Glasgae buses turn amphibious

Looked a bit dodgy to me.. Admittedly there's as much below the waterline as above to stop it from tipping over if a breath of wind blew across it, it still looked a bit narrow to me.
I'd make sure that I'd got some waterwings on before I paid me fare..."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

How much would it cost to pay regular users of this service to stay at home and instead post tulip on CUK?Originally posted by Cliphead View PostMillions
I bet that would be less than £700,000 - once they try it once they won't be able to stop.

My thoughts when I read it - these busses are 700k a pop without considering the running costs. Can they work in bad weather? how reliable are they?Originally posted by AtW View Post"The £700,000 Dutch-made vehicle can carry up to 45 passengers"

Surely s simple boat or ferry would be the best solutionRule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment
