British man to build 28 miles penis extension

Jesus fuck, I've never noticed the thing is directional before.



I don't know how I'd remember the orientation easily, though. If the red saltire is supposed to be above the white, isn't it identically topmost and leftmost (in the top left, correctly flown hoist on the left version) depending on which bits of blue you're looking at? They both reach the very top left corner.

it's the width of the diagonal white parts

This is one of those useless pieces of information that I wish I could forget, but it won't go away. I just think of it like this; on the flag pole side, the wider white diagonal should be above the red diagonal.

the welsh don't even get a look in do they. no dragons or nothing on there.

Now that I know it I can think of a couple of useful uses. One is to annoy the vocally patriotic by deliberately hanging it the wrong way round, and another is to weed out vocal but clueless soi-dissant patriots who can't even spot mistakes with the flag they claim to love wanking over.

Why wouldn't a bridge between Northern Ireland and mainland UK be great?

Because #BlondeManBad? or do you actually have any coherent reasons why this wouldn't be brilliant?

[jobotic]

There's a lot of reasons given in this thread, as if you're interested.

other than Sheepy that's just loads of #BlondeManBad #EnglishAreCunts - any adults contributed anything else useful?

see, this guy gets it

didn't call the election results as well, even when presented with an exit poll, but definitely gets how brilliant bridges can be

Being racist against blonde men would be interesting, given I am one.  #selfhatingblondeguy

Although some good reasons could include: ludicrous cost outweighing any benefits; technical improbability due to difficulty of large scale civil works in that stretch of water; the presence of a munitions dump in that part of the sea; unexploded WWII ordinance; obvious target for terrorism (the chances of which have now increased due to Johnson's pet project); and the fact that the man proposing it arsed up building a bridge across a stretch of water roughly 50m wide and now thinks he can sort one out which is roughly 1,000 times wider than that.  I could even mention that the Exchequer might be paying for a bridge between two places which may not even be part of the UK by the time the structure is finished (again, thanks to Johnson's pet project).

But no, it's because blonde man is bad.

And also, who the fuck is going to want to drive 22 miles over the North Channel, with the strong winds, rough seas and stormy conditions which are typical of that stretch of sea?

Interesting that you cut out the fact that I can't be racist against myself - and instead imply that I'm saying that you can't be racist against a blonde bloke.  Odd way to confect a point.

I work as a quantity surveyor mate.  Being a 'black hat' is part of the job description.  As is understanding how construction works, what the risks are, what the project will cost, and providing analysis of cost/benefit.  I know what I'm talking about.  And you don't know how successful I am - probably not a good idea to guess based on the fact I'm left wing.

I love spunking taxpayers' money on impractical follies which I refuse to research

Go for it I reckon.

Bridges are old hat, we should be concentrating our resources on building flying cars.  C'mon Boris, you could call them BorisCars or something.

[Blumf]

I say make the bridge, but I'm worried about all the bad weather you get on the sea. So can we make it a bridge with lots of ground around it to protect it? Like some ground walls and a ground roof to keep the rain off.

Is there a name for a bridge like that?

Bridges just attract trolls.
