I think faith schools should be done away with. Just my opinion. If you want your kid to have a religious education you should just go to a normal primary school and the kids would have an extra RE lesson. Whether its c of e, catholic or Muslim. People of different faiths should mix from an early age.

It's a faith school, so I think the church should fund the school. That would leave more money in the kitty for the normal schools.

It flew over Douglas this morning at around 1am. Anyone else hear it? Woke me up

Thanks for the info

As I said a pointless task. It needs saying again :-)

So the guy in the tractor scoops up all the seaweed and then dumps it into the sea, only for the next high tide to dump it back on the beach. Seems a waste of time and money to me. Why don't they dump it in the sea somewhere else?

If only Henry Bloom Noble could see what the big wigs in the copy have done to Nobles Park :0(

What about the 60 plus old bowlers with their weak bladders, all facilities should be either upgraded or replaced if the corporation wants to run a play ground and bowling greens Good point. I thought they'd already wrecked the facilities for the bowlers. I remember as a kid how busy and popular the bowling greens were.

They are killing Nobles Park. I take my 3 year old son to the Tot-Lot park whenever the weather permits. The place is a sham. Are they purposely trying to kill it off? There isn't much there to attract visitors or for rate paying residents to take their kids to. I fully agree with some of the previous comments about the toilets. How the hell are you supposed to explain to a 3 year old, hold on to a pee because the nearest toilet is now about 200 metres away.

I'm glad somebody else has noticed this practice.

This time round, I will be voting for a candidate who actually has a brain cell.

Malew and Santon - It's time for a change. One more term and his pension will be sorted

What can I say that's not going to get me in trouble........Personally I won't be voting for Mr Cregeen

What time/where is that? The vulcan will be over Douglas at around 19.30 enjoy
