Isle Of Bute Saint Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 The new bridge over the Forth biggest of its kind in the world. The fact it has wind defectors built into it means it will always be open during high winds. Another bit of great Scottish engineering. The SNP have done a great job of infrastructure the M8 , the Bridge , Parkhead is unrecognizable. All ferry prices to the islands have been reduced also. Still more infrastructure needed two lanes down to the cost on the 737 needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you're really that important that you have personal trolls. What a walloper you are, sometimes. Well, when I say "sometimes" ... No, it really doesn't. Aye, run along, you're out of your depth.

I don't gamble, my life's full and interesting, I have no need to fill it with mundane things such as gambling to find meaning to my existence. If I have a few spare minutes, I pop on here, find the "walloper of the day" (it's you today) and have a laugh at them, like I'm doing just now. Where did you get the impression that I was going to bet on anything, let alone Watford. Are you trying to take on the mantle of "he who shall not be named" by proving that you can't understand simple English? Without looking it up, I couldn't even tell you what league Watford are in these days, it's of absolutely no interest to me and has no importance in my life. The only club sides, other than the Buds, that I take any remote interest in are the ones that we are going to face during a season. This is a St Mirren forum, the general football forum is P&B, go and join them. How someone as apparently shallow as you can talk about depth is beyond me, unless you're talking about the depths of despair that you live in. Anyway, that's my few spare minutes gone so I'm away for now. You can, therefore, take your time to post your "^^^^^ verge of tears" reply, as I won't see it until tomorrow. Oh dear............................walloper of the day award. Your interest in "the buds" is very well disguised as you fanny about on every thread apart from the football thread, mostly. Another wanker who deems himself informed enough to comment on other peoples lifestyles. Sleep well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
