SNORT!
El Sancho jerks awake.
Please don’t tell me I slept through a discussion about Monty Python or gardening sheds or something.
Also, you know, that ball there ain’t gonna throw itself.

This one looks flimsy but is made of railway sleepers embedded deep into the soil. Nothing short of a direct hit by something big would topple it.Quote:

I think it'll look good.
I don't know...the testical tape for measuring sheep sounds kind of interesting.Quote:

Paul-that shed is a work of art just as it is! A large, primary-colored flower would simply detract from the stunning simplicity of its lines and the rugged wood its made of.
I'm afraid you did miss some go-o-o-d conversation , Sancho, lol. Now, fetch!Quote:

As Kiki has just found out, we're discussing what's in "the drawer" in our respective houses in The Bloke's Thread.
We have been expounding certain physics theories as to how "the drawer" works - you know, the phenomena whereby nothing you want can be found, but everything you will want next week is- by which time it'll have disappeared again.
We also seem pretty unanimous that it's some kind of inter-dimensional portal/ wormhole through which objects disappear until they are sought by females - much to the chagrin of males who want to access the contents. It is a source of constant frustration and humiliation, but what can you do against the primary laws of the universe?
Perhaps there's a superhero who's conquered drawer physics?
Drawer Man!!
No, it doesn't sound right. They all wear their drawers outside their trousers, so perhaps that would just be confusing...

"The mystery of the Bermuda Triangle was solved today as it has been recently discovered that Margaret Meldrew put away all the planes 'to know where they are'." (Victor Meldrew)
Eve Voltaire hated women because 'they aways know where things are.'
I always say to Mr Kiki (I ike that :D) that I put those things away, because at least then one of us knows where things are - if I can remember, which sometimes does not occur and in which case the law of the universe that I am also human and may forget things is proven once again. This doesn't change the fact that Mr Kiki always asks for stuff he has put away...
I call it saving time and damage limitation. You call it humiliation and embarrassment.
:devil:
No, to be fair, everything is not too much organised in this house and there is enough to search for which I have put away.
As my father says, 'I have not lost it, I just don't know where it is.' (whatever that means)
Of course women have mobile man-drawers known as handbags. They hold twice as much and are three times more mysterious.
If I'm looking for something and Mrs P utters the phrase "It's in my handbag." I know I might as well give up the search.

I wonder who came up with the idea that superheroes wear capes in the first place anyway... I know I don't. :)
The drawer may follow a similar principle as the dryer where one sock out of a pair always seems to get lost... I'll go for the wormhole idea.Quote:

The worst part is that most of them have never been recovered. bah

My grandma died when I was eleven, but now, at the age of 29, I have several handbags of different sizes which change according to the clothes I wear and it sometimes happens that I can't find something... However that is only very rarely.
I am not one of those women who carry around twenty lipsticks, twelve powder boxes, 3 magazines and a whole lot of other junk in their bags. Although mine are big, they only have my seven necessities in it:
1 lip balm lipstick
my glasses case (if I do not forget)
my book
my keys
1 bottle of water
my mobile
my purse
And that is all.
Have we girls already talked about what is in our handbags, actually or not?
That about the dryer... It doesn't happen to me anymore... I think the disappearing socks ceased to be when I started clearing up the bedroom and consistently throwing them all in the washing basket.
The Finder - with one big round magnifying eye, and a handful of long thin fingers to reach into the other dimension behind the drawer.
Not even he would venture into a lady's handbag.
