Could build an 'exclusive' terminal for HNWI where Hall Caine used to be. Then again, that'd mean pissing away millions on a white elephant project with nothing to show for it.

When you travel to the US (and possibly other countries too) there is a box you have to fill out on the application 'have you ever been arrested' . Not 'convicted', no time limit mentioned. Now they'll have to tick the 'yes' box forever, and there's a good chance they'll not be allowed in.

I've worked at a place where if you smoked, you could have a fag break every hour or so. Non-smoker? chained to your desk.

My school turned out to be a dumping ground for thugs with rich parents, who wouldn't be expelled no matter what, because they wanted your money. Out of my class of 20-ish, only a few -weren't- caned.

This was when I was renting 20 years ago, on the IOM. I was definitely paying the rates, in addition to the rent.

I've been in the position of renter and rentee. In all cases, the tenant pays rates/council tax. If you're on a fixed salary, then contracted hours 40, actual hours worked >100 , still get paid the same. How does 'working harder' give you more income?

When the petrol's gone, will the horse trams be extended island-wide?
