OOGIE bOOGIE has a look alike in WH Smith..lol

So glad you never seen me on my little pink tricycle with my flowery helmet on !!! phewwww, you would think I could win the 5 to 7 years old race by now !!! lol

Tis I !!! I take my Daughter swimming Tues & Thurs and we have a look at the kids on the bikes whilst walking back to my car. Although I could have a look alike !!!

I was there indeed. The wires etc were all for show though! lol i said hello !!! remember..hehe

Oh I saw you in the crowd at the MYG as well, while I was cheering me nipper along. She won one race too, woot! Was chuffed she chose an indoor event when it started pelting down! Arr I am glad it was swimming !!! My daughter was way ahead in the 9 / 10 Back stroke, then decided to stop and turn around and carry on, she came second in the end, i was shouting my head off..lol yep I am one off "those" parents as well..hehe

Sheswiththeband enjoying an icecream on Sunday !! Hope they replaced the dropped one...lol Also think I seen Oogieboogie at the Manx Youth Games, as part off the video production team??? And then I later seen you again and said hello..lol why did you look scared..?? hehe 8-)

they chafe as well, am never wearing them again !!! 8-)

my legs are killing me and i only did a few laps off the prom..lol still was amazing weather all weekend !!

Oh yeah, spotted Cheeky boy last weekend impressively vaulting gates on the old railway line. Spotted John Faragher on his bike on the prom on Saturday chatting to the ladies. Spotted Doahdoo videoing Ans coaching people in the NSC with Knoxville there too! /stalker Was Sunday..lol

Piebaps, looking all technical at the Rugby Bowl Final on Saturday.

That is more due to the numbskulls who run the place - as an example, Watchmen, a highly anticipated film which topped the box-office charts around the world after its release was given ONE screening at the Palace. This screening sold out without being advertised. The Palace have no plans to show the film again. Plus the place is a grotty, smelly pit run by pensioners and staffed by surly rejects from Marilyn Manson's band. Watchmen has been on already?! Oh **** Hurry up and build THE WAVE! am so gutted I missed it as well.. I rang up and asked them when it was on, they told me it was not going to be...

Yup - a market of 80,000 people with little other choice. I think some people stop frequenting places such as The Palace Cinema, because the facilities just aren't up to scratch. Agreed, I love going to the Cinema but I never go over here because it's grotty, too hot, too small, smelly and generally shit. You thought the Palace was bad... what did you think off the old Summerland one...lol

If in say 2 years , there has been no movement or the project is shelved for no good reason, then I will join you in criticism. But until then I am living in hope that i don't have too, does it hurt to be positive about something for a change?

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.

"Looks really good' in what way? It has all the facilities I would like to see, the design its modern and incorporates alternative energy sources, the bigest thing is it looks 1,000,000 times better than whats there now !!

I agree that the sea defenses will have to be robust enough, but I am sure they have taken this into account. arrrrr the cave...lol memories

The issue often has to do with planning and non government co-oporation etc, things do go on behind the schenes that we dont know about and so all the blame is not really to rest on Seftons shoulders, I asked a number of similiar questions and the replys I got where honest and understandable. 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.

Heath sold it abut a year ago, if thats who your thinking of.

Here here, instead of moaning, lets get behind them and say, good on you for at least trying to make something good and better, sefton are keen to improve Douglas and thus the IOM, we all do not know the full facts behind why projects have been shelved, land bought and not developed. From what was explained to me last week, it is all for good reasons. ps they do own Paramount and the plan is to look at the site after completion of the Wave apparantly, as I asked the same question at the Council presentation

Oh sorry. Hopefully government project managers will not be involved Hope they don't pay for it in Euro's

They do have plans for the other sites, I think it invloves combining the palace and Castlemona into a single complex.

I really hope it is, as it does look really good. Just what the IOM and Douglas needs.

Yeah interesting four way MF spot that, I think Ans was the only one who knew everyone. I was stood next to JF trying to work out who Knoxville was while simultaneously trying to get the attention of my mate from Pokerstars and avoid looking at Ans' compression tights. In other MF spotting news, got blanked by Titanic, Rhumsaa AND Mongoose on the same day this week, that has to be record? you never said hello !! again..lol do I scare you..hehe arr Knoxville was the 5ive look alike sweating a lot whilst getting battered by the little kids in black tops at basketball.. or was that Ans..hehe 8-)
