Blimey sunnybob! Do you think the good lady is up to supporting the other side? 
Reminds me a bit of those "klong racers" you see around the "canals" in Bangkok, etc - a dirty great V8 car engine and a huge long prop shaft all stuck onto the back of what looks like a little 10 foot ply pram dinghy! Only problem would be if you fell in the microbes would get you long before the prop chopped you into little bits.

What a waste of wood.
Andy, yes I'm fully confident she would help out. As long as I was strapped to the top of the log that is!
I've had a few trips on the dragon boats in thailand. They should supply ear protection to every passenger.
Have you tried the water taxis in bangkok? They dont even tie up, just lift the prop out the water. people jump off and people jump on and the prop goes back in the water and the boat never stops moving.
Crazy world.

@sunnybob: Yeah, e.g. down to the floating market & back. Great fun (but I was a bit younger then). ;-)

There is a huge "log" of kauri there, and on the wall is the bar from the chainsaw used to cut it - eight feet long, single engined. :shock:

Not so crazy if you're used to it... The hospital I used to work at had one of the few Paternoster lifts still in operation. I used to love it!!sunnybob":27cu33rs said:

Is Paternoster one of those open, continuous belt lift thingies?
If so I went on one once (only once thank God) somewhere in the City of London, can't remember why now. Crazy things.
I presume H&S banned them LONG ago? Just as well - at my age & with my "flexibility" now, there'd be 2 halves of me, bottom half on the ground floor, top half on floor 10!

Yes, as seen in the video... :wink:AES":1ijv8gfx said:
Last I saw, the one at NPH was still in service. They've put those cubicles up around it now, but it's still used by staff.AES":1ijv8gfx said:
They're not banned as such... but they're getting old so break down a lot and generally H&S strongly advise not bothering to fix them....

Yeah, sorry Tasky, I didn't see the video link. Have played it now - I often wondered what happened at the top (and bottom). Now I know.
Apart from H&S I guess the real problem with these must be if some disgruntled employee with the hump gets into the machine room on his last day at work and twists the speed knob to full - just to get his own back.

These are mostly floor sweepers or doctors and nurses. They have trouble finding the ON button for their computers... which, coincidentally, is one of the things I was employed to help them achieve.... I therefore assert that the heftily locked machine room is quite safe!AES":1i9k45sn said:Apart from H&S I guess the real problem with these must be if some disgruntled employee with the hump gets into the machine room on his last day at work and twists the speed knob to full - just to get his own back.

@Tasky, QUOTE: I therefore assert that the heftily locked machine room is quite safe! UNQUOTE:
I'll take your word for it mate! Thankfully our local hospital doesn't have such things. If they did, I certainly wouldn't trust myself on one of them these days. (Mind you I also have trouble finding the ON button on my PC too - don't know what tells you about me - or perhaps I do)

It suggests that you're either exceptionally well-versed in the impacts of Tumour-Necrosis-Factor Alpha on Ankylosing Spondylitis, or that you should stop chinwagging and get back to emptying the bins, before going and scrubbing the toilets...!!AES":1vqkrl3y said:Mind you I also have trouble finding the ON button on my PC too - don't know what tells you about me - or perhaps I do)

I'll vote for the latter. At least I understood that!!! ;-)
