I'm afraid to say that I find SOTW very cringeworthy these days. I may be wrong but is the concept of "Shed" as a character in the narrative a recentish thing (<12 months). Either way reading things like "Shed met a character in the Ferret & Firkin recently" or "Mrs Shed likes a bit of German barge" etc. annoys me no end.

Might just be me.

I rather like the writing style for articles like this. Yes, the 'Shed-character' is a bit cheesy, but it amuses me.

To be frank, SOTW is just about the only article I read on the whole site.

Fair enough. I always enjoy the article, I just generally skip past the st at the beginning.

Girls on the internet (or boys pretending to be girls on the internet) always bring out two of any forum's biggest morons; the "omfg plz send n00dz" type slavering over them, and the white knights rushing out to protect them.

Christ. It's embarrassing. Have they never met a woman before.

It's bad, but much less worse than I thought it would be, given by how crazy some of the previous female visitors had it/ went after a while.

Outstandingly cringeworthy however. SniffPetrol's TPAIF is worryingly accurate.

Think I'll save this one for Tuesday when I'm back at work - is it as epic as the bodybuilder forum beta/cringe thread?

The Match thread has gone a bit Marge Proops since someone confessed to a bit of a floppy in the face of the enemy.
