The Clackmannanshire Bridge opened to traffic on Wednesday 19 November 2008.
Prior to 1 October 2008 the bridge was referred to as the upper Forth crossing while the name was chosen.
The increasing levels of traffic using the existing Kincardine Bridge led to a public inquiry being held into options to ease traffic flow over the Forth and around the small town of Kincardine. In 2000 proposals were put forward for a number of alternatives, one of which was a new crossing running north-northwest of the existing bridge, bypassing the town of Kincardine altogether.
In 2005 the new crossing was given the go-ahead, and construction began in June 2006, with the sod-cutting ceremony performed by then Scottish Transport Minister, Tavish Scott, accompanied by the Earl of Elgin who as a boy had performed the ceremony for the Kincardine Bridge.
The bridge was officially opened by Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond on 28th November 2008. At the ceremony, Salmond said: "This is a world-class infrastructure project which will cut journey times, improve central Scotland connections, and provide a unique gateway to Clackmannanshire, Fife and Falkirk"

leste du vg nyheten "kilt i hetebølge"? tusenvis av skotter var i hovedstaden for å se EM kvalifiseringskamp mellom norge og skottland og de gikk alle rundt i kilt i oslo🙈 en ble overrasket over at norge var så varmt lmao
jaaa så den 😂
Scotland and Norway played against each-other in the qualification for the European Championship in football, and so Oslo was flooded with Scots that one weekend in June. Some of them were surprised it was so hot in Norway 😅 but luckily most of them were wearing kilts, giving more ventilation...

New Scotland Yard: Prove It (2.5, LWT, 1972)
"Tell me about the wounded man, Slee."
"Yes, well, local talent. He owns three car lots and a laundrette. He's done quite well for himself, considering."
"Considering what?"
"He started life shooting other people's knees off."
"That's a grammar school education for you."
"Mmm. PTI in the army, jacked it in and sold his muscle to the highest bidder."
"Form?"
"Usual: GBH, malicious wounding with a weapon, assault occasioning bodily harm, demanding with menaces. Clean for the last four years."
"Now a respectable businessman."
"Scum. Handmade suits, two daughters at the local convent, but still scum."
#new scotland yard#prove it#1972#lwt#classic tv#peter moffatt#richard harris#john woodvine#john carlisle#anthony sagar#richard borthwick#ray lonnen#ralph watson#roy purcell#june watson#sally nesbitt#brian hayes#terence sewards#malcolm gerard#gangsters! a gangland 'disagreement' sees one man clinging to life and our intrepid boys move in to sort it all out. they're off their own#patch this week‚ for reasons which are never explained‚ and much is made of the local coppers being uncomfortable around high ranking#types. one of those locals is played by Anthony Sagar‚ who's inexplicably doing a welsh accent (tho tbf not a bad one). this must have been#one of his final jobs‚ he died in January of '73. also a delight is Sandbagger 1 himself‚ Mr Ray Lonnen‚ as a wide boy Mr Big#looking to expand. Harris' script is wittier than many eps of NSY and contains a lot of his trademark sly dialogue (including multiple#instances of the viewer hearing only one side of a phone call and being left to wonder what exactly is being joked about..). this is the#second episode in a row to end with the central crime not actually wrapped up‚ tho in this case it's hinted that Kingdom has set#certain things in motion which will hopefully provoke an arrestable response. he and Carlisle have another icy show down about methods and#practises‚ and Carlisle gets in a truly venomous line or two which should surely have seen him reprimanded (if they had anything like a#realistic working relationship). not a bad ep‚ not a great one either‚ a little too straight cop show in shape to be truly intriguing

I love getting my plant watering reminder after I’ve already watered my plants. I feel so productive and responsible (half of my plants are dying)

The way narcissist cookbook just played the song that reduces me to a chronic pain transsexual wreck made of tears followed immediately by a song that goes "I have a fat ass I eat pussy and I wanna get railed".... unmatched energy. I really, really needed that right now
