  Ooh...I want that hanging sign!
Posted by rainman8889 8/3/2005 12:29 AM | remove
  I call dibs on the light fixture. Assuming it's not already snagged or scrapped.
Posted by SnakeCorp 8/3/2005 2:35 PM | remove
  I'll have the doors, windows. walls and, oh, that hanging basket as well.

  WOW! The demolition crews would just love us! They could sit back and let us do the bulk of the work!

  I'm inclined to go down there and rifle through the skips late at night when they start demolishing the place.

  'Rifle thru the skips'--what are skips? Hey, if you see that sign will you pick it up for me? Oh, and the light for rainmann, & everything else for SC...

  Skips = big metal containers for waste.

  Ah, dumpsters! Thanks!

  Evil Americanizations.

  Oh, come one now.... Everything about America isnt evil, is it?

  Well dumpster describes what it is.
...
Skip off to the skip young skipper.

  The good thing about a skip of course, is that you can do a lot with it.

Oh wait... No you can't.

There are a few key changes, such as them not being the same.

  Does the US even have skips, in the (wonderful) British sense? Oh, and America is the root of all evil.

  Imagine this one blue, and that's our garbage dumpster.

  As for us having skips, not really, but we do have bigger dumpsters.

The latch at the front is for loading onto a truck.

  Your large waste containers are far superior to our crude ones.
Posted by TurboZutek 8/5/2005 9:03 PM | remove
  Crude? Nah, we have them too. They are a lorry loaded Sitex skip.

Expensive to rent... There is one sitting at Bangour as we speak, full of hospital stuff.

/Now it's less full
Posted by lost 8/5/2005 9:39 PM | remove
  Aw, Bangour as in the hospital? That's somewhere I wanted to explore eventually. I have to say I hardly ever see those kind of skips.
Posted by TurboZutek 8/5/2005 10:33 PM | remove
  Well you are right outta luck matey.

Security there is killer... As we found out one night, staring down the barrel of a loaded Doberman!!
Posted by lost 8/5/2005 10:37 PM | remove
  :-D Is that just the once or have you tried a few times?
Posted by TurboZutek 8/5/2005 11:05 PM | remove
  A few times; The place is like fort-nox... Seccers, IR CCTV, Doogs!!

  All that for one abandoned hospital and buildings they're probably going to demolish anyway? Craziness.
Posted by purplegrum 8/6/2005 11:00 PM | remove
  Would a can of pedigree chum help?

Posted by TurboZutek 8/7/2005 12:22 AM | remove
  No, unusually the doogs in question are WELL trained; a nice steak is generally our first approach.

:-D

And they ain't demo'ing a thing, it's all listed.

Posted by lost 8/7/2005 1:40 AM | remove
  Ah yeah you're right, it's A listed... what's happening with it eventually?
Posted by TurboZutek 8/7/2005 9:28 AM | remove
  Guess....?
Posted by IIVQ 8/7/2005 10:38 AM | remove

Posted by TurboZutek 8/7/2005 7:28 PM | remove
  No demo, but yes; luxury flats for luxury twats.
Posted by lost 8/7/2005 8:49 PM | remove
