The Forth road bridge is to be closed completely for the next 24 hours and possibly longer till structural defects--- up to 8--- are investigated.
This is a major blow to the Scottish Road network and will have huge knock on effects on traffic flows in central Scotland.

Gollum had no friends either, but he didn't cuss and swear on a forum.

Maybe you should be more like him?

And you could start that process by go living in a cave...
 
Mods Your Mum...? How did you come up with that one?

I have no doubt that Sir William Arrol is spinning in his grave as we speak : his own creation having surpassed 150 years and still standing ( despite its custodians best efforts through negligence ) and this upstart ( created in his name ) apparently rotten to the core and not even one third as old .

I'm fully expecting 'I told you so' from Smart Alex any day in justification of his own folly .
