Where have all the grandads gone?

The lurkers actually are coming out on the Christmas Tips thread.

Ah yes, there's a prize.

What a cynic!

Lurkers are lurkers. What is there to wonder about that? Plenty else in the universe to wonder about after all!

It might just be interesting to know if I'm talking to 7 million people or whatever QNHQ reckons it is, or just 10.

Where are the GNHQ lot this morning anyway?

Why are they leaving us alone?

Planning sing-alongs?

sorreee glass. didn't say that.

jings, if one person reads what you post and responds, isn't that enough? Nice if it's more perhaps but one is enough, philosphically speaking, isn't it?

I don't mind really.

jinglej 7 million seems a tad over-ambitious. I think the figure GNHQ gave was 7,000 but that was a while ago and there are certainly new names appearing, so I guess the membership total is up. Still unlikely to be 7 million, though.

Well, I confess to being a bit of a lurker, but I'm not ashamed!

Absent - I didn't really think it was seven million!

You're not a lurker Nanachrissy!

You seem to have mislaid a 'j', jingle, while you've been away playing at being a ghost.

I have a 'shed' but it's really a workshop, and despite protestations my wife still insists on calling the workshop a shed.

When does a shed become a workshop I wondered?

We do have another shed - this one really is a shed, as it contains a freezer and tumble dryer - so I guess that makes it a utility shed.

Anyone else have this set up?

railman I do think you can call a shed anything you want really,over the years any shed/s we have had when we lived in the large family house we had have been used as playhouses for the children/studies for when needing complete peace and quiet when revising/storage for outgrown bikes and prams/one was turned into an outside bar when we had barbecues/and last but not least when we had Juicey Lucy our pot bellied pig she had it as her house complete with posh curtains so really you do whatever you want.I must say that if I had to go outside to retrieve drying from a shed mr.glamma would be doing the deed not me.

My shed is a suitable support for a large and very fragrant honeysuckle which has now found its way inside where the spiders breed.

Is it an evergreen one? Mine is actually holding the shed together, I think. To my mind, a shed is something that's got lots of junk stored in it; if it has shelves and hooks for tools and is all neat and tiday it becomes a workshop [especially if it has a lathe in it]. I have several lathes in the garage and a small engine of some kind.

One of my sheds got tidied the other week and now has things hung up....does this mean it is still a shed?

Depends what's hanging I think. If it's tools it's now a workshop. [this is only my definition, mind]. She's are wonderful. they can be anything you want them to be. My daughter had a 'pub shed' in her garden.

'She's are wonderful. they can be anything you want them to be' priceless but true! but I'm confused why is there a jingle AND a jinglej?

That's a long story, Jodi. I'll let others answer that. I think computer rooms have become modern day sheds. Not sure about anyone else, but mine is like a refuge from the rest of the world [albeit having 'the rest of the world' on tap, as it were.
