Gaz Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Now I'm no engineer, but there are a few rumours whirring around that after that photo's come out there's no way that it'll be reopening any time within the next few months - if ever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadgerTheBadger Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 All these Fife fuckers in the work that always expect to get away early when the bridge is closed better not be expecting the same perks for the next umpteen weeks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Personally I couldn't give a f**k about the bridge being closed, it means the roads in the area in the morning isn't full of lemmings. The seethe it induces in people is highly amusing, some of the patter needs a bit of work however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Try telling the Fifer's that! A local place for local people I like the way they've described it to the media as a 2cm crack. Aye, 2cm wide and a foot long! I've shagged worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boghead ranter Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 After reading some comments on this thread I feel I need to point out that Fife isn't an island What, even Burntisland? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Yeah that looks more than a lash it up with a mig welder and an old bit of steel job. How the f**k has the east of scotland managed to break a suspension bridge it's built to last for at least 100 years and if this doesn't f**k it the cables will go soon enough. We don't deserve a bridge we can sit and reflect on our actions until the new one opens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 What, even Burntisland? We don't play by the rules in Fife, even our islands are Inches. A greeny to the first person to state how many inches there are in the Forth and to name them obviously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpetmonster Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 After reading some comments on this thread I feel I need to point out that Fife isn't an island Not physically, although I'm sure Dunfermline's twin town is the Pitcairns. On a paucity of gene puddle level at any rate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojito Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I heard the March rumour on Friday. If it is March, it will be absolute carnage. Going to work from home tomorrow and see how the test run of the new plans go. Might make it into Glasgow this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 If I was in charge of repairs I'd stick some caulk and grey paint on it then go and get pissed. The new bridge is nearly ready anyway - just needs the road bit slung over it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new bridge is nearly ready anyway - just needs the road bit slung over it. In truth the chances of a 'Tay Bridge' equivalent in the next year are vanishingly small and this is likely the best, most pragmatic answer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 You mean you're not in charge? Who the f**k is then? Me, but I'm fucked if I can come up with much. I did suggest we have a competition for the best ideas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Skidmarks Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Me, but I'm fucked if I can come up with much. I did suggest we have a competition for the best ideas. Just get them to drive over the Forth Rail Bridge and follow the tracks, it takes you right into the centre of town and avoids the traffic. Do I win £5? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Walsh is often on Phil Williams show on Radio5Live he is a below par DIY 'expert' *cough I reckon that some of his ramblings would be better than the Scottish government could come up with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
