Albert Tatlock 12,059 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I lump it...I never use Ryanair at all...and never will. And I've always had a passport. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
woolley 19,199 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Ryanair gives a highly reliable service in modern aircraft. You just have to accept in advance that they are a "mass production" low cost carrier and don't expect them to look after you at their expense if things go wrong. Having said that, I have used them several times with never a problem. I prefer to take as I find rather than listen to the hyperbole. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
illegitimi non carborundum 56 Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 How do you fund the checks ? In the big house on the hill in Onchan with a blue light outside there is a machine called the PNC and if you wake the person up in front of it with a mug of tea and get them to type what you want to know into it , all will be revealed.

Declan 7,414 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 After we get off the boat we going have to go up to Onchan and show are ID to him? You're still going to have to pay someone to check the ID dockside and ring through. How long are these checks at dockside going to take? Could you explain the purpose if adding more bureaucracy? Other than making travelling to and from here more of a hassle? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When Skies Are Grey 900 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Could you explain the purpose if adding more bureaucracy? Other than making travelling to and from here more of a hassle? Exactly. And what exactly will it flag up.....what powers would anyone doing the checking have to prevent someone from travelling....would there be a big whoop whoop alarm go off and the person instantly frozen in carbonite..... This thread is full of stupid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fossils 573 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Without proper identity checks and records of incoming or outgoing travellers the Island is an ideal travel hub for terrorism and any other organised crime. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's like saying having no checks entering or leaving London by road is the same. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

illegitimi non carborundum 56 Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 London is full of terrorists anyway. The Island has only two recognised entry and exit points , is that such a big deal to monitor ? How do all the illegal drugs enter the Island , fishing boats from Afghanistan to Peel ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
x-in-man 2,329 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) According to the papers - some of it by post. Which is quite a good way of getting your local dealer in hot water - just send your grass clippings to him (or her), by post!

Would that be terrorists in Liverpool looking to smuggle guns to a cell in Morecombe? i did wonder how the island could be a travel 'Hub' for terrorists, it doesn't make for a particularly interesting final destination for acts of terror, and it can hardly be called a halfway point of sorts. Unless radical irish muslims are going to to start making their way across to prominent targets in the UK, stopping off here for a jar of manx knobs on the way. We'll need to step up out Passport checking in case the infamous Muhammad O'shaughnessy, or the ever dangerous Paddy Hussein tries to sneak across. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
