With the best will in the world I can't see any connection? Honda have a long history at the TT so have provided bikes since 1973, albeit with a break where Yamaha and Suzuki stepped in, their contracts expired and Honda came back. Honda Cars are part of the same organisation and when Subaru's contract expired, they stepped in. Mylchreests don't have any contract with the TT other than David Mychreest is the long standing chief driver.

There are some very strange and plausible prophesies going around. Some suggesting that we could become part of a huge network linked by AI, all our thoughts and feelings can be easily controlled using electrical and chemical stimuli. Simply placing a chip into our body or a tattoo may be the way that we are linked in from birth? We would in effect be controlled either by some collective or a super computer network. The benefits are that illness can be eliminated and diseases can be fought apparently? We would effectively all be part of a giant computer game!

Haha, you managed to get a lot into that Helmut. I have a very strange picture in my mind's eye now!

I imagine for this debate that it would be green looneys and millenials filling the public gallery.

Well yes but the Irish guy was quite cooperative and polite and got £1,000 fine and the local who was abusive and carried on regardless was fined £250.

Yes, but putting up a bit of a fight and stating our case wouldn't have gone amiss! This move isn't achieving anything other than giving the gutter press free access to people's private affairs.

Got it in one!

They've had another lightbulb moment (Apologies to LightBulb)

I recall a cyclist damaging one of our company vehicles quite badly when it was parked. The rider was an 11yr old boy who was hurt but not badly. The police reckoned that we could claim off his parents household liability insurance, fat chance indeed, his parents were uncooperative and his insurance company even more so. Our insurance excess was £600 at the time so it was a marginal claim on our own insurance, they were not prepared to follow up on this on our behalf.

Seems to be a lack of consistency here? http://www.iomtoday.co.im/article.cfm?id=49087&headline=TT%20marshal%20%27shocked%27%20by%20man%27s%20behaviour&sectionIs=NEWS&searchyear=2019

So, what are the facts?

I know he's involved with Quing, which is a Manx mental health charity. Structure, you mean like the Scouts? The Freemasons have a structure but what evidence is there that there is anything other than charitable works and ceremonial content in their meetings?

Looking forward to it. I do wonder why someone's good works should be questioned because he's a member of what is essentially a social club?

Oh dear, well now you know.
