Widge Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Well that didn't take long, new build commuter found [emoji4] Well see you'd be completely correct other than the fact I rarely drive to work and live and work in the centre of Edinburgh. So actually you're totally wrong in every sense. Try again? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) Was googling Forth Bridge crash and found this... http://www.hmslowestoft.co.uk/bridge.htm When the road bridge was opened there was some warship display. Unfortunately it was foggy and a couple of them banged into each other (not sure of natical term). Didn't sink though. A wee unexpected holiday in Rosyth resulted for the crew.

Next time, get off the fucking road before you come to a complete standstill, you c**t. Anyone else wish to idly speculate on the appropriate sanction for today's hapless lorry driver? I'm thinking stick him in jail for an aggregate of all the additional time he's cost innocent travellers to get to their destination today. He can have two and a half hours for me. The dozy twonk. All you do-gooders never get it right do you? String the him up by the balls, let him think about it for a couple of weeks, then shoot the fucker. It's the only kind of language that Johnny Foreigner understands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly sure that I read something about the opening ceremony where there was a fly past by some RAF bombers/fighters and in a Top Gun-esque "request permission to buzz the tower" they ignored their orders and flew underneath it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you getting Johnny Foreigner from? It's a Curries European lorry - they're Dumfries based so the chances are he's not even English, just a home grown numpty. I would seriously doubt he'll ever make a living driving lorries again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I was driving back late-ish at night when it was closed to HGVs last winter after the strut broke, and several full-size articulated lorries were blithely ignoring mile and mile of signs and stern warnings. If it's not sufficiently policed or deterred situations like today will happen. There is a nice wee museum about the bridges at South Queensferry and it has a big plan showing the Fleet Review, IIRC. I think spectators on shore hardly saw anything. Footage of the bridge opening in here: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Can they not put in an automatic camera that fines the lorry company an obscene amount? Pretty sure it's the daft schedules forced on the drivers that make them take risks rather than them being total idiots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Lucky guy, that's a straight drop into the Forth below. Also that doesn't look like a five min repair job. Weeks worth of disruption probably. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Of course he is foreign - No Scottish driver would ever go driving a lorry where and when he shouldn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, tongue in cheek or not, the driver was foreign. Not that it makes one note of difference where he's from, the tit drove across the bridge when it was closed to high sided vehicles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
