rumpus Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 They have rapid acceleration for big trucks. Made up Shite. Why would a bin lorry require rapid acceleration to get from one bin to the next? Link to comment
robbojunior Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Police are saying there were two other people in the lorry. what were they doing?? Knock the thing out of gear and pull on the handbrake at the very least surely? Link to comment

diamondsr4ever Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Its tragic, the reporting of it will always be pish, and when they start interviewing the general public, it pisses me off, none more so than the local chief of police speaking like some town crier and looking like he needs a good smack in the puss....emotionless cunt that he was.

Bluto10 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Someone on the news said it was doing 100mph which tells me this particular 'bin lorry' didn't have a fully functioning flux capacitor.Not necessarily.Still needs an nuclear reaction to generate the 1 point twenty one gigawatts.

tup Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 My family dinna even bother now. We dinna like each other the other 364 days of the year so there's little to be gained from holding a fucking charade on December 25. Link to comment
daytripping Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Someone on the news said it was doing 100mph which tells me this particular 'bin lorry' didn't have a fully functioning flux capacitor. I heard that chap getting interviewed, call me sceptical but he was really short on detail and havered at every question, I suspect he was relaying third hand info and wasn't actually present when it happened.

tup Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Aye there was a junkie they kept interviewing after the Clutha too. His faither was just dead and the only thought in his head was crocodile tears = compensation. Link to comment

tup Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Think it would be an automatic anyway. Link to comment
Redstar Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Think it would be an automatic anyway.Agreed...if the heart attack theory is true...the driver should have only been in 2nd/3rd driving thru the town so even if he was slumped over the wheel with the accelerator fully depressed the lorry would not have been doing anything like the speeds described...

tup Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Even very young men have heart attacks in that area. I think it's dietary. Link to comment
gla5gowdon Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Disappointed but not surprised by some of the comments on here. I don't know if it's hollow life induced attention seeking or genuine but you're a fucking rodent regardless. 6 Link to comment
tup Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I don't see what your problem is. We are simply speculating on the issue which is the point of the thread. I'm sure we are not far away from the reality here. Link to comment

We dinna like each other the other 364 days of the year so there's little to be gained from holding a fucking charade on December 25. That's a poor attitude to have. At very least take the time to have a dram and share a mince pie. Link to comment
tup Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 If you're trying to imply that I'm being insensitive then you're wrong. I've every sympathy with the victims. Link to comment

There's no implication, I'm stating armchair speculation is helping nobody and is a pretty crass thing to do. Link to comment

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. Link to comment
Redstar Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 The driver's still alive...so not a fatal heart attack...he'll have a few tricky questions to answer when he wakes/sobers up... 1 Link to comment

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...
