Steven, Rob, Count, Bladetiger, you absolute rotters !!!

I love the thread guys, to be honest when I posted that comment about 40 nights in the shed, no one replied for a couple of days and I'd completely forgotten about it until 6pm this evening when I logged on and saw all the teasing, lol.

I think everyone was wondering why I didn't reply, don't worry, I wanted to post but I've had a crazy day - T Mobile want to stick a mobile phone mast outside our house, we defeated them via the local council in July but they've appealed to the inspectorate in Bristol. I've created an internet site and am going round setting up a petition and getting people to sign, I aim to get over 1000 signatures. If it happens outside our house, it'll give T-Mobile to go-ahead to put up about 25 masts all over Letchworth and there'll be nothing anyone can do about it. So I spent much of the afternoon standing outside Morrisons, being told to bugger off when I asked for signatures but I had luck outside schools cornering parents so currently have over 200 sigs. Then it was physics and maths, SCD and tennis and I've only just got onto the computer for an extended period.


But....back to the main business. I see that you're all determined not to let me get away with my rash promise and so, to the shed I must go [I'm actually typing this from there right now] !!! All I can say is that To-Jo is going to have to be careful when I hit the tennis fan circuit next autumn, he's already cost me 1 million [he was my first player who lost in the Cinci pick-em game in August so I blame him !] plus he cost me a further 50 quid at the bookies today. When I get my hands on that swede, I'm going to mash him good and proper.

I will post a daily blog and pics of my 40 nights in the shed to prove my quest !!! Maybe I can get B&Q to sponsor me, after all, we got it from there and I'm doing a great job of promoting how comfortable their products can be !!!

All I can say is that is bluddy freezing down here right now, at tennis this evening, my non-racket hand was almost icing over. I've already drunk all my whisky too....

Great post usm ... and that's one hell of a shed!


Good luck with the petition - not like you to set up a website though, is it.


What's SCD stand for by the way? What I think it is, or a school subject that wasn't around in my day?

I'll post my first blog from the shed, tomorrow morning.

Well steven, when one is an "ultimateshedman", one requires a garden dwelling to live up to

Thanks for the good luck wishes with the petition, I now know what these cursed market research guys who stand in town centres trying to get information, feel like, lol Everyone gives me suspicious looks and a wide berth as I try to approach with my form. Haha, when we had the neighbourhood watch meeting about the mast and a website was suggested, everyone immediately looked at me !!

What do you think SCD stands for out of interest ?

Good to see you enjoyed it! - you should know better than to think we'd miss a promise like that one


How was the wooden slatted palace last night?

haha, this is the actual shed where I am spending 40 nights, I will take a pic of it later today but for now, imagine a green, slightly run-down version of this with a door which doesn't shut properly:

The first blog from the depths of the shed:

Night 1:

When spending a night in a draughty shed with the temperature dipping below freezing there are certain precautions to take: two sleepings bags, 3 jumpers and a coat were the first things on my list plus a torch, large wax model of Johnasson, box of pins, picture of Bladetiger on a darts board, posters of Slabba and Boggo and Webley-Smith, a large supply of doritos plus a large bottle of double-malt whisky. Now, our shed has a door which doesn't shut properly and so for much of the year, it provides a home for various rats, hedgehogs, foxes, tramps and even the next-door neighbour's cat when it decides to sleep it rough after a night guzzling mice.

Therefore, in case of emergencies, I've armed myself with two long knives !

Just to give you an idea of the shock to the system, of going out at 1am, imagine going from standing in front of a large fire and then jumping into a pond, it's bloody freezing.

The night was pretty much eventless for 4 hours, apart from impaling myself on barbed wire after missing Bladetiger from 3 feet, an unsuccessful attempt to stop the goddamn local owl patrol from hooting all night long, realising just how much dosh I've lost to the local bookies this year - I reckon I'm one of their favourite customers, swiftly discovering that it;s unwise to drink double malt whisky in large gulps and a rather bizarre dream in which a giant Bethan armed with massive pins was forcing me to sleep in sheds for all eternity.

But then....at 5am, I woke covered in frost [and cursing that the whisky bottle was now empty] to discover something soft and warm brushing against me......

to be continued

Next door's pussy-cat I bet!

If your shed is anything like mine you are in danger of being impaled when a rake falls on you in the middle of the night . .

Or Melissa Berry, she'd still smell lovely after a night in the shed.


For anyone that doesnt know she walked past me after 3 sets indoors at Ilkley and as well as being a stunner, she actually smelt nice when she was perspiring, left quite an impression I can tell you!

As if there's anyone who doesn't know!


Good blog usm If you're going to talk about next door's pussy and EWS though, you'd better hope there are no Americans reading this forum, they'll take it all the wrong way and have this forum censored in no time!
