.so the new dock had to take them,,were do i get my information from,,the WILD ROSE witherspoon's my drinking companions have 506 years experience between them most. ex alter and choir boys, boss poses,male models, ex sea captains/ royal marines/ s. a.s.veterans/ timberskins,/dockers, lady killers, not one fibber or comb between them but some still wear the demob suits on sundays mondays, back in the pawn shop, were all in gods waiting room
talking about lifts or cranes,it doesn't matter what race or religion you are on this earth/ when you die you go in a big lift/ and no one gets to press the button to, go up down or limbo
R,I.P MOHAMED ALLY what a mans man he was, yes he was the greatest hes gone up in that lift
Only Ali said he was the greatest and not me but in my opinion it has to be Rocky Marciano who fought 49 fights and won 49 fights and let his gloves do the talking not his mouth

Berthing and marine trials have started at Liverpool 2, the delayed £300m container terminal in the Mersey which was due to open in December 2015.
The first ship, MV MSC Nederland, visited the Peel Ports facility last week and will be followed by a variety of cargo handling tests throughout July and August. The testing is being done by Mediterranean Shipping Company.
As well as 3,007-container capacity MV MSC Nederland, four other MSC vessels will be used during the trials, MV MSC Santhya, MV MSC Koroni, MV MSC Sandra and MV MSC Alyssa.

Love looking at these cranes when they are all lit up at night in the distance. It's like looking at the horizon of a Sci-Fi movie.
More lights please...

I often have my dinner near those cranes in my wagon when delivering forklift trucks to the likes of Stanton Grove.
I see some great boats on the river, bonus of my job I see the good and slightly not so good sights of our fair isle

Here is a picture of them taken outside the Nova Centre in Prestatyn. Hope you can see them, they were very clear by the naked eye.
