Following the demise of the fridge in my shed a new fridge is to be delivered and to herald this auspicious moment there is to be a fridge opening event 9.00 pm Fri 23 /7/4 To celebrate this there will be a gathering of the cream of mudcat musos As all Mudcat members will acknowledge most of the mudcat threads emanate from the East Riding of Yorkshire As East Yorks finest are to attend this could well be the mudcat event of the year. It is hoped as auspicious events spring to mind more of this occasional series will be announced

G'day,

Stewart Island (NZ) has a fine Shed Culture. Some are used for shed parties, others contain a wonderful assemblage of tools and 'bit's'things'. My old mate 'Arkwright' was our shopkeeper = now he has a digger, front-end loader a couple of trucks and a heap of other bits'n'bobs. Basicly, He "sell's holes and collects sheds". Arky's 'off-island', celebrating his 60th B'day in Chistchurch.

What a collection of sheds Arky owns. Here's a poem from 2000 about Shed #1. OSH = Occupational Health and Safety, who get a bit paranoic about safety in whorplaces.

Arkwright's Shed

Years ago, so 'tis said, Arkwright built a shed.
The neighboirs were all out for slaughter.
They thought it was poor, to be living next door,
To the Island's industrial quarter.

It's a "shed", for the yarn, but it's more like a barn,
You could near fit a footy pitch in it.
Arky vowed and declared, no junk stored in this shed,
Now of course it is filled to the limit.

There's a boat that won't float, like a duck with the bloat,
Arkwright scored it in one of his deals.
There's a pukaru truck, that ran out of luck,
Brakes, clutch and a couple of wheels.

There's old dozer treads, stuff you'll find in most sheds,
But the things that astounds are the tools there,
There's stuff Mr Melhop wont have in his workshop
You could damn near build a battleship in there.

There's a lathe in that shed, with a ten foot long bed.
Fair turns up a storm when rotating.
If my whiskers got caught, my life would be short,
I'd be spinning, there is no debating.

It was last Wed-nes-day, that OSH came our way,
To check out the Island for safety,
All tools must have guards - no junk in our yards.
I panicked for Arky, my matey.

I swore it's for sure, Arky ain't locked the door,
All the time that the shed's been erected.
Anyone can walk in, with a skin full of gin,
Use the tools there with safety neglected.

When they saw Arky's folly, OSH would go off their trolley,
And insist that his door he sould lock it.
Yes, bolt up the tools.. but alas the poor fools..
Lock the door? When he ain't even got it?

Cheers - Sam - Stewart Island (NZ)

OI Andy, why have you started two threads? Is this because you have two sheds? If so, why haven't you started one for your marquee, and one for your summer house? (This man has a huge garden and lots and lots of money)

Keep out of the shed when you're in that 'double vision' state Andy - Flo may find you, and you'll get Andy Capp'ed! It also makes you wobbly on your ve4locipede... Didn't Gracie Fields have a song along those lines?

Cheers - Sam

BTW - Watch out when you open the fridge door!!!!

Dear Harpmaker
Ive been toying with some ideas for el Teds new guitar obviously its got to be a Flamencocaster but with having to make provision for the golpe plates I'm at a loss to find somewhere to put the tremelo arm given his ingenuity with chamois and vaseline do you think this will this be a problem for el Ted?

G'day Andy,

Hope the shed party went well - I'm just home from a visit to a GREAT SHED - 'twas with our local Eeal Estate Agent - who wants to trade the new shed for my century-old house and give me a fair few quid as well... Since the shed has flasher living accommodation than my house --- I'm tempted. Only problem is ---- it's uphill from the Pub, while my current shack is only 100 paces away - on the flat - note that el ted....

Decisions....

Slainte - Sam - whose tempted by a REAL SHED

SillyBilly,
          The solution to your problem is simple! With the trousered profit from the sale of your house, buy yourself an Orange Patriot mountain bike with 27gears. You wont notice the uphill ride to the pub then.I would recommend the 7+ with a fifth element rear shock.

I bet that your shed doesn't have a clocktower on it like my one. The clock is even radio-controlled, so I don't even have to reset it for BST etc. The only trouble is that it's still full of all the crap that I used when I built it. One day I'll get it sorted out.

I'm not one to brag but it does have a clock and a FM aerial mast the radio is of course always tuned to Radio 3 so as not to miss Late Junction (thought I'd just add the last bit so as to keep the thread musical!)

I live in hope that one day I'll have a shed band playing shed music which is a genre that I have invented which to my mind is the best way to treat genres Do you have a garage band perchance?
