Boris the nutter

The main obstacle to it is unexploded WW2 bombs still lying on the sea bed

I don't think that's going to be the main obstacle Gonegirl

Really?!

Gonegirl - you know what mental means? then you know latin.

forward thinking?

Still don't understand Dinaho's post.

Is it a roundabout way of saying that Boris is mentally challenged? (Or me perhaps?! )

Forward thinking? I take it you read the article that almcg2001 posted?

I don't know about a bridge to the moon, but in the first half of the last century how many would have thought we would ever put a man on the moon?

I take it you didn't educate yourself by reading what is actually involved in building, operating and keeping this bridge open then.

So, what happens when Scotland becomes independent, which looks pretty inevitable now?

Who knows - but further uncertainty, divisions, and unrest looks likely.

then Westminster will have to find the money elsewhere to fund its borrowing .How many billions of oil money has been wasted by WM ? Norway has less oil in its waters than Scotland does and it has a massive oil fund while Scotland has foodbanks....couldn't mak eit up could you!!

No no no paddyann you are all deluded and confused. Things have never been better, there is no austerity, there are plenty of jobs. Some people like zero hours contracts, it suits their lifestyle.
Fee paying schools are for everybody and a bit of Latin is always useful.

Oh yawn Paddy.

Norway also has one of the highest levels of taxation and one of the highest levels of personal debt in Europe.

It's puzzled me right from when oil was first discovered in the North sea, where all the money went, given that we were an oil rich country [or Scotland is I guess].

No Sirchenjin I haven't educated myself on how to building effin' bridges. Sorry.

Tax cuts and poor investment Labaik www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/13/north-sea-oil-money-uk-norwegians-fund

No, I wasn't expecting you to teach yourself how to build bridges, just read the article

Does it really seem plausible, off the top of your head, that it's feasible to build a bridge to the moon?!

No!!! Who said it did?

Well the last time Boris decided to build a vanity project bridge it all worked out very well didn't it? £53.5 million spent - including £43 million of taxpayers money and not a single brick laid! Think how that money could have helped with housing, healthcare, schools and social care!

The 10 mile Öresund Bridge between Sweden and Denmark was a much easier project but took years to complete and cost £3 billion

Sorry, bwteen Ireland and Scotland - don't know where on earth that came from!!!

You didn't imagine a bridge to the moon humpty, this was linked to earlier by another poster!

Ah thanks, SirChenjin, I thought I was going mad! (haven't started on the gin yet so it's not that...)

What do you mean you're not on the gin yet?? It's 3.30 woman, what have you been doing with your time?!
