Now, THAT'S unfair! I must stand up for the sheddies here. They
aren't perverted, but are such independent thinkers that they have
little direct contact with the real world[*] or even uk.rec.gardening.

[*] As many authors have pointed out, the inside of ancient and
well-cluttered storage units, such as sheds and wardrobes, tends
to attach itself to other universes. Nobody knows why. This is
why things disappear and strange things appear in such units, and
accounts for the postings on uk.rec.sheds.


And sometimes, posters drift in and out too.... I was here at the dawn of
urs and voted for it, too. Then, RL got heck tick. But I like it here, so
I'll waft across now and then.

Strange, the people you run into in the unlikeliest places.

Well,....

Apart from recently being declared a diabetic I'm OK. Or, as the
Digestive said to the Rich Tea -- mustn't crumble.

I already do, but thanks anyway. The best advice I can give to a new
diabetic is to talk to other diabetics. Which I do, some of them here in
the shed.

There'll always be a PP and a BA for you, and if we can find them,
biccies - oh, and a nice comfy sack of hardened cement to sit on.

But mind that nail on your cardy...

Never mind, there's a darned neegle and some wool somewhere in one of
those tobacco tins.

uk.rec.gardening was a pretty successful one, too. It became an active
group almost immediately, and has not stopped since :-)

But, for sheer surrealism, uk.rec.sheds has no competition. Only
alt.aeffle.und.pferdle comes close.
