They also have a good Cab Merlot, a Shiraz &, if there is nothing else left, they have a very good unwooded chard. (see 8.3.7, or you can always say you bought it to impress a shiela. ;) )

OK - it's time to issue an update of The Code.
In another thread (see: https://www.woodworkforums.com/showthread.php?p=448153) Dennis Millard posted a very good poem about sheds and woodworking. It was so good, in fact, that it really should be included within The Code. Anyway, Dennis has kindly given his permission and so "History In The Shed" is now Appendix D.
On a completely unrelated subject, it has been troubling the present writer for some while that DanP, that worthy walloper from country Victoria, saw it as an issue that the expression "life partner" was used to some extent throughout early versions of The Code. He felt - quite strongly - that the correct expression should be SWMBO. On lengthy consideration I have come to the conclusion that DanP is correct. SWMBO is the term of choice on these venerable forums so SWMBO it should be in The Code. The required changes have been made. Thanks, Dan. :)
The Drafting Committee has also taken the opportunity to make some necessary changes to various inaccurate cross-references throughout the text and to correct a couple of typos and one piece of inaccurate grammar.
If anyone spots any other errors they can either post a reference to the offending passage or elect to keep it to themselves. No prizes for spotting the cock-ups, just that warm glow of self-righteousness and the knowledge that you have been appropriately recognised by your peers. (Smart@rse!)

Is the Domino mentioned the code? It shoud be, when you consider over 17,000 have already viewed just one thread "Festoop Domino Experience...." :?
If, Brother Lignum, you feel moved to pen a suggested amendment to The Code that specifically mentions the Domino and this meets the approval of the Drafting Committee (see page 29 of the latest updated version of The Code), the Domino may find itself achieving a mention. :wink:Quote:

See http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ad.php?t=19202 .While not a requirment of a shed being a shed, that said blokes may proudly grunt and point towards the sticker, thus gaining recognition in their endevours from their neighbour or peer as being a bloke with a shed?
Fantastic document Driver:2tsup:
It should be taught in schools

thank you all
thanx all for writing such a great document:2tsup:
Following some recent correspondence on the vexed question of whether or not a bloke should loan tools to another bloke or blokes, our septic mate, Honorary Bloke, suggested that The Code needed to cover this important and potentially touchy subject. Accordingly, The Code has been updated to include a new section (para 6.5: Borrowing and lending tools - a touchy subject).
Honorary Bloke has been added to the list of Drafting Committee members on page 30. (Thanks for the input, Bob :D )
As is customary with Code updates, changes to the text have been highlighted in yellow.
Blokes are advised to familiarise themselves with the updates so as to avoid potential Code violations.
Dontha reckon the C of P has got so big its become THE rule book? :rolleyes:
Yet the Code prohibits reading any instructions. :2tsup:
So is the Code gunna fly away with the Woop Woop Bird? :D
Read it again, mate. It's not a manual. It's The Code.Quote:

If you want to make The Code fly away from your shed, that's your choice.
However:

Para 5 The Shed
"If a bloke chooses to ignore this guidance, well, he has that right but it would be a foolish bloke who knowingly transgresses The Code and commits a violation."

Naturally my instinctive blokelyness did not allow me to actually read the whole code (i did however skim parts here and there).
Now! There did not appear to be any mention of curtains. Obviously curtains would NOT allowed even under threat of complete withdrawl of conjiguls curtains would not be allowed but can an exemption could be granted in this case.
The sun, in the afternoon is glaring in through the one window I have in my shed, making visibility quite difficult at my workbench. As i see it my options are:
1. Knock off for the day and have a beer
2. Go to the pub.
3. Nail a couple of hessian wheat bags to the framing above the window as a temporary measure.
Also if i go with 3. should I use flat head nails or bullet heads but only nailed halfway in and then bent over to stop the bags sliding off.
I've got the same problem in my office (which is in the back of the shed). I got an old drawer and stuck it up on the inside of the window. Problem solved in a half-arsed blokely way :wink:
