Well... And your point is? -
What is the optimum population for the Isle of Man?
Monkey boy replied to BallaDoc's topic in Local News
Most of those 17m are travelling a short distance by car and visiting for the day or a few hours. 13m go to Blackpool and the place is a shit hole. The Island has a decent enough level of tourism but we need to accept people's holiday habits have changed. Those that can afford it go abroad. Those that can't go to Pontins, Blackpool, Caravan parks etc not to far from home. The islands tourism needs to centre around motorsport, cycling and those that want to walk and enjoy the scenery. There is no reason for a family (or mass family tourism) to come here as there was 60 years ago -

I wouldn't want to upset Bobby Bumchum. The lake district gets 17million visitors a year, blaming flights to Spain for our lack of tourists is lazy and unimaginative. -

Again the lake district, 17 million a year, have you ever been? -
And what if MTP is away on holiday?

Nice to see you hold the Ramsey electorate in the same regard as you do everyone else. -
Yeah but it probably hasn't worked all morning today.In almost two years it's never gone off once.

What you basing that on?Personal experience, a bad one. Now with Sure, problem solve (was MT despite their assertions to the contrary) It's good that you like them, I'm very pleased for you.You going to elaborate? Considering sure are dependant on MTs broadband infrastructure? Please don't say they gave you a new router and that fixed it! Ok, I had constantly crappie and slow broadband for over 18 months, phoned them about it lots of times and was always told it was nothing to do with them and to change my filters - so I'd go out and spend ten quid on filters which made no difference.

I did alright but found it hard to keep up with the questions because I was also on here all night on my phone under the desk. -

Surely they'll realise singer isn't one of the favourites and vote for one of the favourites in that case though wouldn't they? -

Not sure tactical voting works, just vote for any two apart from Singer innit? -

I'm glad we agree on something. -
Impressive figures until you take into account with their e-mail and broadband service they're the other way around.

I'm surprised the court didn't order BV to abide by the terms of the original tickets instead of giving him a refund, perhaps they offered him that. If it was me that would seem a sweeter victory than just a refund (and costs of course)
