TheTeapot Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I think Rob has finally taken everyone's advice and shut up on the internet. Does he still do his blog? Used to see it spammed all over facebook, haven't noticed it for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Onchan Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Does anyone know when the issue of introducing the electric trams to the promenade was made? I don't recall reading or hearing anything about that when DOI had their little showcase at the Sea Terminal last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall reading or hearing anything about that when DOI had their little showcase at the Sea Terminal last year. Longworth's fantasy. I wouldn't bet against him having pushed this little gem through off his own bat in defiance and/or disregard of what was actually announced or even permitted, approval-wise. I'm sure I've read something somewhere about the proposal to run the electric trams on the promenade being knocked back previously. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow it hasn’t stopped Longworth doing it anyway despite the flawed installation of the lines and being £1M short on signaling looking at the above thread. Largely because Longworth is a wank-puffin who needs to be gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He strikes me as someone who would last about 3 months in the private sector before being fucked out the door but who has found a nicely toxic environment they can manage for their own long term benefit in the public sector. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoTail Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Just watched a program about quantum entanglement, could not get my head round it, but it does seem easier to understand than what the fuck is going on with the promenade. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
