Default How to lift plasterboard?

Can anyone recommend the best way for one person to lift
and hold the sheets (8 feet x 4 feet) in place while the
other person screws them to the joists?

The sheets are a bit heavy for one person to hold for any
length of time. Also I don't want them to buckle or break.

Is there a website somewhere with pictures of how lift and
hold them in place? Any suggestions or tips welcome.

I noticed Aldi had some props for plasterboard for about £6.
