He must be extremely fit, the guys from Adelaide would know the 75m tall lights at the cricket ground. Two of us from work had to climb one of them (up the in built ladders through the centre of course) to change a camera that keeps track of the progress of the works there and that climb itself take it out of you

I have a horrible fear of heights. I measured my pulse at the end of watching that and it was 138bpm...thanks for the workout.

Here are a couple of videos off Youtube that have become very popular of late, make sure to watch them in order to see what is going on.

This poor kid copped a fair bashing over Youtube about making these videos when he was just doing something he enjoyed
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm_n3hg-Gbg

Then a certain celebrity got on board and made this video with him, unreal!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm_n3hg-Gbg

The music may not be great but I reckon its a great story, a lot of respect for the young fella.

Todd.

While the basic Ford Six was code named Barra, the Turbo version clearly deserved its very own moniker – again enter Gordon Barfield.
We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about.
“Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”.

I don't get it... if he had to deliver a mattress, why not use a Ute? And why so much of a rush?
