Two-lane Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I downloaded the subtitles so that I didn't have to listen to the mind-numbing voice, but even so suicidal tendencies are brought to the fore, e.g. "but we run silly events like agatha you do uh at other museums in america so we have an island at war and we borrowed this um model of a spitfire which had been used as a prop in a film and where i said someone rang up to say the plane had crashed on the mountain and could we go and see if the pilot was alright but it was just a prop from a film um and we've had like midsummer's evening we have those that are more connected with the gods and the vikings and go up there and here they are sending their wishes to the gods um so we had 150 i think that night doing that but if we do that we have to issue a notice to airmen um so that the planes on the way to america in an evening aren't confused by these things" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManxTaxPayer Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Looks good to me, I'm going to watch all of that later. But then, I am interested in transport systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxman1980 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 The actual statement around the TT is; "We're the home of the TT Races. Which we're famous for and they're over a hundred years old. And five to eight people kill themselves and about four to three thousand* come to watch each year with on street motorbike racing" The way he says this makes it sound like we have people travel to the Isle of Man to watch people commit suicide... *I can't quite make out if he says four to three thousand or forty three thousand. I went with the most likely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 56 minutes ago, Two-lane said: Could you tell me the origin of this video? It’s from The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum’s Troll-ey-ology series. Although if MTP or Peirot Lunniere had posted this statement on MF a few years ago “Five to eight people kill themselves and 43,000 come to watch each year”. Reactionaries like Twatlock and Amadeus would have called it trollology. I just hope it’s not the new marketing slogan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladys Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I switched off when he explained about the 7 kingdoms seen from the top of Snaefell. England, Scotland, Wales, Southern Ireland, the Isle of Man the Kingdom of Heaven and, of course that well known kingdom, Northern Ireland. Dick. I hope he doesn’t do tours. I see he opened with the official IOMG insignia, was this cleared? How is the inquiry into the crash going? 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was tempted to let him off had he omitted the kingdom of heaven but he didn't. It's worrying that he can't get these basics right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
