You're probably right CH - let's wait and see. Like most of the weirdo celebrities out there she blames her behavior on bi-polar disorder. Convenient excuse to behave badly.
And to think - in China they put up a 30 story hotel in 14 days. You can watch a time lapse video on YT. It would take 14 months just to get planning permission in Ireland. I was told that they managed to construct an entire, functioning railway station in China in under 3 days! The West is way behind the East. Like light years behind. We are using outmoded construction methods and we are bogged down by an endless amount of red tape. Hey, somebody has to make sure the civil servants have something to do. Ireland and the UK are in a coma when it comes to infrastructure. And the real killer punch is after all those delays and dithering the construction quality is even worse than China's - especially the housing sector. Had to re-do the wiring in my place because it was so badly executed. Looked like it was done by a blind man. Incorrect wiring sizes etc. etc. The list goes on and on. When I worked for Intel a friend had a gas installation done on a new build. After a couple of weeks he was having trouble with the heating system. He called in the experts and they found that he was not even connected to the gas main at all. He had been hooked up to a large gas cylinder that had been buried in the back garden when the house was built. I kid you not!

It took 9 years to resurface a 10.1km stretch of road along the coast where I live – dreadful business entailing many hours of waiting in a stop/go system with one of two lanes closed to traffic, hugely frayed tempers and a few entrepreneurial souls selling coffee and other bits and pieces to the captive queue. (Ok – they were re-laying pipes and stuff as well, but still) The roadworks finally came to an end timed perfectly to coincide with my no longer needing to go that way every day. Sod’s law, lol!
