Sentience Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 (edited) Not sure who to direct this at DOI or Onchan Village planners? There are just two ways to get out of the Turnberry/Fairway areas in Onchan. Through Lakeside or via Harbour Road. This morning, they (?) are 'surface dressing', many of the roads, which DOES NOT INCLUDE CORRECTING THE DREADFUL POTHOLES AND GENERAL BUMPINESS, AND....YOU'LL NEVER GUESS.....both exits have barriers up saying 'no entry'...BOTH!! You really couldn't make this up, plus having to explain to pleasant but embarrassed workmen how this was not the best of ideas. Sorry 'bout your hospital appointment! Sunningdale Drive is a prime example of third world country off road driving. But there's loads of money available for those vanity plans that OUR elected can put their name on a brass plate for! Sadly we never find out the name of the clown who signs this sort of project off. No cure for stupidity!...still.

2112 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Shakespearean Tragedy more like - A Comedy of Errors Meanwhile Alfie, Allinson, and especially Ashie would view all of this froth as - Much ado about nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Comedy of Errors is, unsurprisingly, a comedy not a tragedy. Timon of Athens is, arguably, a tragedy, where the title character hates his fellow man and does nothing for them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

code99 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 (edited) Our dear leaders are mostly living the Life of Riley, but all ordinary residents can do is to Carry on Screaming. And that is a real tragi-comedy-comes farce of the political reality on this Island, i.e., what once was a Good Life is fast becoming Ever Decreasing Circles.
