Scorrie Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 If there were a couple of honking great supply ships tied up there, no-one would bat an eyelid. I never hear folk in Aberdeen complaining about all the commercial gear being slap bang next to a shopping 'experience'..... It's a temporary fixture providing accom for a workforce, attempt to welcome the benefits and endure the terrible suffering and hardship it is obviously bringing to some...... Death will bring sweet release, no doubt gafynandrew 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostrider Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Death will bring sweet release, no doubt Oh, I dunno. Any afterlife could well have as many trials and tribulations....then of course, there's the risk you could end up as one of the undead....

trout Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 What's wrong with it? At least you don't have to look at Bressay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMouth Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Strange really, all those people wanting to live in town so that they are close to everything, but don't want others to have the opportunity! seventeenpointfivewheeler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Someone suggested to me that the barge(s) should have been moored at Dales Voe..... What a load of ****. If I was a resident of one of these floatels(?) I sure as hell wouldn't want to be tied up miles from anywhere just so that I didn't offend(?) the locals with my presence. Live and let live and, if you have the courtesy, enjoy meeting a few new faces. As for the view(?)... Move a few yards either side and you will get it back... FWIW;I can remember when the Sea Crown(?) was tied up to the spur on the Victoria Pier for months on end. Apart from looking like an ugly old 'rust bucket' if brought the added benefit(?) of hundreds of seagulls who, as they will, proceeded to cover the waterfront in sharn and, the 'moaning minnies' are complaining about a floating hotel ????

paulb Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 are they getting charged council tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unlinkedstudent Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 are they getting charged council tax. Probably not, given that the individual occupants of each room on the barge will have their main place of residence elsewhere and their stay on the barge is short term.

Muppet Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Is the half a billion pounds being spent here just now not quite a nice earner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
