Gilly G. Ossenfeffer Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 How would you blow £1 million on manx heritage? http://www.bbc.co.uk...of-man-17776842 I would demolish Chester Street car park/Shopshite etc and replace that whole area with a beautiful park along the lines of a Pompeiian garden with pergolas, statues and water features. In the summer it would have tables placed outside for a glass of wine or coffee. The statues would be of famous Manx worthies, eg. T E Brown, Illiam Dhone, Captain John Quilliam, Sir William Hillary etc. A glass lift could take you up to the Manx Museum. Lovely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Tatlock Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I'd spend it on a large tank and put Eddie Lowey on display suspended in Formaldehyde. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazze Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 Our very own back street Shangri La, certainly a more interesting idea I'll bet than the idea they eventually conjure up. Although personally I will be voting viking long boats with outboard engine races. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazze Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 On a serious note, the man who donated the money does sound like a very interesting chap and it would be nice if they did do something that he would have been interested in.

cabbyl ushtey Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Tidy up Church Farm at Cregneish it's more like a scrap yard than a farm yard. It wouldn't cost much, just take a few hours hard work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Tatlock Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 16.5 tonnes of felt to start off the felt museum or... One eighth of a monrail carriage to start off the monorail project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 If a hitman charges an average of £25K, we could get all the MHKs and MLCs done for £875K, with enough left over for everyone living on the island to have an ice cream cone too. And all live happily ever after! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebees Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Albert, mate, when was the last time you bought an Ice cream? Did it say Felices on the kiosk, and was it at the bottom of Broadway? (when you could drive up it without having to venture onto 'that' side of the prom) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) Albert, mate, when was the last time you bought an Ice cream? Did it say Felices on the kiosk, and was it at the bottom of Broadway? (when you could drive up it without having to venture onto 'that' side of the prom) Yeuch to Felices' ice cream - horrible I thought, tasted bland I was always a Manx Ice's man meself. I think the last time I bought one was 2 years before the horse trams started. . Edited April 20, 2012 by Albert Tatlock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt W E Johns Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I expect that Edmund Southworth, the Islands' most pompous man, will spend the money on even more consultants survey reports which he will then keep secret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymbabe Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I'd spend it on a large tank and put Eddie Lowey on display suspended in Formaldehyde. I could think of many other likely candidates for the Damien Hirst treatment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
