HibeeJibee Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Quelle surprise: those CalMac ferries building in Port Glasgow, now running 6-7 years late and now costing £380m against the original £97m are delayed another 5 months - and need another £24m (plus additional £20m 'contingency funding')... corridors built too narrow + insufficient stairwells. Their passenger capacities are also being reduced by 15%.

While Hanlon’s Razor is certainly in play here, it surely seems the existence of an investigation about allegations of bid rigging suggest incompetence may not be the lead story here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's best to just put "Dr" Cyril Sneer on Ignore, if they don't get to win the Internet on an hourly basis, they get very baselessly condescending. Ainsley & clown, among other insults, will follow but thankfully unless some other bollock quotes him I will have no idea what he is ranting about. His wee pet Saintee pal will downvote this post, which will say more about them than me.

We already have a dedicated sub forum where Rangers and Celtic fans can goad each other in here in this specially designated area. Keep it out of the main forum please, nobody else is interested! maybe we should have another one specially designated for people to argue about whether virginton is an arsehole or isn’t an arsehole 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well milk the Scottish Government for all they can get. It’s not like they’re likely to get any further orders. Unless the Scottish Government are after some more ferries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which then didn't sail because of a bit of wind on its second day, and needed the old boat to sub in for it. Still, the nonsense up here is beyond a joke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
