Men Do You Potter?

[poodicat]

Spend almost a year of their life pottering in sheds from the age 30 to 76,a survey found.One in 10 are hiding from their wife.

The party that introduces pottering rights gets my vote, along with pom-pomming awareness programmes.
You mean to say you don't pom-pom? The tuneless aimless humming thing?

[boxtops]

Mosaic it goes with the aimless singing. I do it quite a bit, apropos of nothing - sudden burst of opera, or my sister got up the other day singing the Teddy Bears' Picnic.

I had a pom-pommer behind me in the queue at Morrisons today, he got right on my t*ts.

[poodicat]

Did he knock you in the knees gran?

Unfortunately my shed is too full of rubbish for me to step inside. In the beer brewing community (of which I'm part of) there are whole features on forums dedicated to people who convert sheds into fully functioning pubs with pumps, bars, the whole shebang.

Our neighbour has a massive shed, he spends hours out there, he's doing OH's shift-year as well as his own. OH wouldn't fit in our shed.

Yes poodi he was right up behind me pompomming!

My OH is not a potterer, he's a lazy so and so, sounds a bit like ummmms ginger.

[boxtops]

There ought to be a law against pomming in public. My first husband always used to pom every time he had to get his wallet out, pommed all over more check-out counters than I care to remember, it was a very strange trait.

[poodicat]

askyourgran dont say, that ummms ginger is the epitomy of hardwork

[poodicat]

Damn it put the comma in the wrong place smacked hand.

[askyourgran]

Tut tut poodi, the punctuation police will be after you.

[poodicat]

You mean ummm

[ummmm]

At least you pressed the space bar....!!!

[cazzz1975]

Hi poodi - it's not just the men who potter. I have spent much time in the shed/garage doing just that over the years. I do my own diy as far as I possibly can and have a good range of tools etc - they cause me all the pottering I do in there! But then again, I see the time spent pottering as having saved me a fortune so it's not all bad news.
