I’m enjoying this. I never thought I’d be pressing F5 for a view of some metal getting lifted into the air.

The Chinese would have this done in 20 mins

 

[HorsePills]

What they should have done is just used magnets to float it up.

 

[artful splodger]

Just had a walk down via the old cobbled wagonway behind the SOL, decent view point, a few watching the proceedings & a fella painting it, it's not moved in the last hour, the banks men on the South side & the 2 in the boat must be bored shitless

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

Think they're unloading some water ballast from the barge. Must be about to go.

6 beers and all that water gushing out, you must have a bladder of steel unless you've used the facilities (bushes).
