Uncle Ted

I recently posted the following on Blogg's Blog as part of my work for the RNLI Henry Blogg Lifeboat Museum here in Cromer. As that blog is only really intended for the volunteers and staff of the museum I thought it would be a good idea to post it here so my regular readers could see it as well.

When we were putting this blog together one of the first ideas we had was to ask you if you could submit photos for an online gallery designed to coincide with our 1950’s Fashion Exhibition.

So I set about looking through the various photos I had, hoping I could find some shots of my family in the 50’s, and while I found countless old photos of Mum, Dad and various other relatives from around that time I wasn’t sure if they were from the 50’s, and I couldn’t ask the people who would know because they were no longer around.

There was only one photo I was entirely sure about.

Progress Chapter 11: To Fight War, You Must Become War - DVD Review

It's been a while since The Two Sheds Review has been seen online. Other commitments, some welcome, some unwelcome, as well as sheer tiredness have kept me away from watching an industry I've been following for most of my near 43 years on this planet.

But with my schedule about to become a little more settled it's time to jump right back in, and there's no better place to re-start than in the world of Progress, the hottest ticket in Britain at the moment, as we take a look at the DVD release of Chapter Eleven: To Fight War, You Must Become War.

Sorry For The Lack Of Updates.....

A quick note to say sorry for the lack of updates in the past week or so. I've been put on the British government's new Community Work Placement programme. If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook you'll know that it's all about, and of all the trouble I've had to put up with. It means that my time is somewhat limited at the moment, and I've been too tired to watch any wrestling or MMA. Hopefully once my work placement is sorted and I won't have to spend nearly three hours a day either travelling or waiting for buses I'll be able to get up and running again.

So all I can say for now is stay tuned!

This first review comes from a man who was recently described as an A+ player by the powers that be after he recently regained the gold. Yep, you guessed it, our first subject is none other than John Cena.
