Big Ben: Cost of repairing Elizabeth Tower rises by £18.6m :
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-51482370

Quote .

" A statement from the House of Commons Commission said: "It is very frustrating to learn that the Elizabeth Tower project requires yet more funding, having agreed an extra £32m in 2017. "

Of course the costs would rise , it's they way things are done in the UK and that makes it £50.6M extra since the first cost price so somebody somewhere is raking in the money .

What is thundersnow? Rare weather phenomenon strikes Glasgow during Storm Ciara : https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/news/glasgow-news/what-thundersnow-rare-weather-phenomenon-17723289
Thundersnow ? Well just like I said we got everything Mother Nature could throw at us weather wise , well almost . Thundersnow , yeah I've heard of it but don't think I've heard of it here , Glasgow is about a 30m bus journey away from here so when it happened and PM Boris 'Bonkers' Johnson was talking claptrap in The Houses Of Parliament when it happened so maybe I was too far away to hear it .

PM Boris 'Bonkers' Johnson attempted to appease us Scots and the Irish with his HS2 rail London project is this one :
Work 'under way' into Scotland-Northern Ireland bridge feasibility : https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-51443191

"Critics think it's mad. And it certainly won't be easy.

The cost could be more than £20bn and the Irish Sea isn't the most hospitable terrain for a major infrastructure project - Beaufort's Dyke is littered with munitions dumped after World War II."

In other words we are looking into building a bridge between Scotland and Ireland and we will let you know in maybe 5 years time as we waste your taxpayers money on the feasibility study and blow your cash on my HS2 London rail link but the feasibility study found out it was impossible to build the bridge , sorry folks !

PM Boris 'Bonkers' Johnson......Government pledges £5bn for bus services and cycling routes :
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-51453457
I've got a funny feeling this is to appease first time English and Welsh Tory first time voters to distract them from his HS2 rail vanity project but these first time Tory voters may well find the Bus and cycle project started to some areas such as London but then they ran out of money , sorry folks !

PM Boris 'Bonkers' Johnson has given the go ahead for the HS2 rail link : HS2 go-ahead controversial and difficult, admits Boris Johnson .
Quote :
" The spiralling cost of the project has sparked a backlash. The cost set out in the 2015 Budget was set at just under £56bn, but one independent estimate puts the cost as high as £106bn."
I wouldn't be surprised if the end costs were 3 or 4 or 5 times the £56bn because that the way things get done here in the UK but every PM gets their London vanity project and this is PM Boris 'Bonkers' Johnson's one . Who knows , maybe if the people of Wales and Scotland wait another 30 , 40 or 50 years they will build a link for HS2 rail services their or maybe the Welsh people will wake up and look at the HS2 rail links and realise every Westminster PM get their vanity project and the money get spent in London , like us Scots did years ago , it's how they spend our oil money .

Storm Ciara continues and you name it , it happened , high winds , hail , rain , sleet ,snow but it didn't land , the sun made a brief appearance but not for long and for the second night in a row I got caught up in the high winds and one minute the rains falling horizontal then vertical , in front then behind then it turns to hail stones then sleet . Storm Ciara is to pass late Wednesday night but the next one is brewing and they've called it Storm Dennis .

Contact the owner of Pete’s Billiards in San Antonio and when you get a contact number send me a message. Pete refereed me to him when I was looking for a butterfly cue but I never followed up. I live right outside of San Antonio.

The ATM cash machine .
The local one is still down and probably will be for a while so next option is the Spar shop next door , opening hours 7am-10pm or find another ATM that accepts your card but that might involve travelling . I was chatting with my daughter so it was about another ATM not that far away and they gas blasted it from the wall . Now what sort of idiot tries that ? Pretty obvious some of the cash would've went up in flames lol but they got caught : https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/botched-atm-gas-blast-raider-20444304

Ice and snow forecast in wake of Storm Ciara :
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-51434439
Gale force winds blowing for two days/nights in a row so no rush to go out far but far enough to the Spar shop that's seconds away to see what happened at the ATM machine : clydebankpost.co.uk/news/18218975.cops-probe-attempted-theft-atm-duntocher/
So its out of commission obviously but the ATM is still there butit lookslike they used a cutting device where the money gets dispensed and there's a letterbox size hole size cut into the machine minus the chapper . CCTV on the street everywhere so no doubt the culprits will be caught .
