There is of course the qualitative and quantative balance - one suspects that Moorhouse could ask 10,000 questions and yet still fail to identify anything of value.
-
Vox pop is one thing, the privacy of the voting booth/ballot box will prove a more reliable verdict.
-
You may be right Roger, and one does suspect that the gravitation pull of CoMin is at its lowest ever ebb. Lots of them do think that Watterson is a whopper however, so it’s all to play for!
-
It would have been much worse. Everyone would have been wearing mauve loon pants and orange tank-tops.
-
…and I love you all!! Edited to add - Bizarrely, having just typed that, her name suddenly popped into my head…Janet Webb. I didn’t even know I knew that!

Well looking more broadly it’s a bit daft that Tynwald saw fit to allow Quayle to influence anything more significant that the choice of toilet roll.
-
Yes. Not because Skelly has any ability, but because, like 99% of Manx politics, this decision will be based on matters of personality, not logic, reason or evidence. Too many of them regard Watterson as the class know-all. And CoMin will, I would say, lobby against him. Quayle made his position clear.
-
Skelly will become President as too many Tynwald members dislike Watterson’s clever-arseness.
-
Maybe not purposefully.

Judea 33 AD I think.

I wonder if Mark Cavendish cycles to work?

Past the guard tower, avoid the searchlight beams, dodge the Alsatians and the Bloodhounds, through the wire…and away!

Most of them are so inarticulate that’s encryption enough. -
Errr…hello…LibVan?

If they’d stayed here we would of course have had: ‘B…B…B…Bride Talkin’ ’Snaefell Mining Disaster 1897’ ’Baldwin Again’ ’Massive Granite Sets’ ’(No-one on) Holiday ’’Saturday Night Fever (1886 Punch-Up remix) ’Ive Got To Get a Message To Juan’ ’Fights on Broadway’, and of course ‘Stayin’ at Bride’. ’ ’ ’

Dah dah da dah da daaaaah

Whoever told him those trousers were a great fit needs a good kicking too.

TBH I don't think that's particularly brutal Roxanne. It's bang on the money.
-
Yes. Brother of Chris P. Bacon.

I see that in their headline story about 'active travel' and Tromode Road Douglas on the website, those masters of the English language in the Manx Radio newsroom have deployed 'muted' when they mean 'mooted'. The two meanings could not be more different. Cretins.
-
Incredibly, Skelly looks to be a shoe-in for President. So I’m told by an MHK. (Not Skelly!!). Mind you, a non-job for a non-brain. In that event, Watterson will stand for Keys again and be re-elected. Whether he is reinstated as Speaker is another matter of course.
-
Yes they will, on the basis that they’ve not had enough time to either piss people off or reveal themselves to be talentless chancers. (I’m not saying they are, just that if so, it’s too early to be sure).
-
Well there’s a clue in ‘Manx’ Forums!
-
Perkins has been an unquestioning establishment foot-soldier who has taken care not to rock any boats (if indeed foot-soldiers come into contact with boats!). Undeserving of re-election in my opinion.
