The Shed 2

I've written a wee song about the Independence referendum.
You could call it "therapy" I suppose?

But I've called it "Sadness and pride".


cheers

a reply to: Gordi The Drummer

Gordy, That is a great rendition!! I'm with Night, Love Your Accent too!!

Oh, Good Morning To You and ALL the Others Here!!! Hope Ya All have a Great Day!!!

You really rock an acoustic guitar man...

Regarding the content, if the only thing that comes of this, is that people both sides of the border remember that unity with the UK is not unity with Westminster, but with its people as a whole, then at least that will be beneficial to the cause of getting the whole nation cleaned up.

Have a few of these: because there will soon be much work to do to ensure that the changes that need making in Westminster and Whitehall, actually come about.

You should post that as a thread and let the whole of ATS see it.

Gordy, that is a great song. The count was so close which says there is still so much work to do to find the right answer for Scotland, but well done Scotland on a peaceful referendum with a hugely impressive turnout.

Reply to Night - yes I have a very talented husband but the pic I posted was tongue in cheek - he didn't really build our worms a castle like playhouse, but he did put a huge amount of work into a project he has no responsibility for. And while I am at it - a big happy birthday to your mum.

And to all my shed friends - have a very happy weekend. Here is the forecast:-

Cody Thanx! I messed with it some too earlier and cropped some off top, and it did fit better, well where it was just recently. BUT, how do I make it so it and only it shows? I had it up as a background, and it was kool, with no other image in front of it. But when messin around some more, I couldn't get it back to how it should've been, ya know, just it as the main and background I guess. It does fit better, but can't get it to show all by itself?
I had at one time, a blank image, clear, that I could have prob used in front of the blue dragon as a back.....
LOL, should've left well enough alone I guess. Oh it was just up as foreground image, with a black BG. Thanx, Syx.

EDIT: The Chinese Dragon on here now is a copy of a sticker I have here at home. He's kool......

It's a lot simpler than it sounds

Basically upload the clear gif as an avatar and the avatar you want as your mini background


Cody

So... It's been a bright, sunny day here in Essex.

And all of a sudden, the sky started to explode! THUNDA!

a reply to: cody599

Kool Bud! Like I mentioned though, I DID have a clear image for that, but is gone? But oh wait, I believe Gordy loaded one here a few pages back. I will find it and use that.
Thanx Bud! I appreciate yer time and help!!! Laterz, Mike.

a reply to: TrueBrit

It's my Treat True! I was flying over your area earlier and must have dragged that storm in behind me! LOL!!! Enjoy!

( I know I love ThunderStorms!!!)

a reply to: SyxPak

This is what I mean...



Thanks for that bud!

Oh and also...

@Jacy, Mura, CC(?) and Jane! It was nice seeing you Flit-Poof through here recently, however briefly! Same for those whom I am forgetting to mention.
Hope all is well in Your Worlds!!!!

a reply to: TrueBrit

Yes True! Radical Chit!! Frak Yah!!! LOL!!!!

a reply to: Mura44

Thanks for the Birthday wishes for Mom! Loved the piggy pic! LOL

a reply to: TrueBrit

True, you would love the thunderstorms we get around here. Some storms have had thunder so loud you'd swear the sky was going to fall. LOL And lightening lighting up the whole night sky like it's day. I was surprised you didn't post ACDC playing Thunder struck!

So did everyone see our half nekkid True in the video? I'd whistle, but I don't want anyone to think I'm some crazed cooger or something. Hahaha!

And Syx, you're getting multiple personality disorder with changing your avatars so often. LOL

Hi Cody! How are the kids doing these days??

a reply to: Night Star
Good morning Night Star!

Its funny you mention thunderstruck because just before I took the first video, I had been sitting there watching the storm, while listening to Thunderstruck played by 2Cellos which is a duo of fellows who unsurprisingly covered the song on cello. It's very good, and it freaked my neighbours out.
Oh, and my sincerest apologies to those of a nervous or squeamish disposition, regards the amount of flesh in the second vid.

I probably should have warned everyone about the release of the belly monster from its fabric restraints!

With regard to the storm itself, we actually had a thirty second blackout, which of course, temporarily severed my internet connection, so I was determined that the moment the power came back on, I would just post the videos I had shot, and get back to watching the thing happen! It was one of the most high frequency, lightning creating storms that we have had here for some time, with as few as fifteen seconds between some of the most intense flashes at its peak. You would be hearing the passage of the last blast of energy, as you witness the next one. It got pretty damned close at one point, you would see the flash, be about to count to one, and then hear the bang!

It was a very foggy night as well, which meant that every bolt lit the entire sky for its duration, illuminating the haze, in the same way as some methods of holographic projection involve illuminating a dense gas made up of highly reflective particles. I was sat out on my balcony, watching the storm from my Union flag camping chair for hours, and a few of my neighbours got a fright when they came up the stairs, and saw me lit up by lightning, grinning like a maniac, occasionally laughing like a mad professor!

Legendary good fun. The awesome majesty and fury of the natural world is always something I have enjoyed baring witness to.

Ah, nothing like a majestic thunderstorm. Great time to write some spooky story or read ghost stories too. That's if the power doesn't go out on you. LOL

One of the scariest storm moments of my life was when we were at an outdoor concert and all of a sudden there was thunder and lightening. Marylan Manson was playing. We were sitting on metal bleachers. I was like...um shouldn't we leave now?

Poor Mark got sick today while at his Doctor's visit and got sick just before getting blood work across the hall. His Doctor gave him something for the dizziness. I'm praying that works, otherwise it's off to see yet another specialist.

Wow, I better get my butt to bed. Goodnight all!
