That's not a shed, it's a summer house.
A shed's not a shed without - 1) one old lawn mower that you never use 2) some old tins of paint that might come in handy one day 3) some old beach toys and inflatable objects 4) last year's bulbs 5) some string 6) an assortment of plant pots or is that just mine?

Nothing missing for me. I don't keep bent screws.

Despite not having as much luck finding a new apartment as I hoped when beginning the search back in November, right now I'm living with various friends and relatives, I'm probably otherwise more satisfied with my life now than I've been for years since I've been to a successful job interview yesterday. People who read the English-language Danish monthly newspaper The Murmur might see my contributions to that publication in the near future... gonna live like a freelance fiend now!
I'm also in the process of getting romantically involved with a Chinese exchange student living at my old dormitory as she developed a crush on me a couple weeks before I moved, she's currently on a study trip to Netherlands/Belgium/France but I've been staying in contact with her online. |

^^ thank you both for the kind thoughts...
 unfortunately, the whole thing isn't as romantic as you picture as regrettably, we aren't moving into the property. even more regrettably, out of necessity admittedly, I'm becoming one of those people that I have very large reservations about... namely a 'Buy-To-Let Landlord'. as you all know, I have lived in with my work for 20 years now, as has Sue who is also a development manager for the same company. well, it's all fun and games until you come to retire... homeless...  at 47, this has been giving me increased cause for concern and Sue increasingly sleepless nights so last year, we decided to put all our savings together and buy something modest in a nice part of the country which we could retire to... eventually. in the mean time, we have agreed to let it out for a reasonably affordable rental, give the right person relative security of tenure, carry out any works which need doing and keep any increases below the rate of inflation. You are welcome to throw eggs in my direction, but I do have huge concerns about the present state of the housing market and the seemingly limitless appetite for BTL landlords to rip off the younger generation in particular. Neither of us want to be like that; we'll only buy once, out of necessity for our future, and be as fair as we can in the mean time.

When we moved into our current house we was knackered by the time the lorry was unloaded and all the cooking & eating utensils were still packed away in the removal crates so I went to the local Tesco Express and bought three of those dreadful frozen TV roast diners that we ate with disposable cutlery. Each year after that Alex insisted that we "celebrate" moving day by having a TV diner on that day. Needless to say this was one tradition that got quietly forgotten once she stated Uni. [I should also add that the removal men asking "What's in here, Heavy Metal?" for every single one of the 14 boxes of CDs and LPs they unloaded got very old very quickly.  ]Anyway, good luck with the move Jared, hope nothing too expensive gets broken or mislaid.

Hope it all goes smoothly Jared. Maybe you should get the number of the local Pizza delivery, just in case.

Just thought I'd let you all know that *should* be completing on our house this morning...
apparently, I'm going to be down there in the morning, donning my marigolds and cleaning out the oven...

Daryl does a pretty impressive fingerstyle version of Bohemian Rhapsody which I think I've shown on the forum once or twice before.

I love that whole percussive technique - have done ever since I first saw Levin using the Chapman Stick & also his 'funk fingers'

One day I really ought to get off my arse and actually see someone at the Union Chapel. The unusual guitar technique sounded like fingerstyle from your description and quick YouTube of Sam Ford confirms that. This seems to be on a bit of a resurgence at the moment since Michael Hedges popularised it back in the 80s, especially with young singer/songwriter/guitarist around the London area. This is a friend/acquaintance of mine called Daryl Kellie with the title track from his current album: Edited by Dean - April 30 2015 at 08:50 |

Ha yes, somebody else told me that, so we did. Fortunately it was only an hour and a half so not too buttock-numbing. Support act was good too - a guy on his own called Samuel Ford. Unusual guitar technique - lots of banging of strings and guitar body and harmonics. One to watch I feel.

The Union Chapel is one of my favorite venues - seen The Enid & Fishermans Friends there (not the same gig, obviously)
If it's a long gig though... take a cushion

Indeed it was Jared, and all the better for seeing one of my bass guitar heroes.

I'm assuming it was a good gig, Alan?
