Are you paying for them, or is it the taxpayer ( I mean Me ) ?

I came down Ricmond Hill today, and a copper at the home for horses was doing speed checks, not entirley un-expected, but what i didn`t expect to see was that he was in a brand new un-marked "top of the range" grey touring BMW. When tynwald granted the Chief Constable an extra £3.5m in his budget, i thought it was to be spent for general policing, and not to be spent on grandio`s police cars.

It says it dosen`t effect the child, but the child has a syrian father, and was born in syria, so how does the child have a right to british citezenship ?

BC 1683, just out of interest what does the "C" stand for Brian ?

That seems to be going up by 1,000 a second.

Petition for what ?

So, is the child a british citizen or not, as not born here in the ( uk ), so would she have to apply for a visa / passport to bring the child into the uk ?, i am assuming she is out of wedlock, so no father, or if the father is in Syria, he could object to the child being brought into the uk ?

What happend to the new hanger for the private jets at Ronalsdway ( whats the cost of hiring one ) ?

They where like a coffin box on wheels, never looked terribly airodynamic to me, a bit more ( built in a shed type sort of concept ).

It must be difficult for the likes of Energy and 3FM to compete with radio advertising, when manx radio is subsidized, and can undercut the competition, and has the TT coverage / commentary to get the cream of the advertising revenue.

But do the drivers facing the back of the sign know that ?, as there is nothing in the highway code mentioning that.

But could it not just be open when it is snowing for 4 x 4`s ?

The original carrot was white, it is only orange due to evolution.

If we get snow whilst the outer south bound lane is closed off, then that is going to bring all of the traffic heading south to a complete standstill ( including 4 x 4`s ).

Why did we go from a round "Stop Sign" to a Hexagonal one ?

Was it the DOI, Colas, or the lads cowboys on the "Friary Park job" who did the Richmond Hill job ?

Who is covering the cost of this mess ?

That sort of reminds me of the number that Treadmill used to do at the Tholt Y Will many years ago: COAL-HOLE CAVALRY^^ Ted Edwards 1. Early morning, dreaming is shattered One clitter-clatter on t'flags outside Old Knocker-Upper rat-tatting on t'window Making sure nobody's overlied. CHORUS: Clittering, clattering, coal-hole cavalry Galloping, rain or fine Clittering, clattering, coal-hole cavalry Galloping down to t'mine. 2. Father yawning, drizzle on t'window More clitter-clattering coming down t'hill Stairs are creaking, oven door banging Father waiting for Uncle Bill. 3. Mam is filling 'is bottle wi' water Clatter-clitter-clatter and a rattle on t'latch Clogs in t'lobby an' talking quiet Arguing t' toss about Sunday's match. 4. Come on, Billy lad, best get goin' Clatter-clitter-clatter an' t'front door bang!! Going down to t'mucky old coal-pit Hear pit hat and snap-tin clang! 5. Colliers riding a million horses Clatter-clitter-clatter all over t'world "Look-out! Injuns, Cavalry's coming!" Picks and shovels and banners unfurled. 6. Hooter's blowin' a sound of vict'ry Clatter-clitter-clattering's over an' done All t'world's quiet an' sleep is coming Wish I were a collier - collier - collier Wish I were a collier, it must be fun!

Why is the hill called Richmond Hill", or should we rename it as Chipping Hill / Clopping Hill ?

I can`t find a deffinition on google for the word "cloppings" is this a manx word ?

-

I don`t think it is loose chippings that are coming off now, it is lumps of tarmac complete with chippings that are coming off, went up there last week, and a car over took the car in front of me and was sending bite sized bits of tarmac on to us all, but then i suppose as it is not the TT course it is not really a priority, to those of us who pay road tax.

Presumably the same mystery as the B&Q job ?

What ever happended about that, not ever seen anything in the news about arrests / convictions for those ?
