SYMPTOMS OF BEING OVER 25

Are you displaying any of these symptoms?

1. You leave gigs before the encore to "beat the rush".

2. You get more excited about having a roast on a Sunday than going
clubbing.

3. You stop dreaming of becoming a professional footballer and
start dreaming of having a son who might instead.

4. Before throwing the local paper away, you look through the
property section.

5. You prefer Later with Jools Holland to Top of the Pops.

6. All of a sudden, Tony Blair is not 46, he's only 46.

7. Before going out anywhere, you ask what the parking is like.

8. Rather than throw a knackered pair of trainers out, you keep
them because they'll be all right for the garden.

9. You buy your first ever T-shirt without anything written on it.

10. Instead of laughing at the innovations catalogue that falls out
of the newspaper, you suddenly see both the benefit and money saving
properties of a plastic winter cover for your garden bench and an
electronic mole repellent for the lawn. Not to mention the plastic man
for the car to deter would-be thieves.

11. You start to worry about your parents' health.

12. Sure, you have more disposable income, but everything you want
to buy costs between 200 and 500 quid.

13. You don't get funny looks when you buy a Disney video or a
Wallace and Gromit bubble bath, as the sales assistant assumes they are
for your child.

14. Pop music all starts to sound ****.

15. You opt for Pizza Express over Pizza Hut because they don't have
any pictures on the menus and anyway, they do a really nice half-bottle
of house white.

16. You become powerless to resist the lure of self-assembly
furniture.

17. You always have enough milk in.

18. To compensate for the fact that you have little desire to go
clubbing, you instead frequent really loud tapas restaurants and
franchise pubs with wacky names in the mistaken belief that you have not
turned into your parents.

19. While flicking through the TV channels, you happen upon C4's
Time Team with Tony Robinson. You get drawn in.

20. The benefits of a pension scheme become clear.

21. You go out of your way to pick up a colour chart from B&Q.

22. You wish you had a shed.

23. You have a shed.

24. You actually find yourself saying "They don't make 'em like that
anymore" and "I remember when there were only 3 TV channels" and "Of
course,in my day...."

25. Radio 2 play more songs you know than Radio 1 - and Jimmy Young
has some really interesting guests on.

26. Instead of tutting at old people who take ages to get off the
bus, you tut at schoolchildren whose diction is poor.

27. When sitting outside a pub you become envious of their hanging
baskets.

28. You make an effort to be in and out of the curry house by 11.

29. You come face to face with your own mortality for the first
time, and the indestructibility of the 20s gives way to a realisation
that you are but passing through this life and if you don't settle down
soon and have kids you'll have no-one to look after you when you're old
and frail and incontinent and you can't go on p**sing your life up
against a wall forever and think of how many brain cells you're
destroying every time a swift half turns into 10 pints, and look at
that, a full set of stainless steel saucepans for 99 quid, they cost as
much as 35 each if you buy them separately, and you get a milk pan
thrown in, ...

30. You find yourself saying "is it cold in here or is it just me?"

....and now the book to accompany this thread

MEN & SHEDS

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...943690-6918035

Synopsis
It has been said that a shed is to a man what a handbag is to a woman - both contain all the essentials for surviving in the modern world and in the same way that no decent man would ever consider looking in a woman's handbag uninvited, so no reasonable woman would dream of setting foot in a man's shed. This book is a study of over 40 men and their sheds around the UK, a quirky look at the personalities and the passions hidden within the shed, whether it is used for eccentric inventions, as a chapel, a housing for a milk bottle collection, an allotment shed, a home for exotic reptiles or a place to make music. The fascinating story of each bloke and his shed is accompanied by photographs of the inner sanctum and of the customized exteriors.

Well as promised here are a couple of pics of my sheds
The small one 8'x8' is for all my mowers....6 of them and other bits for gardening, chainsaws etc.
The larger one 16'x8' is my workspace and general starage for all my adventure gear.
The smaller one was bought over from the other side of the section by being rolled on scaffold tube by hand....by me!!!
Both are on a timberframe well off the ground so no risk of flooding.
The poxy shade thing in the front is about to be replaced with a garage door layed flat up on a steel frame.
In the doorway is my "apprentice" she IS allowed in my sheds whereas "mum" is NOT!!!
