gettafa 6,542 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Only one assault case has emerged to date: Manx Radio: Man left with serious head injuries following assault The town seemed quite busy. With no night club up t'other end of the Promenade these days, it was interesting to see the crowds migrate from the top end of the Quay and the office pubs, down to the pubs around Victoria Street and on Loch Promenade, but I think everywhere was busy, and good natured. We visited more than 20 pubs, some too packed so moved on. There was no 'though must drink responsibility' message from the Isle of Man Government this year, which I always look forward to (unless I missed it). PS I remember one year, it was rather ironic but....wha?...oh, ok, you heard that one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dave Hedgehog 1,086 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 There has been no how to cook poultry meaasge from the government either this year. People are going to crap themselves to death on boxing day. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Non-Believer 13,391 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 (edited) I thought BEF seemed very tame this year, even round Ramsey. Only saw one "kick off", quickly dealt with by a limited Police presence...all seemed to be very well behaved and good natured otherwise. Still, there's always tonight....

Well, it does have a somewhat hollow ring to it after a certain incident does it not? Which it wouldn't have had if he had resigned as a consequence. He didn't so it went down in infamy as a classic example of a total lack of integrity. End of imho.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Douglas was quiet out last night so not sure tonight will be busy for a Sunday. Black Eyed Friday wasn’t too bad either it was very busy but not much kicking off.

Mission 1,108 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I was out Monday and Thursday so gave Friday a miss Both nights seemed quiet for the time of year in the two restaurants we attended. Nice to see things becoming a bit more civilised, I've never got the whole let's go out looking for a fight mentality. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now all the scummers have to go to Douglas for their weekly scraps so at least it’s not our problem any more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
