  1. Be much better to spend the money on improving the runway lighting so the planes can land more reliably in poor weather We have survived for 20 odd years with the liquid restrictions, a few more years will make no real difference.
  2. Surely in the original transfer of the land to the developer there were some key milestones that needed to be reached by certain dates or the land reverted back to the IOM Government?.
  3. So are you saying big fans are better than really powerful fans?. What about big really powerful fans?. How do you propose to make people listen and obey?.
  4. Merge Douglas, Braddan and Onchan and then we can see if bigger will really be better
  5. Not every Sunday has the two LHR flights from what I can see although it may be work in progress
  6. Star Trek "The City on the Edge of Forever" ?.
  7. Do you still get staff serving you drinks and/or food in the Exec lounge?. That facility has been dropped in the other premium lounges. (Niarbyl hasn't had it on any vessel)
  8. You also have the Indian Ocean dipole effecting things. Doesn't seem to have been an exceptionally windy winter, the more unusual thing to me was the predominant wind direction in the autumn
  9. You appear to be assuming that they would be unemployable elsewhere.
  10. Perhaps, like the roundels on the promenade, it is an unmarked junction?.
  11. Has anyone told our government?. https://www.gov.im/categories/tax-vat-and-your-money/consumer-advice/your-rights-when-buying-goods/travel-and-holidays/
  12. I wonder if EU regulation 1177 ( or its post brexit equivalent) applies to these cancellations with regard to compensation and overnight accomodation?.
  13. Perhaps government should follow their own advice
  14. Looks like a Titan A320 coming to the rescue this afternoon to operate the Man and Lpl Loganair flights
  15. But Ramsey and Ballakermeen/Douglas High schools are much older, why is this one falling to pieces?.
  16. It would perhaps help if the packet issued a statement as to when the wind limits would be lifted and what to., in my view the ship should have been specified to be able to sail and dock safely in its two main ports in a force 9. Whilst pressure and wind direction play some part in the tides it is hardly a surprise, you used to be able to buy a tide table book for the whole year yet these changes seem to be on the last minute.
  17. If it is reliably going to keep to time it should be able to do the trip in well under the scheduled time though. Managed to avoid the Manxman so far but any idea why it seems to be taking longer to unload and load than the Ben?. Surely by mow they will have worked out the most efficient way to do this and the traffic per sailing should be similar.
  18. Must be doing well for bookings after Christmas though or something odd going on. No sailings appear available in either direction for cars on 27th December. There is a 1945 to Heysham on the 26th, next available sailing is from Heysham at 1415 on the 28th.
  19. Whole building would be good for a Wetherspoons
  20. I may have missed this but I thought the plan was for the Manxman to do a few weeks of the daytime sailings followed by a few weeks of the nighttime sailings and then take over the whole schedule. It appears though that it has gone back from the nighttime to the daytime sailings again this week. It does seem a somewhat extended bedding in period. Hour late leaving this morning.
  21. Be useful to know what the waiting time for a non urgent appointment is at each GP surgery and the hold time to get through on the phone
  22. Perhaps they were not certain they could dock at Heysham, you can imagine the social media hysteria if people were forced to sit out the storm for 12+ hours in the Irish sea.
  23. The restriction on freight should have stopped any development of the terminal and saved the IOM £70m and counting
