Shed of the year

Wow! A Shed of the Year contest!

BBC News - Shed heaven: Contenders line up for Shed of the Year 2015

Wait a minute! Japanese themed teahouses? Ballroom sheds? 1950's Post Office replicas? That's GAY!!

A REAL MAN'S shed contest should be judged based on REAL MAN criteria, e.g. weight of rusty old nuts and bolts stored, how many boxes of old bits containing stuff that might come in handy someday (e.g. contact breakers from a 1967 Morris Minor) and, obviously, the quantity of old porn magazines with mould growing on them.

What is happening to our society?

It's a 'classic' 1985 Audi 80 I believe. worth over 80 quid....

I don't think owning one of these sheds is gay per se. Nothing wrong with a man cave being decked out to the owners specification, even if that is a 1950's p-off. However, each of these constructions would ALSO require a shed as Xoggy describes in order to be able to build it. It's the natural order of things.

Edit - that p-off shed is a disgrace. Laminate flooring? Where are the lino tiles with the edges curving up? Where are the queues of biddies and dole moles? Where are the endless piles of official forms, but not the one you're looking for? Where is the sense of impending doom? All missing. At least I can commend him on the excessive use of strip lighting and the fact there are no staff around.

Of course a nice place to sit and drink the odd vodka is good too. Not being into gardening I've turned the late missus's fancy wooden greenhouse into my little private club. But post office replicas? nah. My little retreat looks great decorated with lots of snail shells, skulls and pheasant feathers I find in my woodland walks, son's runner up snooker trophies, etc.. And don't cost me a penny.

Oi Dad, where's my trophies?

Er, they've got pride of place in the shed, son.
