Cold Ale - The Blokes' Thread!

[The Atheist]

Been having a particularly blokey few days building the sprogs an outdoor playhouse.

Pics in the next day or two - the house has been alive with the sound of power saws!

[The Atheist]

In fact, here's the ground floor.

Nice work Atheist! I'm sure the residents of that house will be quite pleased with it.

Do you plan to shingle the roof of that play house?

Those of little faith & even less bottom said it would fade away.
As of today, there have been 1,578 contributions & the baby appears to be in robust health.
The early 10 pages covered the subjects: beer, rugby, tennis babes, surfer babes, marking out ones territory, Chuck Norris movies, tools, boobs, butts, flatulance & fishing.
The last 10 pages covered: exfoliating, body hair loss, tea, haggis, The Atheist contributing hair for charity, beer, The Ashes & swine flu.
A definate sign of maturing from all concerned!

Whoops. 2008 !

Nope; roof put on today, one whole sheet of 3rd grade 3-ply.

Going back to the first photo, I noticed the footwear on the sawhorse. Seems kind of random. You aren't using that as a hammer are you?

Any further progress on the playhouse?

We have our share of wasps too. This past weekend I eliminated three nests out of the kids fort in the woods.

Not much progress, unfortunately.

It was supposed to get finished on Sunday, but it poured with rain and since then I've been flat out working. This weekend at the latest.

It seems like we English chaps have a charitable streak towards those less fortunate Austrailians. Now that we have regained the Ashes, our sense of fair play has come to the fore. We have done the decent thing and lost the one day series in spectacular fashion. Well, it means so much to them, its the least we could do.

Sounds like sporting talk. Cricket by chance? Ashes? I'll do a little investigating myself.
Over here it is fall and that means one thing; football (the oblong kind).
The Dallas Cowboys are playing their first home game in the brand new stadium which is being qouined as the "Death Star".

I noticed that.

I presume the chaps were still hung over. ODI must be near its use-by date with the introduction of 20/20.

Why do you call it football when almost the entire game is played with ball in or passed by, hand?

I admit that's one hoopy stadium.

Uploading photos shortly....

Ok, here's the almost-completed playhouse.

Apparently it's a treehouse, despite the lack of a tree. Accordingly, you'll note the tree in the background which is about to be attached to the treehouse.



And for those who magnificently donated to the excellent cause of helping drought-stricken Kenyan water supplies, here's the result of the shaving!
