mac.i Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 23 hours ago, 101 said: Thanks yeh it was a bit of crossed wires one conductor said it was wee shites running about in the tunnels between Waverly and Haymarket and another said there was a body on the track but obviously neither were true. The staff did the best last night but it was completely haphazard. Yeah, unfortunately that's the nature of the beast early on in these type of incidents. Once the emergency services require the power off it takes out huge areas. If there's time it's possible to be more precise but if there is threat to life that's out the window.....The wires give a bit more than a tingle at 25kV....... Getting the person help takes priority and sometimes early reports can be inaccurate which is why you can get different stories. Train company staff will always be doing their best to get folks on the move however they can whilst Network Rail and the emergency services are dealing with the incident. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SANTAN Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Just wanted to say, I had a charity bet with @Cardle is Magicand had reposted it a few times thinking he was laying low but the big man did pull through in the end and private messaged me the screenshot of the dono. Got to say publically that is top tier behaviour. Credit where it's due. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paying out on a bet is not top tier behaviour, it's bare minimum behaviour. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I notice that Celtic have an English feeder team called West Allotment Celtic, at least they'll have something to lift at the end of the season.

HOMEPAGE | website (westallotmentcelticfc.co.uk) I've been to their old ground at Northumberland FA HQ. They got papped out, unable to pay the rent there. Homeless for a while but moved in to a new ground this season. Very nice people with absolutely no interest in other teams called Celtic or their origins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I've never been a fan of Jeremy Clarkson (I've never been not a fan either), as I'm totally uninterested in motor cars and never watched Top Gear, or any other programme he was in, as far as I remember. However, granddaughter nr 5 was down for a visit and stuck on Clarkson's Farm, a series about a year on his farm. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It also gave Clarkson a chance to drive massive agricultural machines which he thoroughly enjoyed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fan of Top Gear, not a fan of Clarkson, but this series seems to be very different for them. best show I've seen all year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 It essentially is just Top Gear but for farming instead of cars. Exact same writing, same type of predictable comedy, it's just that the people in the show are a lot more likeable than James May or Richard Hammond (and I say that as someone who quite likes James May). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Joe Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) Can't stand Clarkson. I used to enjoy Who wants to be a Millionaire, but making that racist fud the host has made it a no go.

Melanius Mullarkey Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Clarkson is a bigot, Hammond is a talentless gimp, James May is a boring b*****d who tries to make himself more interesting with his "trendy" shirts. f**k 'em. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Japanese thing put me off James May a bit, so up his own arse and smirking at the funny Japanese customs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
