  2. It is in the original Douglas power station, North Quay, Heywood place, adjacent to the Saddle. the Saddle
  3. mollag

    Firm closing

    I wonder if the Licensing cost to the Gov was a factor ?
  4. I am an Electrical engineer, I did supervisory/ inspection work for DC for a few contracts. I would be interested to hear the difference between a lightning strike and a "Freak" lightning strike πŸ€”
  5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MX1PYq_qvd4&ab_channel=RobertoLorenzo
  6. Not taking the urine but everywhere i look in print someone is holding up "Mental Health" issues as a get out of gaol/ sympathy grab, from drunks in court to our esteemed politicians. Are they actually mentally ill or just hinting enough to sail close to grab a lower sentence/ sympathy without the need of Psychiatric care ?
  7. I visited Kastellorizo [Meis]a few years back just for the hell of it. πŸ™„
  8. 6/9 is sneaky πŸ€”
  9. Time for Xmas cracker humour---"Where's ya bin ?" [add next line, 2 of 4] πŸ€”
  10. I was threatened by Elvis today, please dis-prove, no more details forthcoming.
  11. When under pressure, a grab for sympathy is common, fictional faeces through the post is tried and tested, our employees [who we hide behind and have to face the people we have offended] are being threatened , we have been reliably informed, Good headlines, likely nonsense.
  12. MY response to the bin wallahs this morning was to be there at 6.30 with a case of beer and a tin of bickies " Cheers guys, merry xmas, it's not you, it's those tw@s you work for" We hear that a lot was the response.
  13. Hope in vain, re use sheds were closed due to a light sprinkling of rain, please dump your re usable swag into skip 3, DC recycle Kings ? my arse, it was far better when the Murtagh's ran it
  14. I was hoping to visit the amenity today with some goods for the recycle shed, what chance it will be open, I understand there has been "Issues" in the past with weather, surely these are resolved now?

    The only place I recall issuing them over here was a very young Paul Howard opening his shop on Windsor Road , circa 1972 😎
  16. I assisted a poor old Lady who had slipped on ice just after the bridge from the Museum to the car park lift, I say poor as she only had 90p in her purse πŸ™„
  17. Many years back there was a Lady MHK who chose to use the stick, instead of the carrot, to beat the public with, "Polluter pays" was her catch phrase, she was dumped never to return at the following Keys election, can anyone recall her name now? Will this be a repeat of the same ? To choose the stick over carrot and dismiss those who object as "Moaners and Whiners" is surely a Bye Bye political decision. πŸ€”
  18. Scheiße sprechen, for the want of an alternative?
  19. I predict much "We hear you" and maybe "Lessons have been learned" kind of posts after Monday's meet. I will have my stall outside the Hall selling Free Range eggs, and for those at the back of the meeting, Long Range eggs. πŸ˜‡
  20. Are we not already charged for waste services within our rates and Gov tax ? to many it seems we are paying twice. I would like to see the emphasis of penalisation for waste transferred to the originators, ie, Manufacturers. We end users do not demand more plastic packaging or cardboard, these decisions and creation stem for them, not the end user.
  21. The open uni ran a prog a few years back, basically outside of a 100mile radius of the processing plant is uneconomic and negative in terms of outcome. Fuel and transport costs being the killer. What chance the IOM?.
  22. Should that not be "Trollers" from the American fishing method of casting out a line and bait, then reeling in for the fish to bite ? Often mistaken for "trolls" who live under bridges. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolling_(fishing)
  23. Just a perspective post, this is a visit from the German Blockade running submarine , the Deutschland, worth a google. Also worth a skeet is what's behind,----"Newson's" . You will spot the centre section without it's roof, it collapsed in earlier times and was never replaced. To the right, the bracing plates are visible, installed as the structure was "Bagging", heading for collapse. The date of the image?----1920, --So, over a hundred years ago, this structure was heading for collapse and yet there are folk who will tell you it must be retained and restored, at someone else's expense of course. Knock the bugger down, it's not my heritage.
  24. Like Manx Radio, we will be having this same conversation in 10 years time, Money pits liberally supplied from the Public purse. God forbid it should be spent on the Public. Who wouldn't get used to free money on a regular basis ?
