MrPin Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I understood every word. I take it you don't have young children? I don't, but quite a few of my friends do. I can pretty much recite every episode of Bob The Builder too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpewLabour Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 It took longer than I thought before the SNP were getting the blame. Looks like it was...! http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/transport-minister-derek-mackay-accused-6985131 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saving For a Space Ship Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 The fix is "Weather dependant", this could get interesting as to completion time. From my selfish point of view the less cars in Edinburgh the better I like it, people can still travel, just not in their personal Debt-Wagon. nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybong Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 To be fair it sounds like a sneaky way for them to give Scotland a taste of independence. Just joking - I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberNat Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 A damning indictment of the Scottish Labour party regarding a new Forth crossing: "Scottish Labour – having first bitterly opposed a second bridge being built at all and then dragged their heels over it for two entire Parliaments while sitting on a huge pile of unspent money, thereby delaying a new crossing that would otherwise have been fully operational by the time the old one broke down – furiously blame the SNP for the closure and demand an inquiry into how this situation could possibly have arisen." http://wingsoverscotland.com/look-on-down-from-the-bridge/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberNat Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 The Forth Road bridge is to reopen tomorrow to all vehicles except HGV's. Another terrible blow for Sturgeon! http://wingsoverscotland.com/another-blow-for-sturgeon/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porca misèria Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 The Forth Road bridge is to reopen tomorrow to all vehicles except HGV's. So it's the new year in Jockland? Makes sense, I suppose. Let the shortest day mark the passing of the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyberNat Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 This is how the unionist press choose to report the good news of the bridge opening 2 weeks early: SNP/SNP in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pole Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 This is how the unionist press choose to report the good news of the bridge opening 2 weeks early: SNP/SNP in May. I'm not into Scottish politics, but setting superlong deadlines like that, and then completing the job much quicker is a very well known PR practice. The Polish government deployed it when managing a couple of recently built motorways. It always makes the government look good as none of the journos are qualified enough to question the original schedule. I'd love to see a detailed analysis of what miraculous management techniques were deployed to speed up the work so dramatically (compared with the originally planned timetable). Day by day: what work was originally planned and what work actually took place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpewLabour Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Couple of issues highlighted by that article 1) The repairs were completed on time, as the additional time allocated was in case bad weather caused delays, which it didn't. 2) The repairs are temporary. The permanent repairs won't be done until the end Feb. Of course, none of this would have been necessary if the area had been replaced in 2010 but the work was cancelled.

Not a management miracle then? Thought so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
