Today....


I saw this http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4050/4703673738_5558db24e4_m.jpg ( tiny black spec ) in sky


So, I stopped & took this photo.....


It turned out to be a cage/cable car carrying two workers upward at about a 40 degree angle.


Right to the top of the Crystal Palace Transmitter ( and back ) for 20 minutes of maintenance


All this suspended by a single cable 719 ft above the ground



Who the f*ck does that for a job


( nice view though )



W**F




Wow - how scary is that! Rather them than me, thats for sure....


I will never again moan about my working hazards which consist of not being obsequious enough and risking furious glances for not placing my non-reusable coffee cup in the correct recycling bin.

Haha, people who get all anal about sorting recycling crack me up, when it gets to the dump

they tip all the carefully sorted stuff into one pile and then bulldoze it into a corner, I've seen them doing it at the dump in camberwell!

    • Our cat Suki has gone missing from Keston Road near Goose Green. Please let us know if you see her anywhere or can check your sheds and gardens. You can contact us me on 07980308743 or [email protected].  Thanks Chris
    • Our car was stolen from in front of our house on Scutari Rd, SE22 last night. Black S Max If anyone sees it around please get in touch. I'm currently on phone to police and insurers. Mark - 07793591921
    • Honestly, the squirrels are not a problem now.  They only eat what has dropped.  The feeders I have are squirrel proof anyway from pre-cage times.  I have never seen rats in the garden, and even when I didn't have the cage.  I most certainly would have noticed them.  I do have a little family of mice which I have zero problem about.  If they stay outside, that's fine with me.  Plus, local cats keep that population down.  There are rats everywhere in London, there is plenty of food rubbish out in the street to keep them happy.  So, I guess you could fit extra bars to the cage if you wanted to, but then you run the risk of the birds not getting in.  They like to be able to fly in and out easily, which they do.   
    • Ahh, the old "it's only three days" chestnut.  I do hope you realise the big metal walls, stages, tents, toilets, lighting, sound equipment, refreshments, concessions etc don't just magically appear & disappear overnight? You know it all has to be transported in & erected, constructed? And that when stuff is constructed, like on a construction site, it's quite noisy & distracting? Banging, crashing, shouting, heavy plant moving around - beep beep beep reversing signals, engines revving - pneumatic tools? For 8 to 10 hours a day, every day? And that it tends to go on for two or three weeks before an event, and a week after when they take it all down again? I'm sure my boys' GCSE prep won't be affected by any of that, especially if we close the windows (before someone suggests that as a resolution). I'm sure it won't affect anyone at the Harris schools either, actually taking their exams with that background noise.
