I'll certainly go to as many games as I can, but then I like my football. I was surprised at the lack of advertising at the match. MT, NK construction and Robinsons was all I could see, so it doesn't look like many businesses are getting behind it. 

To be fair to the clubs that have attendances below or around 100, they have bigger clubs on their doorstep whereas we don't. I'd assume the 400 or so in the jump in attendance was for the corporate/complimentery people.

How do you think I feel? I'm in a 2 bed ground floor man-flat.

I wonder if the miracle herpes email address is a cyber threat?

Well she managed to stay on just long enough to be at the Governers swearing in party?

Felt like that when I went to a local tv shop about a month ago and the bloke didn't know what a Portable was.

And a dose of it.

Five pages in and I STILL don't know what this rumour is meant to be. Got to be a record even for MF.

Why don't Afgans watch the news?

Because of the Telly ban

Can't pull the wool over your eyes.

To be honest, after asking the origional question, I didn't expect the thread to go like this. It's excellent. As an aside, I too used to call it Gansey beach @Declan, because that's what everyone called it. There is a close on the Ballafesson to Colby road called 'Carrick Bay View,' and in recent times, I've called the bay 'Carrick Bay.' What I find almost strange are the houses on Shore Road. Their addresses are Shore Road, Rushen. It's as if they haven't been designated a town, village or hamlet.

Yeah, the headland is Gansey Point, the mill is Gansey Pottery, the beach people would call Gansey Beach is actually Brewery Beach and the bay people would refer to as Gansey Bay is Bay ny Carrickey. Point being that Gansey Bay isn't really a real term even though lots of people use it.

I's assumed @roddershad asked the question knowing full well the answer.

I certainly did. I've lived all my 51 years down south and it just surprised me that 'Gansey Bay' was mentioned in a manifesto. I'd expect a prospective local MHK to know the correct name. Pedantic? Yes.

Where is Gansey Bay?

The 'White City Wallopper.'

Not your cod or haddock type 'fishy' either. This is the full sushi platter.

I knew the puns wood start soon.

The residents of Laxey really need to get organised if this mess is to be sorted out. If they wait for the DOI, nothing will happen and they'll be flooded again. This could be the way forward for Manx politics; well organised pressure groups and their local authorities, forcing Government's hand on issues that need urgently addressing. Government is in a state of powerless paralysis; completely unable to make decisions or act on them because of the dead hand of unaccountable chief executives with their armies of managers; and local business interests blocking Government's every move. 

Tonights weather forecast is for lots of standing water and the risk of flash flooding. Good luck Laxey, it could be a long night.

Could explain why GBM gets so little coverage.

Sorry but I have to go back on topic. Any suggestions for Stu's playlist on Wednesday? Twisted Sister, I Am I'm Me for me. 

My money is on Stu being reinstated on Monday.

Mr.Maguire to be given the 9-10pm slot with Our Stu back in his 10pm-1am.

Yeah Malew Street at the junction with The Crofts.

Anyone know how Stu's tempory replacement is doing? Has there been any comments read out?
