If your dog is barking at the back door and your wife is yelling at the front door, who do you let in first?
> The dog, of course. He'll shut up once you let him in.

Great sight, saw it from RHYC 'marina'.

Bet there were some sore heads on Sunday morning!

(anal mode) Barges have a 'topping lift' attached to each spreader which allows the spreaders to be lifted when lying alongside each other (or any other structure which might cause problems as the barge rolls) (/anal mode) (sorry if you already knew this!)
