  1. Just why isn’t the Ben used? As far as I can see it is must be politically motivated for some reason. Time for some noisy protests and sit ins on the boat. If I was getting off loaded I’d be blasting my horn all round the dockside and harbour as I turned back round and sat at the gate again. Or refusing to get off and just sit there, in the lounge with a grumpy face on and folded arms for the camera. Bloody joke of a situation. And again, I am having to put off customers jobs because of delayed parts or repair items.
  2. The price is a standard TESCO Express mark-up for the Express rip-off.
  3. Standard TESCO Express price difference. Linky How much were they in Shoprite?
  4. Just stop arguing amongst yourself and shut the F U C K up.
  5. Ah, that’s a pity. I fancied getting my drive done over in tarmac.
  6. Bet the caller had a studio quality phone service too! While we are NOT having a whip round for a spare set of specs for Phil, can we have one for the bloke with the crap 'phone so he can call another station instead?
  7. Yet try to obtain an new card from them and you have to submit DNA from 8 generations and supply statements form the start of the last ice age - forward to the next one, on A4 paper approved by the Pope, delivered by a fleet of Unicorns. They should be fined for not being fit for purpose - there is no way on earth they could contest that.
  8. Car crash again today. Do you think someone could buy Phil a spare set of glasses to keep at the station? Actually, scrap that .. he might become a regular.
  9. Are we playing Bullshit Bingo for this? I don't expect many 'firm hands on the tiller' probably more 'scalpel' and 'surgical cuts' from Dr No (more money).
  10. You think we have problems. Check out this - 'obviously stoned when the idea was thought up' road planning idea. Big read squares painted to show a 20mph zone. That's a lot mown down school children you can hide there.
  11. No. It took 1 to Google it. 4 to show number 1 how to Google it. 7 to ring GTS to ask why internet wasn't working and 14 chase up the request. 10 to discuss the font used for the press release. 12 to cut and paste what they found on the Gov.uk website. 15 to hold Health and Safety, Inclusion, gender, ethnic and disability meetings. 30 to keep the HR records and 150 to oversee the whole process. That'll be the road tax up next week then, FFS - this place really IS turning shit isn't it. ETA - Stu, as my MHK - what the actual fuck is this all about? What a complete jizz down the toilet of tax payer cash.
  12. Linky DJ Steve Wright, who presented programmes for BBC Radio 1 and Radio 2 for more than four decades, has died at the age of 69.
  13. Don't understand this choice - it will only alienate her voters (probably the plan). It's like putting Stu in charge of cycle lanes - (although he will probably say he uses a pushbike everyday to get to work and do his shopping and that he can often be seen in Ramsey after a healthy dash over top standing up on his pedals).
  14. Hold on. Don’t count your chickens just yet. You may find you still fall at the first hurdle.
  15. They’ve got to that part of the ‘look, I’m doing something’ pile.
  16. Make a nice housing estate down there - you could call it Ballacannotbearsedtoopenagain.
  17. New plans in for the DoI part of the junction on the corner at Balthane Industrial Est.
  18. The bypass is not getting any closer - it looks like there has been some industrial units built where the road was going go, and some big earth banks the other side. At least the Whitestone pub has tidied up it's appearance a bit in readiness for all the new residents to come in and get a ding-ding meal or gammon and chips. (#roll on the 80s)
  19. Recently used it. The message is quite clear and a couple of drivers where told to switch off engines until called forward. It comes right after the bit about wet decks and tow balls. The one that really pissed me off was the electric hybrid in front of me with the driver sitting with his foot on the brake and the high level brake light burning the back of my eyeballs out.
  20. No one used to work for tourism. (apart from one lass I know who got fed up with the lack of them doing anything and left. No it wasn't Daftne).
  21. x-in-man

    Jury Duty

    Mrs X has been called twice too. (not Port Erin) One of them may have been for me, but as I am job excluded they probably just chose the next one on the list for the address.
  22. That's less that the price of a pint, every day for a year. (thought I'd get that in before Stu Peters).
  23. I saw the question - and thought Jason again. I read it and saw Air Vice Marshall Baron Admiral Ashford and thought - oh yeah, of course - deep fake.
  24. Could not - or would not? Plenty of foreign nationals claim not to understand the English language when it suits. In my experience, the words 'passport' and 'I can take you cash and cards to pay' is often enough to get them to remember how to speak it.
