Bus on Crumbling Bridge

Crumbling bridge, or crumbling bus?

Where did the bridge go?  How did the bus get stuck there?

One unlikely explanation of the funny bus on the bridge

Darragh O' Malley was driving his lorry when he saw a bridge with a sign saying 10 foot max. headroom. He slowed down wondering if he could drive under it or not.

'A shure I'll give it a go,' he thought only to find that his lorry got stuck underneath it.

Darragh sat back in his seat, poured out a cup of tea and lit a cigarette. A policeman arrived a short time later and knocked on the cab door which Darragh immediately opened.

'What do you think you are doing?' demanded the policeman in a sharp tone.

'Sure I'm having me tea break,' replied Darragh.

'And what do you work at?' enquired the policeman.

'Agh shure, I deliver bridges,' smiled Darragh.

Disappearing Bridges: Will and Guy investigate

The bridge picture [above] showing a bus and a bridge missing got us thinking and research has indicated that bridges are stolen far more often than one might imagine.

Metal bridges can be sold for their scrap value; but Will and Guy find it amusing that these bridges disappear without anyone noticing, it is not as if they are small, some are enormous as our photos show:

Police in the western Czech Republic border town of Cheb have launched an investigation into the theft of a four-tonne railway bridge. 'We are not sure if it was taken for personal use or for its scrap value,' police spokeswoman Martina Hruskova reported. 'It is the first time we have dealt with this type of theft.'

Russian police hunt for thieves who stole a 200-tonne metal bridge

Russian police are hunting scrap metal thieves who stole a 200-tonne metal bridge in a night-time raid. The bridge in Khabarovsk in eastern Russia vanished overnight and was part of the only road leading to a local heating plant. Now staff at the plant have to find alternative routes to work.

Staff at a heating plant were astonished when they discovered the bridge to work had been stolen. Apparently the cost of replacing the bridge will be ten times the value of the scrap metal. The bridge was made of four steel pipes half a metre in diameter and covered with steel plates. The thieves worked at night when there was no one around, which allowed them to dismantle and remove the heavy construction without anyone noticing, a spokesman for the heating plant added. That is that no one noticed until it was time to go to work in the morning and staff couldn't reach the plant.

Following our digression to report on disappearing bridges, we return to our theme of amusing bus pictures.

Omnibus --> Autobus
The first buses were called 'Omnibus', a word derived from the Latin meaning 'for all'.  To this day the Europeans still refer to this mode of transport as Autobus rather than plain bus.

Funny Charabanc
Will and I think that funniest bus was the charabanc.

What's remarkable with the old charabancs is how many people they held for an excursion.  When they arrived at their destination, and all the passengers disembarked, the inevitable picnic made the feeding of the 5,000 seem like a slimmer's convention.

Motor Bus
by: A.D. Godley

WHAT is this that roareth thus?
Can it be a Motor Bus?
Yes, the smell and hideous hum
Indicat Motorem Bum!
Implet in the Corn and High
Terror me Motoris Bi:
Bo Motori clamitabo
Ne Motore caedar a Bo--
Dative be or Ablative
So thou only let us live:
Whither shall thy victims flee?
Spare us, spare us, Motor Be!
Thus I sang; and still and still anigh
Came in hordes Motores Bi,
Et complebat omne forum
Copia Motorum Borum.
How shall wretches live like us
Cincti Bis Motoribus?
Domine, defende nos
Contra hos Motores Bos!

New Role for London Routemaster Bus

In June 2007 a British couple decided to incorporate public transit into their wedding, arriving to the ceremony by bus, and then taking the all the guests along to the reception. Beth Knowles eschewed centuries old tradition by arriving for her nuptials on an old-style London Routemaster bus.

The bride opted not for a chauffeur-drive car, and instead walked down the aisle of the red double-decker with her father Peter and six bridesmaids.

Beth tied the knot with husband, Alan Creedon, 30, at Heron House register office in Manchester city centre.

Can you believe it?

A New York City bus driver stopped his bus because a passenger coughed. The Transit Authority acknowledges something strange happened on the X10 Express bus from Staten Island.

Wall Street banker Michael Goga told the New York Post that he cleared his throat and coughed. The driver told him he had to get off the bus, because he didn't want germs spread.

How to Catch a Number 54 Bus

A country boy called Norman was visiting London, England, for the first time. He wanted to see Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. Unfortunately, he couldn't find it by himself, so he asked a police constable for directions.

'Excuse me, officer, how do I get to Parliament Square?'

The policeman replied, 'Wait here at this bus stop for the number 54 bus. It'll take you right there.' He thanked the officer and waited at the bus stop - see picture opposite.

Three hours later the police officer returned to the same area and, amazingly, Norman is still waiting at the same bus stop.

The police officer got out of his car and said, 'Excuse me, sir, but to get to Parliament Square, I said to wait here for the number 54 bus and that was three hours ago! Why are you still waiting?'

Norman replied disarmingly, 'Don't worry, constable, it won't be long now…The 45th bus just went by.'
