One of which was uk.rec.sheds
I thought it had died a silent death, but have just re-discovered it on Google groups :~)))
It is populated by many wierd and wonderfull people, and has a language all its own:
Molish : To make, to construct. Opposite of 'demolish' A 'sheddism'.
See usenet group uk.rec.sheds. "Not having one to hand, I molished one out of 'loominum."

One of them once wrote this poem:
This is our ancient shed, good as a lie in bed, God save the shed. Long to remain in, with a roof made of tin, full of a load of tqt, and perhaps a cat. Ooodles of finest junk, roof made out of old bunk, God save our shed. We have a sacred task, midst our old stuff to bask. Keepers of things made to last last of the past. We partake of B A at the end of the day, here in our Shed. These are the things you see, which I hold dear to me, Homebrew and a cup of tea, and a fine PP. Let the shed ever stand, finest place in the land, GOD SAVE THE SHED. NB tqt=I think it means 'tat' BA=Brown Ale PP=Pork Pie Homebrew |
