RAZOR Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Two others in the lorry too. Very strange. Not really. When have you ever seen a single binman in a lorry. It's at very least a 3 man operation. Link to comment
DD1903 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Pretty sure they would have been shiteing themselves wandering what the fuck is going on as they thundered into pedestrians.Would you have calmly saved the day and pulled off an expertly timed move like that before anyone got hurt?You missed out how he would have quipped some john mclaneesque one liner at the end...

Poodler Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 At least they can't coin the phrase 'you have grown' when you do bump into them. In all seriousness, send a card and bottle of whiskey there way. Xmas is a time to forgive and forget. Feel free to knock them out on Boxing Day however. Manage a nip on Xmas day? Link to comment
Tommy Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 That leader of the city council gets on my tits.He's always going on about the great way Glasgow deals with such tragedies.Heaven forbid that a horrible incident happened elsewhere because he'dno doubt offer his expertise. 1 Link to comment

Nespa Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 dont see the problem.. Im sure if it was Aberdeen there would be a rally cry of togetherness aswell and no doubt this probably happened in the aftermath of PA.............its just words..if it helps bring people together then relax ................take the Aberdonian chip off your shoulder Bri 3 Link to comment
RAZOR Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Yep. Don't agree with the insinuation that "only in Glasgow" would people react like that, as if it happened in Aberdeen or Edinburgh folk would've just walked on by or something. Even in Glasgow people were still disturbed enough to whip out their phones and video the aftermath. Link to comment

King Street Loon Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Not really. When have you ever seen a single binman in a lorry. It's at very least a 3 man operation.The days of binman 2 and 3 hanging off the back of the lorry are long gone. Thanks to the likes of boofon and his health and safety cronies. Now they all sit huddled in a cab doing fuck all and complaining about it.Not really sure of the point im making, but I've made it anyway. Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 The whole thing is very tragic. But what I also find tragic is that minutes after it happened, someone went out of their way to make a facebook page and a few images of a candle and fired it around Social Media. I honestly believe there are people out there who THRIVE on this kind of thing. They look for ways to gain self promotion and indulge in their own puerile need for attention by producing this shit and passing it off as if they actually care and are making a difference. Sending around an image of a candle WILL NOT help. It might make you feel better about yourself, it might even make you think that you've "done your bit" but it doesn't. All you are doing is feeding the emotionally deprived individuals who live on Facebook likes. You can care about something without having to go out of your way to tell people, who aren't even involved in the whole thing, that you care. 4 Link to comment

Tommy Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Two grandparents and granddaughter died.That's a hell of a thing for one family to endure. Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I would say the reason the phrase "especially at this time of year" get's used is because it's meant to be a "joyous" happy time of year for the whole family to get together. I also think it means that they will always associate Christmas with the tragedy, especially if it's true that a family lost two grandparents and a grandchild. Heart breaking at any time of year, but it will ever be remembered at Christmas every year for the rest of their lives. Link to comment

I'm having fuck all to do with it. Bin lorries are an extravagance in Glasgow anyway given all that's ever in them is dead rats. Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Two things as I haven't had time to read thru all you lads' efforts. 1/. There is definitely something rook about the driver. Drunk/suicidal/iSIS whatever. 2/. The bbc coverage about 9.30 this morning was utterly shocking. Some local dignitary took it upon himself to point out that this proved beyond doubt that Glasgow was miles better. Like the people of anywhere else would have stood back, or thrown children, puppies or nuns in its path. Very noticeable that by 11.30 john Beattie was going out of his way to say that the same benevolence would have happened elsewhere. They obviously took heavy flak PR wise. Link to comment

Drunk/suicidal/iSIS whatever. I agree with this, just too coincidental for this to happen where it did at this time of year, it may be unfounded and turn out to be a tragic accident but I doubt it, not only happening where it did but in the manner it happened, how often do you hear of someone taking ill at the wheel and hammering the accelerator down in the process. Few similar things happening in France as well, will be interesting to see if the driver is a mossie. Link to comment

Tommy Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Someone I know was there when it happened. A female was basically cut in two.I'd imagine a lot of witnesses will need some help. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 The lorry in Aberdeenshire would have avoided half of them because they were the wrong colour. Link to comment
