A few minutes of watching Prime Minister's Question Time suggests there is nothing much wrong with Bob's spelling ... Dave |

Seems like a good idea in general to me but I also think once a goverment gets involved and its gets too official 'real' people will probably be put off or you will have some jobs worth type being 'shed commandant' telling others what they can not do lol. I hope it stays real and people could just enjoy it for what it was intended, good place to do something constructive and meet fellow like minded people , sort of like the forums really I suppose. As for Bob's spelling, well there is a lot more to life than spelling and I could'nt give a monkeys about his spelling , I just take my hat off to Bob, even though he knows he has a problem with spelling he still gets involved and posts sharing his knowledge with us all and helping out whenever he can. I am sure it must have been hard for him to start posting but I am glad he did as I have learnt from him, not to mention ended up meeting Bob and I have found a good friend. Hopefully posting will help his spelling but I think more important is the fact its got him involved in 'the outside world' as after his accident he was off the scene so to speak which can when happen someone is suddenly taken from normal life and then in hospitals etc for months. Its happened to me and its hard to get involved and get confidence back so I am glad Bob took the plunge and went on the forums :thumbup: as I think it will have helped him a lot to get back into the flow of things and the world is a better place for it :clap: Cheers Mick. |

As long as our sheds and clubs can stay self funded life is good. As an Ozzie I am glad to see that the mens shed idea has spread over the water. They do indeed vary greatly in focus depending on members' aims and aspirations. Mostly though, I believe the gathering of like minded men from (as has been said in other posts) all walks of life talking whilst doing stuff is quite therapeutic. Who said we can't multi task? And, so what if sometimes chaps just want to sit and natter over a coffee. Our model engineering club is for me a great place to hang out especially the day meetings which are in no way formal. Got a problem with something you are working on? Someone there will have an answer or know someone who does. Then there is Madmodders another great place to hang out. Cheers John B --- End quote --- Your shed must be one of the lucky ones. Each one I have visited has been overlorded by the Insurance co's and OH&S Nazi's :Doh: agree teach those who wish to use the equipment and do things but not waste 6 months with classes and not go near anything. I have found a number of forums great this one moved to the top of my list a while ago. |
