    You can’t have been there while I was there. Had a few seven hour plus lunches there. That’s where Michelle Mone complimented us on our staying power.

    Boot’s enjoying a 78 night cruise around South America, apparently in the owner’s suite.

    No, It was sold to Cooney from the Channel Islands in the 80’s. ETA and the Demesne Rd property was already owned and used as a warehouse for a number of years beforehand. It used to be a builders yard (Creer Bros?). McArds were the builders used to redevelop the site. Nothing to do with Dandara at all.

    The whole form is crap. If you never listen to radio Q3 you have to say what times you listen in Q4

    I only remember it because the Douglas Motorboat & Sailing Club had it for a few years and spent ages refurbishing it, opening up the rooms and making the floors level. I think the back part was about half a storey different from the front. Because my father was a member I used to get dragged down with him to help.

    Cotswold in Liverpool is similar. Note the climber model on the wall above the escalator

    Yes, when a show runs out of sensible stories

    Do they have a use by date, or is that just for the contents?

    Used to see stacks of coffins at the Highway Express warehouse in Balthane.

    After they’d had to ask the DOI what it was meant to be.

    I’m guessing you live in Onchan Andy so very likely the same bloke.

    I’ve a storage bench by our front door (not visible from the road) where our postie, Dave the Hermes guy, and Manx Independent / DPD leave all our parcels. Never had a problem with Hermes deliveries but Parcel Force 24 hour tracked seem to be a disaster for us. The worst was a £1,400 camera delivered to an address four miles from us with absolutely no similarities between the addresses.

    Ah, another fan of Booth’s. Surprising how many people are.
  24. The Old Git
    I’ve blocked you a couple of times, not now obviously 😂

    We accepted it for a while. They used to have to pay some poor sod to sit in their office on a Saturday just to do manual authorisation of card transactions.
