Just why?
Kid went into school with a knife and threatened a teacher recently from various comments I've seen.

You'd think this would be the case with most people, but I remember seeing the huge queues outside IOM Bank, Athol St during Covid. Then someone sent me a cheque for something and then I had to join in the fun!
I understand, but I can just take a photo of a cheque and deposit on my phone.

Haven't stepped foot in a physical bank in 10+ years (maybe once to sign a mortgage doc). There's no need for them to the majority of people, so you can see why it's economical to scale back operations.

Must have been a while ago. Unless there is flooding, there shouldn't be any sewage in Douglas at all do to it all being treated by IRIS. I think the Summerhill sample must be contaminated by the stream somehow. Do they still have animals in the fields around Fairy Glen as it could potentially be from there or higher up.
If Douglas has surfable waves, Laxey is usually twice the size and more sheltered. Although with potentially more poo.
Yeah was a long time ago and I was living around Strathallen Crescent at the time so just a hop over the wall. Laxey by the harbour wall is good.
Kitesurfed Douglas a few times on an easterly and the creamery outfall area has a sickly smell. Fish probably love it though.-

Weird innit!
I can only assume that the Summerhill Stream flowing out from underneath Summerland was somehow contaminated. Or maybe they did the testing on different days. There is a combined sewage outflow at Pt Jack, but this is only belching out shit under flood conditions.
I've surfed at Summerhill end on a rough day and it stinks, fighting floaters there all day long, bleurgh.

The turn of the Millennium was the start of the decline. That said, Douglas was like the bloody wild west when I first started policing it in 98, and I'd come straight from Blackpool Licensing Unit!
Standards needed to improve and they did. The frequency of people getting the shit kicked out of them went down.
Bit of wild west was all part of the fun. Spoilsport.

New levels reached today.
That job did not exist, nor did it need to.
"Would you like to help address one of the most important issues for humanity and the planet?"
Things to note
"This post is a limited term appointment for 2 years."
So not that important then.-

All Manx are come overs originally
Wrong, I can trace my family back to tetrapods when we came on land from the sea 390 million years ago.
There's no way we came from Liverpool.-

Today’s April Fools joke is the Castrol TT scratch cards.
Nah I'm not fooled, it's exactly the sort of thing that would get thought up here.

I see our useless and totally inept Chief Minister has been hitting the NPM airwaves, trying to extol excuses for his poor performance, this time, blaming communication issues with the budget! What a total Walter Mitty.
Perhaps if he employed another squadron of IOMG communications officers, all on fantastic salaries, with additional great terms and conditions, then maybe the adoring public will greet the budget 2024, with joy and happiness?
Maybe it’s best the CM Cannan either keeps his mouth shut, or better still stay in the pub all day, as I’m sure the island can run its self easier without his input!
I thought that was today's April fools joke.
Hard to tell on the IOM though, pick any story and it's a joke.-

Since 2014 there has been plans for this area of Douglas but they are only aspirational.

I'm still waiting for Douglas 2000 to get finished first, get to the back of the queue.

I'm surprised how easy it was for them to carry out the attack, walk out and escape (granted they were caught later) and then it took authorities 1.5 hours to respond in Moscow. Added they had warnings from intelligence chatter that attacks were likely.
Lots of stuff doesn't add up. -
Crazy how quickly it went. One minute you are driving unaware and the next plunging into the river. Awful really.
