Arj here.
T Dave R
Thought i'd post now i've got my very own arj shed in the garden. I feel i'm
able to since i found some pics of psheds online and here's a link to mine:-
http://www.walkeryri.org.uk/Other/images/gear_mess.JPG
Note boxes full of things that may or may not have their hfr.
The knowledge i seek though is whether any sheddi out there read books by
Robert Rankin? He must be a sheddi, as in the Brentford Trilogy the heroes
of the book are found spending time around their shed in the allotment.
There are many other references too.
I'm assuming there will be seeing as there are fans of The Pratchett on here
(i am one).
I shall post some of Rankin's theories on Biros and those two screws that
are left after remantling the toaster wot dont function. Unless i'm not
alone?

although it's a while since I read them. The defenestration of leftover
screws is practised in this establishment and the theory thereof expounded
at length to anyone unfortunate enough to be in the vicinity when it
happens.

(Raises hand)
I /think/ I have all of the Rankin's works such as are available in
papperbok form, but given the rate at which the man churns 'em out, it is
sometimes difficult to keep track.
And I used to have a bicycle named Marchant.

I tidied my shedspace up the other day. But I made a mess with 7m of
silk, a metre of lace and 7m of lining in the conservatory to make up
for it! There are bits of silk thread and scraps all over the place,
and I had to cover certain things up with laundry baskets to prevent the
cats snoozing on the customer's posh frockery!
'Nother sewing chamine on it's way... This will make 16, 13 of which
are fully working, and the oldest (circa 1907) will work as soon as the
belt arrives. In suitably sheddi manner, the lady sending the belt and
other bits laid down my address and mislaid it! Oh, and she's also
sending a zigzagger that picks the fabric up and waves it about to make
the zigzags! I'll post pix when I can.

Same here. I just didn't find the Brenford Trilogy at all funny, so
never bothered with anything else. Sad really. He tried so hard.
Maybe that was it - he tried too hard and spoiled it.

Likewise. Seems to have an attention span of about half a paragraph.

No, no! I cannot really mix oil, sewing machine grease, rust, buffing
wheels and wedding silks in the same shedspace! They curdle...
Upstairs shedspace must remain clean and dry. Downstairs shedspace is
configured for oil/grease/dismembered sewing machines and motors
thereof/plastic and or metal models/glue/paint/cat nests/cutting posh
frockery/dying fabrics etc, but not all at the same time. When the
downstairs space is swathed in miles of silk, it has to be CLEAN, and
t'lads are forbidden to play with paint/glue/grease*/etc. Since it is
easily cleaned (without need for sluicing), it isn't usually a promble.
Tomorrow there may be a slight conflict of interest... I shall have to
try to finish my cutting out before they start painting/gluing/etc.
*Recently I have been the one responsible for playing with the grease,
when fettling up old sewing chamines. I can't cut posh frockery and
slaster grease at the same time.

Is this the time to say I don't find the sacred Pterry that good?

more. But Rankin does seem to keep flogging a dead horse a bit too long.
The first 3 of the Brentford Trilogy were good, the last two were just
laboured. The first two Armageddon books were good, after that, they were
hard going. Pterry is just patchy and I either like his books or hate
them.

Ah. I can do that for myself without pointing my eyes at a book.
I do like his titles, though.
