from the Sun catch it before you have to pay once it’s behind the shedwall

Beach Hut Resorts at Dukes Walk will feature luxury seafront huts with bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living area to rent from £300 a week.

Being in the north, they also sensibly come with double glazing, full insulation, as well as a host of nifty mod cons from power shower and microwave to hi-fi and wi-fi.

The company plan to open similar huts at coastal locations across the UK.

Beach Hut Resorts’ Alex Miller says: “These could really transform the traditional British seaside holiday by offering affordable, luxury accommodation only metres from the beach.”
Each hut will sleep two to six people and each resort will be attached to an art gallery and have 24-hour security and a concierge service.

Ultimate Big Brother – Craig Phillips shed building task

Posted on August 30th, 2010

I know a lot of you love the Big brother thing but I don’t at all, but this caught my eye on the interwebs news search.

The very first winner of Big Brother, Craig Phillips, has returned to the house as part of a shed building challenge against the Ultimate Big Brother housemates.

Earlier this evening, housemates were told of today’s task, which involved building a shed together in the garden.

The task rules stated that all housemates must take part and “fully contribute”. They were then given special outfits, which included blue overalls and gloves.

You can watch the video over at Channel 4 – tell me if anything interesting happens.

TARDIS lands on MIT building

Posted on August 27th, 2010

According to boston.com

Bill Greene/Globe Staff

MIT pranksters have placed what appears to be a TARDIS — a Time And Relative Dimension(s) in Space time machine from the British sci-fi show Doctor Who — atop the MIT building at 77 Mass. Ave.

Freshmen moving in this morning paused to admire the ingenuity of their mystery peers, who, in an MIT tradition, call themselves “hackers.”

A sign on the front of the TARDIS, which is a blue old-fashioned British police call box, said, “Hacker Telephone — Free for use of hackers.”

Some great photos from Eric Schmiedl as well

thanks to @shotbykim for the heads up

of course if you have TARDIS shed at the bottom of your garden then why not Share it with us over at readersheds.co.uk
