It's just something I was wondering about whilst lying in bed this morning.
So, has anyone here NOT got a shed? I'm thinking maybe Vulch...
-
Yes, you're correct, Peeps.
-
Yes, you're correct, Peeps.
Do you miss not having one? I share one, but rarely use it.
-
A shed is quite big, so you can use it metaphorically to mean "loads".
That she'd shed sheds shed light on the diet.
Okay, as you were.

Actually, my flat is my shed - it's where I keep all my old junk that I've collected over the years.
-
Actually, when they do the traffic reports on Radio 2 they often say there's a shed load somewhere or other. I always want to know, "A shed load of what? Pomegranates?"
-
Mine has still to be erected in the new garden, after I have built a new roof (original is rotting after 11 years and no maintenance). I will need to get a second one for the garden stuff as the original one is meant to be my workshop.
-
Sheds don't seem to appear much in Beau Peep, (or Horace strips come to think of it). This isn't a dig at Roger, and I appreciate that not everyone will have an interest in outbuildings per se, but they are noticeable by their absence.
Not even a potting shed.

I think it was revealed at some stage that Dennis carried a photo of a shed in his wallet. I have no idea why.

Ha ha! That's wonderful. Tell me it wasn't hexagonal!

That's perfect........don't say another word! :D

No shed, just a Wheelie Bin Cupboard.
With a collection every other week, don't spend too much time in there! :o

We have a little shed (5X7?) that the previous owners had made into a playhouse, we were just using it to shove garden junk into for years. A couple of summers ago we cleared it out – painted the walls and put green –grass carpet down and two hot pink garden chairs and made it into our “reading room” – it is a fun little place for my daughter and I to go read in the summer. It too will need the roof fixing one of these days, but we do have electricity in it so there is a light and a fan in the summer and a space heater in the spring/fall. Lovely little place, you feel like you’ve been on holidays sitting out there.
-
Your shed sounds like fun, Diane. I love the fact that it's got electricity.
-
I have two sheds. One smells permanently of beer now though, ever since the really cold spell we had a few years ago, popped all the cans and bottles that I stored there.
All you could hear for weeks, was woodlice and earwigs singing "Auld Lang Syne". Mind you, it wasn't as funny as watching them trying to shake hands.

TWO sheds? Are you Arthur?

He was a distant relative. Descended from the Buttcheeks-Crotchfondlers, a strange side of the family we don't mention much. A busy bunch if I remember right, always seemed to have their hands full.

No shed here. All the junk goes in the garage.

Many garages, particularly what they call "integral" garages, are converted into accommodation these days, as extra rooms as it were. Because of this, I think sheds are assuming even more importance, both in our urban, and rural communities. There are many people who have both garages AND sheds in fact.
Here's an integral garage (in a semi-rural setting)...

Facinating, I would like to see that in an urban setting, perhaps with a wheely bin out front.

Can't help you there Diane, my house is semi rural, with an integral garage and a wheelie bin
cupboard, so I don't qualify.
-
Anyone like to talk about pencil-sharpeners now? I have one on my desk. It's the classic design and you have to hold it down with your left hand while rotating the handle with your right. (If you're left-handed, reverse this process).
My pencils all have very sharp points, I'm happy to say.
-
We had one of those when I was a child. I think Mum's still got it, screwed to the top of an item of furniture.
It is really difficult to sharpen a pencil in a device attached to the top of a wardrobe.

I got one of these from Lidl around 2006. I sharpened the 10 x boxes of 10 pencils I got at the same time, put the sharpener back in the box and haven't had to use it since!
-
Is it just me or is there something very therapeutic about sharpening pencils?
-
I have a battery powered sharpener that is fun to use. The trouble is, I don't use pencils that much and have lots of .5mm propelling pencils instead.
-
The posh editor's got one. So has flash Edward. Chris, he definitely has one.

It is the fabulous smell - it is right up there with fresh baked bread and puppy breath.

I can't help but think that one resident is showing off a bit with the three wheely bins. I like saying wheely bin :-) I would have no use for one seeing that we don't have things like garbage pick up or sidewalks, but it just sounds like a wheely good invention.

Here's a gag you can use for your next stand-up routine then.
Refuse collector: "Where's yer bin?"
Lady of the house: "Jamaica"
Refuse collector: "No, where's yer wheelie bin?"
Lady of the house: "I has wheelie bin to Jamaica"

The three different bins are for general household waste, compost (garden and vegetable waste) and recycling (tins, jars, plastics).
-
We've got four---the ones mentioned above AND one for paper and cardboard.
Nyah! Nyah!

I hear four wheelie bins, can anyone beat four?

Didn't I see a news article on some town that has a special wheelie bin for cats? I'm sure I recall a lady dumped one in a grey bin (when it should obviously been brown).

I think brown is for garden waste!

Nope. Brown for cats. They take them away and recycle them into useful things like mouse cages and hamster wheels...ah the irony.
