Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"?

The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

Yes that was the highest tower crane in Ireland for awhile and the kavanagh ltm 1200 was on the bridge there for months moving further and further out as the deck sections were lifted into place.

Mark Its a beautiful bridge  Heres a link to the bridges website during the construction: http://www.waterfordcity.ie/n25bypass/bridge.htmIt has been given a few nick names by the locals, those from Waterford call it the "Cat Flap" as Kilkenny is on the east side and their hurling team is nick named the "Cats". Those on the Kilkenny side refer to it as the "Liam McCarthy Bypass" but now thats its open Liam will be arriving in style this year come on the Diese Speaking of high tower cranes I took these when I was in Barcelona last September at the Sagra de Familia. Really recommend going to see it, especially at night when its lit up:  
Engineering; Its all STRESS and not just Force over Area!
