  1. AT LAST!!!!!!

    http://www.manxradio.com/newsread.aspx?id=37424

    Island theme/leisure park mooted

     

    FELTLAND!!!!!!

    (incorporating the Manx museum of Felt)

     

     

    What a load of crap, and the whole of Tynwal backed the idea.

    Whois going to pay the costs of the boat fare to the Island, where will all these 100000s of visitrs going to stay and thats what it will need to turn a profit.

    Just goes to show that these people we voted in live in fantasy land

  2. I just really want to see this go through and will give it my full support in Council. Its a great idea and as a parent, the facility will be a godsend.

     

    Just the sort of nonsense you'd expect from a town councillor who cannot see through this little charade. It is never ever going to happen - you'd have to be stark staring bonkers to even consider this £30m project which cannot possibly make money or provide a return on investment at any point in the next 20 years.

     

    Its a typical Sefton Group development - get plot, stick sign up saying whats going to go there, get planning, sell plot or sell project on. No brick will ever get laid on this site so stop fooling yourselves.

     

     

    Just the sort of response you expect from a cynical forum poster, who is an expert on all subjects.

     

    and yours is the sort of mindless cretionus optimism that thinks any company is actually going to spend £30m in the biggest recession in living memory to build a facility that cannot possibly ever make money. Maybe you should go down to Lord Street and look at the other plot that the Sefton Group has that until recently had a sign on it saying "Planning application in for - a cinema, casino, hoverport, starship docking terminal, flavour of the month DTL grant funded amazing widget and thingy factory etc, etc, etc"

     

    Its a carpark with outline planning and a big sign on it; and as usual this is a load of old bollocks and at least some of us can see it.

     

    AND CAR PARKS MAKE MORE PROFIT THAN ANY HOTELS

  3. I wonder if a Gun is being held to Governments heads, heard that they want the land for free or may divert the project to their own Walpole Av site.

     

    How is that a gun to their heads? Other bidders were interested?

     

    Yes other parties were asked to submit proposals for the site, but no figues on the lease had been discussed wth any party. Now that he Government have decided they like the project submitted and have spent a lot of money getting to this point gives the company with another site that could be used the upper hand when the price of the lease is given. Dont forget the Sefton Group already own a very large site in town that could be used. So ifthey wanted they could say give us Summerland free or on the cheap or we will develope our own land leavin the Government with another white elephant

  4. I spotted Cheeky Boy in Tescos, eying up the fresh fish counter rather sardonically before shuffling away.

     

    It looked alright to me but if it ain't good enough for him I'd rather leave it to another day.

     

    I always thought that was an election poster that had been left in the window of STB

  5. Spotted who I think was DigDave in the Chart room chippie at the weekend with his lady. The big fellow bought all the sausages so we all had to wait, :angry::angry::angry: Even wore the tee shirt with BigDave on the back :rolleyes:
