The heavy mob

The heavy brigade moved on site today, along with some heavy looking stuff for the college extension. Our site manager found me, she in quite a state of excitement, to make sure I got some shots of the arrival of the girders, or could they be joists. The governor is making sure I keep a photographic record of developments - and I have to say they do seem rather slow. The musician said it was a bit like Wagner - you have to build it all up very slowly.

And the joke? The labourer was interviewed for a job on site. 'What's the difference between a joist and a girder?' 'Now, let me see - Joyce wrote Ulysses and Goethe wrote Faust'. Of course, it only works when spoken. (I prefer Elective Affinities.)
