Road update - squared
Posted: Monday, 08 May 2006 |
I've no idea what all the fuss is about - with respect to the road that is. Isn't every islands' main road as good as ours?

It depends what you coll a road, Ming. That looks more like one of your unexploded beumbs became a trifle exploded unexpectedly.

yikes! and i thought our roads were bad!

Hi Ming. Is that a broken bird cage or a creel poking out of the rubble?

Louie, I am told by the humans it's a device designed to catch one's exhaust pipe and silencer under one's car. As you travel over the expensive bits just get ripped off.

Gosh Ming, that is no place for a cat to do his business, I prefer nice soft earth, usually in someones garden,and not a piece of mesh in site.

Hey Ming Where did you manage to find a bit of road that good beyond the pothole? The airport boys are rapidly going to lose island goodwill if the road continues to be blocked for 20 minutes while the holes are topped up, especially at 9 am, 5 pm and ferry times. The heat has melted the tar and amateur Sherlock Holmes's can tell the most recent vehicles to go past by looking at the tyre tracks. I'm going to get summer 'snow chains' with my name on, or I could sell advertising space. Are my wheels big enough to get BTinternet on? Seriously, the road west is not really a road anymore.

Hey Ming ,my pal has just been to Coll, he says the road to the west end finishes at the free church, it's a cat asthpopy after that, something between a farm track and the path to the top of Ben Lomond

Is it co-incidence that Cliad tip has been closed at the same time as the roads get trashed?. No longer can Coll people get access to the landfill tip and we will have to pay to put a car there. The council will charge us to tip our cars that has been wrecked by the actions of the very same council in demolishing our roads ! Sounds like we lose on all accounts. But a more serious effect of Cliad being closed is the loss of a very important re-cycling centre. Large amounts of public money is being spent to encourage re-cycling and our council is party to this by supplying re-cycling skips. Yet, the very same council has closed our most useful re-cycling facility, the tip ! It is almost unbelievable. Cliad tip was a very useful source of car spares. We don’t have the luxury of having a Halfords here (or any other car parts shop) and the only way to keep many on the road is to re-cycle. Now we can’t. I know it’s some moron from somewhere even more moronic that has applied some ridiculous law to forbid us access to ‘tips’, so lets just rename it a ‘Re-cycling Centre’ and just get on with life.

That's an excellent idea, except here we have had a spy-on-a-pole installed at the dump. (Civic Amenity Site) I'm not a xenophobic cat and have nothing against Poles, indeed a lot of Stromnessians are very fond of them . It's the wee camera atop the pole which is meant to deter scranners, but diletante recycling just goes on as normal and no-one's been prosecuted yet. Maybe it's a sham cam. Hold the front page - Super scranners shun amenity site sham spy cam !
