Cobwebs in Grandads shed

I'm getting the feeling that Grandads shed is being underused. ;)

Time to get rid of the cobwebs, eh Chaps?

..and if there's cobwebs, there's spiders... So that'll keep the grans away ;)

You reckon?

GrandadShaggy Thu 04-Jul-19 14:34:11

Haha

Hi Septimia smile

Not afraid of the odd spider then?

midgey Thu 04-Jul-19 14:38:46

How big are these spiders? How many legs? Eight.....or two? grin

GrandadShaggy Thu 04-Jul-19 14:43:34

Haha

The two legged ones are much more friendly..

I think I'm going to man cave this shed a bit. After you ladies have cleaned it up smile

It definetly needs a bar.

I love spiders but don't tell Grandad so I can sneak up on him!!

GrandadShaggy Thu 04-Jul-19 14:55:22

I'm starting to get the feeling that I'm going to need to drum up so male support from somewhere... And quickly wink

How did you work that out Grandad? When I enlisted they said it was full of Grandads yearning for some man-talk! Fake news! It's been empty ever since the Grannies took over with "girly talk" and then de-camped!
Subtle jokes might help keep it clean. grin

Here come the cavalry!

Hi rufus..

I think we need to re group, don't you wink

Rufus2 Thu 04-Jul-19 15:18:38

I don't think we were ever "grouped"! shock We (all two of us!) were put asunder by the Forum police for supporting Lord Reith's BBC beliefs (of all things). I'm sure there are other Grandads lurking out there so maybe your enthusiasm will help them overcome their shyness. We need a stirring Battle Hymn! grin

Yeah, two is less of a group, more of a huddle..

So, on the Grandads shed manifesto/agenda so far..

1. Avoid discussions on Lord Reith
2. Adopt suitable shed battle hymn (and flag)
3. Recruit third member to get past huddle stage.

Good luck chaps!

GrandadShaggy Thu 04-Jul-19 17:30:21

Thankyou.

You're now on the Friends of Grandads shed list. smile

Willow500 Thu 04-Jul-19 18:49:18

I can lend you a humane spider catcher - just don't let them go in my she shed grin

GrandadShaggy Fri 05-Jul-19 12:25:32

Thanks Willow.

I am now introducing a ban on inhumane spider hunting in Grandads shed. smile

Day6 Fri 05-Jul-19 12:29:24

If you have the facilities to brew up, I just might lend you some Windowlene and a duster so you can clean the windows and let some light in. It looks very gloomy in there. is the kettle on??

MaizieD Fri 05-Jul-19 12:35:27

Adopt suitable shed battle hymn (and flag)

Sorry, you're only allowed to do that if you're a Nation... wink

But good luck with your rejuvenation plans, boys grin

GrandadShaggy Fri 05-Jul-19 12:54:22

Thanks Maizie and day6

I'm afraid the recruitment drive is going very slowly. Only one Grandad has shown up ( cheers Rufus), but it's very nice of you Grans to pop in and lend some support. To be fair, whilst you're here, you couldn't tidy up a bit, and clean those dusty windows. I'm far too busy recruiting and doing other blokey stuff ( ie, anything that doesn't include household chores) wink

Maizie: Spoilsport! Are you saying we can't belt out a strong rendition of "Onward Christian Soldiers"? sad
Who's going to stop us!?

Puzzled Thu 21-May-20 18:29:47

Intrigued by the two legged spiders being more friendly, and then some one said that they had been grouped?
Perhaps because my workshop has no windows?

lemongrove Thu 21-May-20 21:23:09

Puzzled....this thread has a year old spider hanging off it.?

Sunny82z Thu 04-Jun-20 21:46:56

Not exactly a gran as no children or grand children; but do have a drill and powerful hose for cobwebs and............gin.

Grandadshaggy is it too late to say our(?) covid project was to turn one of the sheds into a bar? Well used it's been too?

Rufus2 Tue 01-Sep-20 12:58:14

Grandadshaggy is it too late?

'Fraid so! He hasn't been around lately, so that (venomous?) spider has either bitten or cocooned him! Damned cobwebs!

Dust to Dust;
If the Lord don't getcha,
Then the Devil must!" sad
