Some days are diamonds...

[Cliff Rogers]

Nice one Craig.... I'm happy for you.
& what Gumby said but if you haven't won anything like that before, enjoy it....
don't spend the whole lot tomorrow in the same shop....
make it last like a good bottle of port & a box of chocolates.

Or sex?
Nah, that's never worked in the past :eek:

[Wongo]

Yeah Craig, get a bigger workshop.

[Schtoo]

I'd go with all those annoying little things that never seem to warrant spending money on them myself.

Some more shop furniture, clamps are good, a couple blades for things, etc, etc.

Lucky mongrel.

Bah Humbug...

[E. maculata]

Or sex?
Nah, that's never worked in the past :eek:

Where does one start with a opening like this nah I'll leave it well alone.
Seriously nice news, just in time for chrissy too.

[craigb]

Yeah Craig, get a bigger workshop.

Geez Wongo,
You and Zed are shedist.

Shedism is no laughing matter you know

[Wood Borer]

I like your current shed Craig.

Sure, it could be bigger - what shed couldn't be bigger?

Your shed has a warm quality atmosphere and it has character. It is the shed equivalent of a home as different from a house. Not many other spaces that size could give you so much pleasure.

[craigb]

Thanks WB.

C'mon borer - off the fence buddy...

Next time I'm in Sydney I'll visit your shed Zed and write a touchy feely but honest appraisal if it meets the standard of Craig's.

Sheds are places often reflecting the personality and nature of the owner.:eek:

One of my more favourable moments in Sydney was in Craig's shed at some early hour with Craig, Wongo, Zed and Silent.

Actually, you're right there Rob. I mean, my new shed is just this great big tin box. No character at all. Granted I've got 97.6 square metres of floorspace, 3 metres high at the walls. Sure, I've got rows of double powerpoints down both sides plus some hanging from the roof. It's got banks of flouros for night and overcast days and clear sheet skylights for the daytime. It has a toilet and a sink and windows. But it has no character.

I'm thinking of setting up a bench under the house for when I want to do handtool work. It will remind me of home No, seriously I am.

Mine has character, like the local tip, called the Grotto, Grot Oh better clean it up sometime.
No toilet but I've got a bucket, no sink but water is almost on, birds still come in and crap over everything, but I do have power.
Lights are still on the wish list, but then it is so character building operating a saw in the dark.

The character walks in when you do.....a real character.

Gee thanks Termite. Most people just call me a smart asre bastard

Had to share this one.

Today I won the last badge draw at my club for the year.

$3800 - you beauty!

The draw accumulates at $100/week so it was quite a jackpot.

I've never won anything in my life before either.

So whaddya reckon I should do with it?

What was the nice Mr Nielsen's address again?

Craig

(still amazingly sober )

Share the goodwill around Craig and post bragging pics of any wonderful acquisitions - congratulations always nice to read good news.

Cheers
