Haig flooded?!

[Lid]

(Trying again, due to Sinner fault)

Yes, I know this should belong on the DRA board, but I thought it was important enough to warrant a thread here.

Rumour has it that Haig's been flooded from above, destroying some of the flats below.

I hear this isn't the first time this has happened, Scott 9 destroyed the flats below it a year or two ago. Is it about time we started walking round with umbrellas?

Oh, and the DRA powercut today, if you were wondering, was over this.

Displaced by all this? Rant away

one of the flats on the bottom of lang is flooded too, and they couldn't get anything done about it yesterday because the office wasn't open.

It's not exactly flooded, the diswasher just soaked the linoleum part of the kitchen. Soggy would be a better description.

I mean, what builders in their right mind make a building out of old newspapers and load bearing paint?

[hr]

Strangers passing in the street, by chance two seperate glances meet.

[Light the Rag]

Incompetent idiots with no idea how to use a kitchen?

Putting food down the drains? Overloading a dishwasher?

A never ending source of hilarity.

Yes I can confirm that Haig building at the DRA site has been flooded. All residents were evacuated at 2am last night and have been housed in Temporary accomodation in other Halls throughout town.
The power to the building has been disconnected. A notice on the door says that the sitution will be reassessed on Monday morning.

it must have been two years ago, it definitely was not last year.

Hang on - isn't DRA the Annexe? As in, the brand spanking new buildings?

Annexe. Apartments. Whatever.

Hell, I didn't even know all the old buildings had been knocked down.

[Dave the Explosive Newt]

Apartments, old man. A 2 year old building quite literally peeing itself.

i.e.... the rest of the university's closed for the weekend so no-one can turn the stop-cock off until the office opens on Monday?

Ha Ha, yeah, it's quite funny. When my heating went off I turned on all the cooker rings, oven, grill, and boiled the kettle with the lid off to get some heat into the place until the repairmen came. It was right in the middle of exams and i couldn't move my fingers for the cold.

I'd like to change the world but they won't give me the source code.

[paw paw]

Can you imagine the smell from the flats when you all get back cos all the electricity is off...our electricity went off last year in dra and the fridge was left for 2 weeks and the smell was unbelievable..we can still smell in this year, plus we lost alot of food then and didnt get any money for it even tho it was the uni's fault

It sreally weird to see haig in complete darkness aswell

University incompetence - a never ending source of hilarity. I remember the lower parts of Scott being destroyed in summer 2004, i'd have thought they'd have learnt their lesson after that.

I seriously think their handling of the situation has been abysmal. We can't blame the Residence Admin for the flood, but the haven't kept residents informed: I was at homje when it happened, and would not have know to this day that my flat was in such a terrible state if my flatmate hadn't called us, and wouldn't know that I weas being moved unless I had called the residence admin to enquire!!!

i live in Haldane and someone came in yestereday to check for a leak as the flat below us was getting a drip from their ceiling apparently...
