On the subject of odd object lifting I had a new boiler installed last week - the old one was left in the driveway by the gas engineer, who was going to come back and pick it up the next day. It was a bit of an eyesore so I decided to move it. It was at least 90kg and awkward like nobodies business. I was kind of sad when they came to collect it, as it would have been a good odd object to play around with and lift.
It did have a lot of asbestos in though...so probably better they took it away before I did myself some mischief.
