We used to play a game in our bikeshed at school called Space Invaders.
It was quite a big bikeshed, approximately 60 feet long, and the game
would comprise of the "invaders" side-stepping along the long edge of
the bikeshed while someone kicked a football at them as hard as it is
possible for a ten year old boy to manage - I'd forgotten all about it
until now.

That bikeshed was grey, with the odd bloodstain; my favourite ;)
