Time in the workshop

Judging from the posts, there is strong evidence to support the findings that we mere males are not well equipped to handle more than one undertaking at a time, especially when we have to concentrate.

Unlike our delightful ladies who are well able to multi-task, and who think it strange that we find it so difficult.

If women are so good at multi-tasking as they love to say, then why can't they do sex AND headache at the same time ?

Oh John!

This is the wrong place to ask that question – why don't you ask your wife?

Leaving aside cEKs John, I’m sure you will agree that a genuine headache can hardly be classified as a task.

If, on the other hand, the headache is an invention, then surely it has a place within this forum?

However, in order for `a headache' to be convincing, the owner will need to kindle a rudimentary level of multi-tasking.

I have a rummage sale stereo in the shed that I hook up to the iPod and listen to a bit of everything from Deep Purple to Dave Brubeck, depending on the mood and task of the day. Mostly I play it when the neighbourhood dogs are barking and enjoy the silence otherwise.

Now I like me music, and will nearly always listen to Radio 2. If I am going to have a short (ish) session I will have one of my 50's valve sets going or if I am going for a prolonged workshop workout I will use my Armstrong tuner amp (valve of course) which drives a pair of studio Jamo speakers – and sounds superb.

I used to listen to the radio but have grown tired of the program format on just about every station and as i listen to it in the truck all week the last thing i want is to listen to a replay of the crappy jokes from the morning show all day .

I bought a transmitter / receiver unit for the TV that sends my foxtel to the shed and usually have it going as i record a lot of shows during the week and i would rather listen to a decent history show or maybe the V8 supercars than a replay of last weeks radio jokes .

Time team is a favourite along with anything to do with fishing , trains, planes , cars , bikes ,steam engines , science and how thing are made .

I usually only listen but make a mental note of anything interesting and can go back and replay anything of interest .

If i wish i can also play a dvd etc and i have a few from swarfrat , jfr etc that i enjoy .

When all else fails there is always star trek

Depending on the time of day I either have local Jack FM, radio 2 or 6 music on. As my stereo has a 7" TV occasionlly I have that on if there is something I want to see, but it depends on what I am doing at the time. While I do have an iPod in the workshop I find I listen to the radio more.

Back in the 1960's, there was a police vehicle maintenance workshop next to the police station at Lewisham, South London where the workshop manager had installed a massive fairground organ and somehow integrated it into the fabric of the building. How he ever got the requisite permissions I shall never know but this beauty gave forth all day every day. Fantastic. I would love to know what happened to it but given the record of public works contractors I fear the worst.

Radio 4 target audiance is not 18 – 24 year olds, thats why so many engineers listen to it!

I prefer total silence so that I can fully apreciate the harrowing noises which come from my ml7 when parting off!!
