The fact that as I am getting older I occasionally stagger on a flat floor???

 

What intrigued me though was, How the &*&*& he got up there?

 

i thought that it might be staged with the roof panels lying flat on the floor .

suspect you may be right, the angles are well worked to dispel that.

Balancing is possible  but getting there ???

I still aspire to be a grown-up in my twenties.  Would know not to waste money on a pension that has lost more cash than I ever put in.  How can that happen.

And bumped into this video - Fred Dibnah. Scroll forward to 6:51 if you can bear it.

 

Ian, I half wish you wouldn't do this. 

 

The problem is that when I click on on of these links I end up watching the next 3 or 4 entranced -- and then the next time I log onto YouTube, half my recommends are videos about Fred or demolishing chimneys.  Characters like him are gems and I still think of him fondly even though he's been in the ground for over a decade, but in return I will give you a monologue from another such character  which I first read in a John Julius Norwich anthology from Blaster Bates: The Shower of Shit over Cheshire or the YouTube soundtrack version.

I found Dibnah just an annoying northerner.  So can happily ignore these links

As opposed to an annoying southerner now living in Devon, or is it Cornwall?

I can claim some decent Basque bloodline, with a bit of Turkish thrown in for good measures.

So I fit in quite nicely here
