I wouldn't trust the water authorities adding anything to the water , they would 'screw up a two car funeral'. As Roxy posted there are downsides to the addition of fluoride . Just saying

Section 37 of the H&S at Work Act 1974 states " where an offence under any of the relevant statutory provisions committed by a body corporate is proved to have been committed with the consent or connivance of or to have been attributable to any neglect on the part of any director, manager, secretary other similar officer of the body corporate or a person who was purporting to act in any such capacity, he ,as well as the body corporate shall be guilty of that offence and shall be liable to be proceeded against and punished accordingly" Given the above I would be interested to learn why Mr Longworth was not prosecuted. Similarly perhaps no action will be taken against the CoC and the Motorsport team in the event of yet another fatal incident at "Casey's" on the mountain ( 5 "offs" ,2 fatals) by the H&S inspectorate. I have correspondence confirming that the CoC deems air fencing unnecessary and would hope that in the event of another fatality he should be prosecuted under H&S A W Act and/or charged with manslaughter but expect that the IOM mantra of "lessons have been learned" ,will be trotted out which they demonstrably haven't. just saying

The 'digger' was on top of one ton bags of ballast in the river bed ( raising the river bed by about a metre)and access for the digger was gained by taking down the wall diverting the river into the road on the night when a weather warning was given of heavy rain . I remember commenting on the stupidity of the contractor on the afternoon before the flood. the Digger's bucket was being used to mix a concrete mix and make it easily available to construct a 'salmon ladder' on the far side of the river . To claim that the digger and the hole in the wall were not contributing factors to the flooding of properties adjacent to and further down the road is demonstrably a nonsense . Just saying

Absolutely spot on . The post by 'thommo 2010' inferring guilt despite the prosecution offering no evidence demonstrates exactly what sort of despicable individual he is , however I can't say I'm at all surprised as mud slinging is his clearly his MO . This spineless police apologist may have been a bit more reticent in posting his scurrilous post if the individual concerned was in a position to involve "our learned friends" and had that been the case perhaps the mods may have invoked a ban and deleted the post ( see posts removed in relation to RTA involving a motorcyclist @ Hillberry) but that won't happen because he's not rich or important enough.

The media, the individuals involved in the prosecution and legal system are permitted to act under the cloak of anonymity and as a result demonstrate their complete lack of integrity and common decency. Reminds me of a friend of mine in London who witnessed a violent burglary at a MC Donalds (he was stabbed during the incident ) , the local press presumably after been given the SP's for a pint or two by the local plod ran the story giving details of his name, address , place of work etc.and said that he had been helpful in identifying at least 3 of those involved ! The effect on him was devastating and he ended up dying in misery prematurely . Stu, perhaps if all the 'scroats' who released the information to the press and the editor of the rag were be identified (complete with their addresses and telephone numbers) they may perhaps realise what shits they are .Just saying s

Similar experience with my old mum, only difference is that she didn't want to go ( while her head was OK ) which is fair enough. Terrible at the end but she had her wish of 'dying in her own bed in her own home her own time '. That said I would regard anyone who stipulated that I could/should not end my own life impertinent ,they should just fuck off and mind their own business. I would not presume to advise them how they should conduct their life/death and would be grateful if they would afford me the same courtesy. I have a friend who has a stash of pills , sufficient to end his life , when ,in his words "has had enough" because he would hate to incriminate his friends/relatives by asking for assistance . I salute him and in a similar position would do the same. Just saying I

"rugs socks and sausage roll" ?

Don't know but given that there have been 5 "off's" at Casey's including 2 fatals while I was marshalling there and the CoC/powers that be still refuse to accept that the installation of any fencing/ cushioning is necessary I wouldn't't be holding my breath. Just saying

Just received an email from IOMTTMA ( 16th December 22)confirming that the directors of the IOM TTMA are folding the company on 31st December 22. without holding an EGM claiming that as they claim they cannot establish a full list of 'members' they cannot hold an EGM and are therefore winding up the company. The TTMA ltd took over all of the assets of the IOMTTMA without consulting it's members following a IOMTTMA EGA which was adjourned as members had no information in relation to it's assets and liabilities . At that meeting it was confirmed that the IOMTTMA had 230-400-600( ?)voting rights 'members' . The TTMA ltd had two voting rights members and stated "because the current membership base (IOMTTMA) does not reflect the makeup of the association as a whole'🤣and ( the TTMA ltd with2 members with voting rights) would "enable all those people actively involved in delivering marshalling services to have a voice in it's running rather than just a small number". Oh and "The new company ( TTMA ltd) and it's members will be ratified by the department" Frankly is it any wonder that many local marshals/IOMTTMA members are giving marshalling a swerve?

I remember a consultant in that field of medicine saying "Wayback it was the VD clinic , we all knew what that meant , then it was GUM , then they included 'sexual health' so now we are known as SHAGUM !"

Perhaps but as rodents are primarily nocturnal I suspect the brown 'long tail' that was attacked and consumed by a gull (I've seen them consume dead long tail's) may have been disorientated as a result of being poisoned by 'Warfarin". I've culled quite a few staggering aimlessly around my property . I bait for long tails (in Onchan) as there is a resident population , perhaps encouraged by the gulls on the cliffs (the peregrine falcons/kestrels/sparrow hawks may help by taking a few chicks). I have no desire to enter the "bin debate" as frankly it's all a bit pointless , as I find the predictable gratuitous insults from 'forum experts' a bit tedious .

I would be interested to see the evidence for your allegation . Edwin Chadwick's report resulted in the 1845 Public Health Act leading on to the 1875 PH Act ( and the 1936 Act)which amongst other requirements dealt with the provision of dustbins and the cleansing and scavenging of land etc , the reason for weekly collections of dustbins was based on the lifecycle of the house fly. LA's also had powers to deal with accumulations of refuse (either offensive or providing harbourage for 'pests' eg rodents ) . I would venture to suggest that if refuse is allowed to accumulate then the rodent problem will get even worse. I do not dispute your claim that you have no idea when your dustbin is emptied . just saying

Kathy Brighton , if memory serves, may have an inkling , I wouldn't know I've never inkled .

Errr ....... unfortunate turn of phrase .........perhaps , on second thoughts I'm saying nothing

So you'll be giving it a swerve then ?

I heard that the other applicant for the newsreader job could speak perfectly clear english , unfortunately he didn't fit the job spec as he was too tall .

Perhaps Gladys, could the same be said of this site ? To date I have not been banned on that site yet😉. That said I do miss the contributions of many ( I hesitate to name them ) who no longer post on this site and only look in from time to time out of idle curiosity .just saying "Flowers"

Harry there was more than one , 3 if memory serves(?) . The one that flew to Dusseldorf was 'GAPNB ', I was a 'baggage loader' ( £8 .12 shillings pw) and, as I was one of the few that could read and write ,was responsible for putting the appropriate catering on the right aircraft. the Dusseldorf flight was the only one with a 'bar- box' (which had to be taken off before the ground crew got their hands on it ! 😉🤣!)

Pity, my ex mother in law lost a couple of stone with one of those vibrating belts........... Ripped her leg off ...... I'll get my coat

Sid ,60 years ago "British United Airways" operated out of Blackpool Airport flying Dakota aircraft (with one flight a week going to Dusseldorf ) and was perhaps slightly better than the time you refer to (when the aircraft resembled a 2 CV with wings😉). BUA had a few more staff back then

'clearly' you are either drunk , deluded or stupid , I drive a 21 year old Skoda , have a word with yourself

Spot on , in addition to promoting events that fail they contrive to prevent events proposed/organised by independent individuals , presumably because they hate to be embarrassed when , for example, a bunch of OAP motorcyclists successfully organise "Jurby Day" . However , credit where it's ,due Rob Callister ( he who presided over the destruction of the iconic scoreboard ) proposed that the same group should organise a 'motor cycle event' in the winter .

Wouldn't you be better off trying to be less offensive ? "wealth" is relative ,that said I'm quite happy to be driving my well maintained Skoda . I also choose to ride a vintage motorcycle thanks . You may choose to drive a swanky EV , don't have a problem with that but do not presume to instruct others to make the same choices , hope this helps. Your last paragraph demonstrates that you 'understand' very little ( you provide no evidence for your assertions )

Spot on, the Gov CS self appointed experts stopped the VMCC Jurby event by stipulating expensive and IMO entirely unnecessary "requirements" while at the same time choosing to ignore and abdicate responsibility for obvious rider safety issues on the TT/MGP course . Funny old world.

The houses you see are "in" Onchan and pay Onchan Rates , but don't let the facts put you off posting inaccurate information . Hope this helps
