There are too many sh1t hospitality businesses on the rock, for the population. End of argument

I would give her a few Ferrero Rocher if she asked nicely and signed a NDA........

I don't believe it was butter

No I cant....

I aint been to Japan yet so I would imagine its a lot lower there 🙂

I cant believe I am agreeing with you, but on this subject you have it bang on

Says the person who changes the paper in the printers at Starship Enterprise...........

Is that like Glamping?

If we have the tech to have self driving cars in busy citys how cant they do something similar with planes? Lot less cyclists up in the sky to deal with................. And women drivers, sorry pilots.

So don't answer my valid points Dave The old Boat in the morning don't work any more babe, the boat only goes when there is an z in the days name As I have said many times before I have 3 children on the rock, it concerns me greatly, and I think about it daily, as apart from 8 family members being there, I am a guarantor on 2 of their mortgages. I claim my £5 as you are either August May December MLC or allowed an IOM Gov issued iPad in the starship enterprise without a lock on posting to non gov websites..........

The IOM has from the beginning of modern history survived by smuggling, tax evasion, more recently "Wealth Management", Payroll stuff and the like, and its nothing new. All immoral industries that make a few a lot of money. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with making fortunes in business, if it is moral but I don't think most of the rocks bigger "industry" is. Robbing the poor of money - AKA eGaming, is just the latest morally corrupt thing. What other industry advertises on the TV telling their customers how not to get totally addicted to their product? I don't remember in the old smoking days adverts from Marlborough saying " Smoke our cigs to look like a Marlborough Man" but please don't smoke too much as it will f7ck you up? It is in the Manx economy DNA This was undetectable properly until the introduction of them dam new fangled computer things and GDPR which leave history, you cant really kill a computer. You reap what you sow.

No you meant Mongol which is a very offensive word for people with Down's Syndrome You retard......

"Irish" bars were a bit of a thing in the late 90s early 20s so I am sure it will fit in well for fraggle rock. BUT I have a lot of Irish friends from the Island of Ireland and they think of those type of bars like a warped Disneyland and would not even enter, never mind be sick in their rest rooms* . More urgently, you lot need something to cover the loss of all those Chinese Banks/ Mafia/ Triads businesses' which now, does not look like it can continue to fund the pit of the IOM CS and what will you do to replace that income. Come on Dave, have you had your house valued recently? Where is your pension being funded from now you have lost the golden Goose???? *The sign of a proper session.

Basically kids are assholes to each other 'Twas always so Now they can do it 24/7 It is part of growing up and teaches you how IOM CS works (without the beatings)

I know, we did ask you to leave

Back in the early 90s I was seeing a lady that was into water sports. One summer day on a trip to Laxey we got in a small inflatable dingy and paddled toward the empty pontoon at which point, when we were out of sight of everyone on the beach she showered me and I returned the favour. We did not get ill. Snowflakes these days......... 🙂

"We will endeavour to get back to you within the next 2 weeks" "Thank you for your email"

Jack You have always come across as a sensible poster and had some horrible abuse on here, because you are not Manx and know what you are talking about, but I disagree with you on one point above From my experience on the rock, there is/ was always too many businesses chasing the small amount of residents. 85K is a small amount of clients for any company In my old experience, someone comes up with a good idea and a few months later someone else has set up a copy/ similar business in competition and messed up both operations Maybe the hospitality sector needs a good clear out of not good businesses? Harsh comment I know, but that is just my take on it.

If you dont like it there is a boat every hour to France down my way...

My wife is a teacher and she has never taken a day off ill unless she genuinely had a sore finger or thumb, Pick on another industry. What is your involvement in the 2008 banking crash? I would bet zero as you were only filling cash machines with notes out the back of a G4S van.

"Access to government grant and loan schemes has become overly complex" Was always so when I was on the rock Filling in a form for brain dead CS that had no interest in helping because if they did help you that meant they had to do some work............

Wrong mid 2000's Health and Safety on the rock followed CDM regs from the UK They have been updated on the mainland since but you cave dwellers are still with the old regs. They are less onerous BTW on the mainland now.

Hundreds FFS The Prom job had 6 PR bods over the 2 years from what I am told

If they become insolvent then they have big issues. Not really going to happen though is it.....
