Oh WOW - a thread about one of my favorite subjects
Well mine is roughly 4m by 6m, fully air conditioned.
It has four rooms, a workshop, a drawing office, a main lounge and an attic.
I built it all by myself and as you can probably tell am damn proud of it.
It also has 32 twin sockets (you can never have to many), surround sound, but unfortunately no plasma yet.
All that said, it is my temporary home - I work, sleep and play in here. :shock:
Happy Birthday Mal
Dont forget - todays the day when excess is the norm
:cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
Hiya Sarah
Well the last one was just amazing, so if you don't mind - I would love to come along to this one.
Not sure if it’s a sign of the times here or what, but to be honest, when I was a kid I could not wait till the school holidays. I was never in, always out doing stuff and loving every minute of it. You hear stories now of kids not looking forward to them because of the boredom factor.
Two of my three girls are always outside playing, with or without me. I suppose it helps as I live in a quiet cul-de-sac. I remember the first times when they wanted to play outside, I used to watch them constantly. Not any more, as I know that I can trust them not to misbehave to badly.
Now, the oldest (14) she is more of a dilemma, as 14 year old girls just do not play, unless of course they forget themselves once in a while and remember that they are still a kid. This year I finally persuaded her to use her pushbike to visit her friends. Of course 14yr old girls don’t do pushbikes, especially not if father has a car. I was crapping myself the first time she rode the 3 miles to her friend’s house. So much so I followed in the car, just to make sure she would be ok.
One week of this, she has persuaded all her mates to dust of their bikes and they go everywhere as a group, she is now never in.
As they all have mobile phones, as long as they keep me updated about where they are and who they are with, I am comfortable.
I don’t think the PS2 has been used once yet (thank god)
My god Steve, it must of been bad - you posted at bloody 4am!!
Although I do force myself to go every 6 months for a check up, it does petrify me every time I go.
I wasn't that bad until a few years ago when my dentist removed 3 of my wisdom teeth in a single sitting. It was absolute hell.
Although my dentist is a great understanding chap it does not affect the dread that I feel every time I go.
Although I do have a friend who adores the dentist. If she has to have any work done, she doesn't even have a local :shock:
Well, I just installed surround sound in my shed, with a huge woofer.
I watched the T-Rex from Jurssic Park and the walls shook. :shock:
Maybe for me – a grand entrance to Radar Love by Golden Earring may be apt, although Green Manalishi With the Two Pronged Crown by Fleetwood Mac is probably more appropriate.

Just my opinion, but in the main, the British do seem extremely reserved about receiving poor service in general.
Just by the nature of my job, I spend a lot of time in restaurants and the amount of times I notice a couple on the next table complaining about the food, service or both.
The waitress walks over and asks if everything is ok and what is there reply?
Yes, fine thank you
FFS Why????????
This so bloody gets me riled. So much so, last year a couple had spent 10 minutes telling each other how bad everything was, waitress walks over, they give the usual reply, I stand up, walk over and say my two penneth. I think I embarrassed the guy, because he finally spoke up.
He went to talk to someone and his partner leaned over and thanked me, being completely honest and saying that they would never think about complaining.
Fingers crossed, in the future they would be a bit more vocal when receiving bad service.
