A Chelsea Pensioner playing conkers at the World Championships in Southwick today, watched by a couple of large leprechauns.

You don’t see this happening every day!

And over in West Brompton is what looks like the world championships of Top Trumps for cranes. The red one is massive, I was wondering how the hell it got there, I'm pretty sure it was'nt on the back of the lorry on the left, that looks toy size in comparison. I'm guessing it comes apart in sections and was built on site.

EDIT: just googled it, It was made by a company called ALE ^_^and it took 6 weeks to build using 2 other cranes, has a lift capacity of 4300 tonnes, at 120m high is twice the height of Nelson's column and has a ground space or approx 2 football pitches:eek:.It is being used to lift the beams which supported the weight of the Earls Court exhibition centre above the London Underground lines, the largest of which is called 'Big Bertha' and weighs 1500 tonnes. They plan to build an 8000 home development on the site, a new High St and a 5 acre park. Blimey.

Our Thomas has been teaching "baby Sam" some manners this evening :smile: about time!
Sam wrestled Thomas off the back of "his" armchair (big mistake)!
Sam was firmly put in his place by the mild mannered big guy :wub: who reclaimed his spot.
Sam is quite mouthy and aggressive which is quite common in hand reared kittens, so not his fault.
Mr M says Thomas is "large and in charge". :okay: Sam agrees. :smile:
