I spent some of the most miserable times of my life in there. There was a whole culture based on that shed, including a shed song, frequent bin fires and competitions to see how smokey we could get the atmosphere. There used to be regular fights in there, which often resulted in the furniture being completely destroyed. That 'shack' had a TV, video, Hi-Fi (300 Watts RMS), dartboard, pirate radio station (briefly), and a long-running feud with the next-door neighbours. That shed wasn't just a shack, it was a way of life.

Sorry, Dave, I've just clicked that your the Dave with the shed on Brian's home page. I assume Brian passed on the messages of congratulations from this thread. But are you saying you no longer have the shed ? What's going on ? I'm concerned. What's this genetic flaw thingy ? Surely a genetic predisposition to shedding is a blessing. You appear to be a shedal back-slider. Have you had a bad shedding experience ?

I have to admit that I have lived in a house now for almost 4 years, and that The Shed now hosts nothing more remarkable than a tumble dryer and a few tools. The picture was taken in it's heyday, when hordes of drunken youths (up to 6 before it was full) would party long into the night. However, the house I now live in is commonly referred to as 'The Shed', and it's name lives on as the name of the BBS I run, so no-one could say that The Shed has truly died. Shedding is a way of life and a culture, not just sitting in a hut. If you are truly sheddy you can make the mightiest castle feel like a shed just by adopting the right attitude. You don't need fungii on the roof or green slime crawling up the creosote to make the perfect shed, just a sheddy disposition. Sometimes I look back on The Shed with affection, but times change and people move on. I don't regret moving out, and I don't mind that in many ways I am probably becoming less shedal. I might not be surrounded by wood, but my soul will always smell of creosote. : Jeff (aspiring to Daveness) Drabble Being Dave is not so much how you were named, but more a way of life, a culture... blah blah etc. etc... you get the idea.

They are not only in my blood, they are my whole being. I am infused with shedness. Apparently I could even have an S chromosome. We're checking. As to the sheep, well, I couldn't possibly comment.
