A warm welcome to... 'Motorbikes and other things'
and
'The Shed On Line'
aka
'A Cuppa Tea n Yarn' This site originates in Australia and has been set up to provide a place for a few motorcyclist friends to stay in contact with each other. Guests will soon realise that motorbikes are just one-amongst-many of the participants' interests. We chat about any and all sorts of things. In May 2016 we began enjoying the company of men who were looking for a site to be called 'The Shed On Line'. A very warm welcome to you blokes. You are most welcome to join in any topics of interest to you and, of course, to register and start your own topics. You need to Register to post, start new topics, and access the Members Only Section. Registration is easy and is, of course, FREE. Cheers to all, Clem  |

Hello to all Members and Guests, and a very special hello and welcome to the people from a Shed On Line (which is slated to close down), to this new 'Shed On Line'. It is a real pleasure to have your company here and I hope you get a great deal of enjoyment chatting and sharing. A couple of other things of interest: * Unfortunately, as I understand it from ProBoards, we cannot change the 'actual name' of the site (ie. 'Motorbikes and other things'). So I have done the next best thing, which I hope you like, in the opening post, now stickied at the top of the forum.  * I hope you don't mind that only Admins can post and edit etc in this Welcome. The reason for this is, when this site was first set up, this thread became totally cluttered with posts about anything and everything under the sun, including pics of sundry things and music videos from just about everyone on the planet who had ever sung a toon!  After just a few milliseconds (  ), I decided the best thing to have as the forum opening, was a stand-alone Welcome. Best wishes to all, Clem |

Well 3 more days till the state of origin, it will be a great game, if no one gets killed, NSW will do anything to win it. but I think the QLD wil walk away with it again. So it is good to have this page set up for the members from the men's shed that closed down, so I hope you let your friends from the shed know about this program. and good luck everyone. DAMBUSTER41.

Well it looks like I am the only one, no one wants to talk to dambuster now. or Dambuster41. I will talk to you mate, I grabbed your idea about time capsules and I am thinking of a Dr Who Tardis (his time machine that looks like a police telephone box on the outside.) I have been thinking a time capsule world be good for things like weddings and 18th and 21st Birthdays etc. I checked it out the event planners can hire props for the day or night of the event so maybe our shed could hire them a Tardis and the guests could donate things for a time capsule and put them in the Tardis. Later, the recipient could bottle-up their time capsule and give us back our Tardis. Ultimately we could hire a package pf party props to make the event 1) Unique and different to the normal 2) A photo opportunity 3) Fun 4) Memorabilia So what do you think of that idea Dammy. |

In the photo, I am carrying out a preflight check: - Check oil level. - Check all wiring is connected. - No leaks anywhere. - No birds nests in engine compartment. No, I have never done any skydiving. Why would you jump out of a perfectly operating aeroplane? Hehee. Peter. |

Morning everyone, Did you hear of the old man having a shave, every time he finished he still had hair on the side of his face, so he went to a barber and told him about it, the barber said I can fix that. he went to the sink and picked up a small egg shaped ball, and put it in the old fellers mouth, and told him to put it on the inside of the cheek, he shaved him and the old feller said that's great, no hair on my face a all, then he said I am glad I did not swallow your ball, the barber said that's ok if you do you can bring it back in a day or to just like the other old fellers do.

Well how about that, we have both had the flue on our birthdays that means no visitors and no presents.
so that really spoiled my week, my sister had a bottle of rum for me, my son had a bottle of rum for me.
and the grand kids had a bottle of rum for me to, so because I cant drive with the flu, I am stuck with
red wine and cans of beer, so that really ruined my week. but I think the sister is coming today. ARMEN.

well hi Peter, I told a story on the men's shed I don't know if you seen it so I will tell it again, My wife and I were camped at a dam near Petrie, for the weekend, a 4 wheel drive turned up with what looked like a gray bath tub on top. 3 men got out they got the tub down and sat it on 3 towels. then they got 2 wings off the top of the 4wheeler, they got fitted on the tub, then a tail and small wings came out of the back and was fitted to the rear end, then out come this box and it was fitted to the front and a prop was fitted to it, 2 vary small chairs went in the top. it had one wheel on the nose part, they picked it up by the back and pushed it to the boat ramp, they pushed it in to the water and the oldest man got in the motor started, and he went down to the 4 wheeler was they tipped a bit moor petrol in it. the other feller got in and away they went to the end of the dam, they turned around and away they went. they took off half way down the dam. they flew around the dam all morning. other people turned up all morning. well it was hard to believe you could get a wooden bath tub to fly with 2 people in it. Dambuster41.

 God created heaven and earth, and then he created lam chops, Yes LAM CHOPS. And he gave them to ALDI to sell to the people on earth. Well if you have not tried them now is your chance. go to the fridge department and look for a box with lam shanks on it. there is 2 shanks in each box, We buy 2 boxes because I can eat two. the wife only eats 1. we have a corn cob with them, and a nice glass of red wine with them. So if you have not tried them go now to ALDI, its worth it. Dambuster41.

Hi there MADAMETAROT, Well have you made a time capsule yet, if you do make one don't go burying it just put it some wear safe and you hand it down to your grand kids, or your son or daughter. make shore you right on it when to open it. glue the lid with super glue and a screw or two don't go a miss neither, I have been collecting a few things over the last couple of months, I think a new one is on the books. Its a good hobby for silly old men, gives you something to think about. TRY IT FELLERS. Dambuster41.

 well there is a lot of killings going on in the world, every night there more last a kid with a hatchet and a knife, also others being stabbed with a knife, every night there's another one. I went close to killing a young aboriginal boy once. I went through a gate and left it open sow I could muster the sheep and take them straight to the sheering shed, I was in the stations land rover, when I came back the gate was closed and wired up, I seen the young station hand down the fence a 1/4 mile, I headed straight for him in the land rover, maybe doing 40 or 50 k. I was about 30yards away from him I realized what I was doing and slammed the brakes on. I stopped about 1 car length away from him, I got out and I was going to flatten him, instead I took the plies off him and through them down the paddock. I got back in the l/rover and drove it through the gate, I went to the bunk house got my belongs and walked off, I never went back. SO IT WAS CLOSE, Dambuster41.

Maybe you should start another thread of your own - Life and Times of Dambuster II, to continue your stories. Just a thought, Peter. |

Thanks for the Birthday wishes Epic yes you can organize a meetup, at your RSL if you like. It would be good if some more old codgers make an effort to get there too. For me, the best thing to come out of poor old SOL is our face to face meetups. |

 Well hears one of interest, we had tea about 3 nights ago, and we heard the cat, our black. out side the door making a meow noise. she only made a moise when she has caught something, like a gecko or a lizard. I got up and went to the door, and she was on the door mat with a 3ft red belly black snake in front of her. It was dead she had killed it. this is the second snake she has caught this year. the other one was a green tree snake. SO BE CAREFUL EVERY BODY. Dambuster41.
