Rich people?

yeah but what if it rains and they get rusty? our revolution can't be destroyed by corrosive elements

More pottering, less posturing

Book on the way already. The Shedmale Eunuch. £9.99 - Oppenheimer Books. 60 pages and some saucy pics of Laurie's swastika pubes pornpal.

The one great regret of my life is that I'm not a shed owner. Makes me suspect I'm not a real man...probably why I go around with my privilege unchecked and contributing to structural misogyny or whatnot. I hope you're listening Laurie Penny...when you finally get around to putting together an economic policy. Priority #1: buy every adult male a shed.

I used to have one on the allotment but the feudal based allotments committee served me a notice on the grounds it was a hazard to would be burglars. Felt like half a person ( note gender free wording) without it. These days I am mostly in the garage but its just not the same.

Might invest in a greenhouse for the sake of transparancy

Criticism has plucked the imaginary flowers on the chain not in order that man shall continue to bear that chain without fantasy or consolation, but so that he shall SHED the chain and pluck the living flower. The criticism of religion disillusions man, so that he will think, act, and fashion his reality like a man who has SHED his illusions and regained his senses, so that he will move around himself as his own true Sun.

We have a garage. I keep my old house records in it.

 

[Blagsta]

My garage records are in the house btw.

 

[DaveCinzano]

I dread to think where you keep your fuckstep tunes.

Check your privelege attack on the New Zealand older mens sheds movement (http://menssheds.org.nz/) in the Tranaki Dail News

"Bottom line, the thing that really sticks in my craw is the fact that men, particularly white ones, are seldom aware of just how easy their life really is, and has been, by sheer virtue of the fact that they have dangly bits. The world has been their oyster but yet some of them still want their subsidised man cave to hole up in. Poor babies... Where am I going with this? Well, rather than ask the public to help fund older male wants versus needs, the very few men wanting this shed could always go out and volunteer face-to-face with the public. That would really assist with their sense of wellbeing and get them out of the house - a constant refrain of the Men's Shed."

His other big favourite was ox heart.

animal organs, you are in me

 

[weepiper]

lets put the she back in shed

There's no he in shed?

identity politics. You're too narrowly focussed on the 'he' and the 'she' in shed to see that there is no 'us'.

 

[Favelado]

My garage records are in the house btw.

Where do you keep your lounge music?

Strange times we live in. But tbh, I'm not exactly receptive to the concept of a communal shed (menz or otherwise). My shed would be my shed.

 

[Captain Hurrah]

You need to be sheducated.

Get out!

 

[Brixton Hatter]

When I was a kid my dad used to make a fucking bang on hotpot...

Spiney, you've just made me want hotpot! Mum used to make a bang-on one too. Haven't had it for years. It's on the menu tonight for me and ms hatter. All I need now is some of my dad's homebrew. I might surprise Ms Hatter and serve it in the shed outside....

Colleen & Darren A and All e-Shed Men >
Are there any Men's Sheds for Gay Men, Bi-Sexual Men, Indian Men, Chinese Men, Kiwis et al ? White collar, blue collar, corporate, self funded retirees, farmers, unionists, pensioners - are they specifically catered for ?
Maybe I'm off track. I thought Men's Sheds were for men. One in, All in. Socialising, learning and bonding together irrespective of race, colour, creed, old or young, six pack or not, diabetic or not, amputee or not, disabled or not, for richer or poorer.
In this nation we all must all seriously consider adopting an accord to grow together, respect each other, respect the soul of the country and reject programs that divide us.
If you want to debate the topic of "different sheds for different men", jump in and have your say. I know where I stand. Time to stand up.

Socialist sheds not conservatories for the rich

Has butcher's got one?

Abashed?

 

[weepiper]

Sheds are proper bourgeois anyway. You have to be able to afford a place with a garden. Same as garages. I'll allow a shed on an allotment.

 

[Ronnie Rubashov]

And all I ask is a tall shed and a star to steer her by...
And...obviously...somewhere to put the shed

 

[Hocus Eye.]

Rubashov, 'your' shed is the 'People's Shed'. Get your boots on. It's off to the re-alignment camp for you.

your ultra-left workerism is beneath you "comrade"

 

[frogwoman]

we're going to have to expel you from the shed for squaddism, we must slowly build the shed not use the rusty tools contained within it straight away in some sort of capitulation to workerist chauvinism

Fair cop...have they got sheds in this camp of yours?

Then occupy their sheds, comrade! All property is theft!

(Sheds left vacant can be squatted as they do not come under the new laws against squatting dwellings.)
