Good, fuck off you waste of skin. Your pathetic trolling and need to be a complete cunt every day just to keep yourself amused is just fucking boring. I hope that was a flounce and you won’t be back for a while you tedious cretinous unfunny toss bag.

Catering/Restaurants/Pubs or anything to do with food can be a very hard business. I wonder for him, with the graft of it all it just became so destructive to him to do what has been done and this was just an inevitably of it all. Sorry scenario. I don't pity the man given what I know but I would never suggest/endorse a career in this trade and the college should make young people aware the level of work against the level of pay that it must be a career you are truly passionate about... or it will slowly eat you up in ways that are very hard to get out of.
 

I think you're being too kind. I'm amazed a man with three drink driving convictions managed to hold on to a license to serve alcohol for as long as he did. Wasn't the license in the name of his chef in the end?

Poor thicko Neil makes idiotic statement on MF again. No, but why would anyone be aggrieved anyway? The drunken idiot blew his chances up twice by getting done twice before two consecutive elections. The man was a joke.

Bit of a difference then. Maybe Dobbo just said that to feel better. 

Dobbo was just a pisshead. The attempts at Keys were just hilarious. Done for drink drinking on the eve of almost every one of them and running a so called major business empire from an Onchan council house.

Agree completely re the drink driving.

The way its enforced at the moment means the dicks who get so pissed they are a danger to themselves and others still do, and those of us who might just fancy a drink with a meal or after work don’t because if you have a completely unrelated bump, like someone running into the back of you, you will be breathalised and risk ending up in the paper, fined, without a license or a job.

I can’t remember the last drink driving serious accident.  I have a feeling it was about 29 years ago in the mountain and the law made stuff all difference.

Having said all that. I can’t suggest a better solution because although most of us can be relied on to be sensible it clearly doesn’t apply to everyone.

I know you are only pointlessly trolling people to start a fight but really. You can't remember the last serious drink driving crash?

Poor attempt at trolling. It is getting a bit boring here really isn't it as it's largely you posting all the time in every thread so I'm sure it would be nice for you if you could start a fight with another actual human being.

these pesky drink driving laws mean its just a little too out of the way.  

Nice pub like, used to drop in for a swift half on the way back from a hill climb or two on the mountain bike

It never put the owner off. I wonder how much of it is down to the fact that you probably don't make that much money running a pub when you're a pisshead?

Really ???. Very slight difference in standing then for the FSC ( still a Gov paid job and not in the police service). Still not a police job, so I was correct first time. Knob

It isn't a civil service job as you claimed. Far from it - thats the whole point of it being a separate statutory authority/board which comprises of government and non government members to oversee it.

I think you will find that you're the knob.

Is somebody getting a little mixed up here in the race to condemn the police.

I thought the Financial Crime Unit was part of the Police Service, so any retiring Policemen would not be able to join that division.

The Financial Supervision Commission on the other hand is a part of the Civil Service and not some sort of detective group.

How can they ever get mixed up ?

The FSC (FSA) isn't civil service it's a statutory authority. The FCU is a branch of the police force. Maybe you should get your facts right too?

Since the polices original tantrum  and threat of persecution on Friday evening, not a peep has been heard from MHKs Cregeen and Monkhouse. If something like this occurred in Onchan, I doubt you couldn't shut MHKs Edge and Callister up. Did Cregeen and Monkhouse, have any knowledge prior to the police making threats?

Monkhouse? I know he's a bit of a comedian but ...

Does our Police force percieve themselves as "hard done by"? Or is it just possible that they know they are overstretched and unable to cope in the event of any major incident? Hardly "petty". For sure, officers would have to've been bussed-in to police this event from other towns and supplemented by others on overtime so I can see the CC's point completely and do not see it as vindictive to the point of deliberately spoiling the fun of others, as you seem to be implying. Already the police budget is being stretched by the workload that has increased because of the burgeoning historical child sex abuse crimes, as an example, we have officers from the adjacent isle being shipped-in to cope. Who pays for that? Gary Roberts has said the same thing about policing the TT; resources for his team have not kept up with demand. Hence the mud-slinging over the spate of burglaries.

The idea of "polite civil disobedience" is a good one but unfortunately this concept is probably weather-dependent as well as the general passivity and laziness of the majority of us locals but if you'd be prepared to lead the way hboy...

Funny they can spend so much time pissing around on Facebook and Twitter then?

Its not like they need the riot police to police a carnival is it? They seem to be managing ok in Peel today? A few drunk teenagers at the worse who probably won't cause any bother anyway. It's total bollocks. Just shows how pathetic this Island has become in its need for the public sector to wash its dirty linen on how hard done by EVERYONE is in public. Oh, we're all supposed to be feeling their pain for them by having public fun curtailed. Strangely everyone else has been feeling a bit poor since about 2008 and has just had to get on with it as nobody in government gives a shit.  

It's the public and people of Castletown who suffered in this instance not the legislators (who I'm sure still don't really give a shit) so quite clearly it was petty and vindictive and the response from the people (the silent band) quite justified and an appropriate 'two fingers' to the lot of them. Government in all its guises needs to sort itself out - we're paying for these twats to act like overgrown school children and generally destroy much that was good about living in the IOM. I hope that more pathetic public acts of defiance will start occurring until people in government start to get it that a lot of their input isn't wanted and is not needed. It's only the constant self creation of bullshit and red tape that's keeping a lot of them in jobs.

The video is now on MR's (crap) website.

Proposals for changes to the bye-laws for this event have been ongoing since. 2014. I would post a link from MR's website regarding this issue but although the headlines are there, the article fails to load (absolutely fecking typical and predictably amateurish). So concerns regarding the safety and policing (iirc) have been ongoing for 3years. I reckon our most progressive Chief Constable yet, is making a salient point. It is a growing event, and necessitates policing. It has never been trouble free: albeit, usually minor, but crowd control requires oversight. I think Mr Roberts is reinforcing his view that there just ain't enough coppers, Island-wide, to maintain safety. And also to highlight the lazy legislators who failed to address concerns for 3 years.  

So it's exactly as everyone has claimed then? A petty political move by the Police to further the perception of how hard done by they all are and how their budgets are being cut back again. Boo hoo! Nobody can have any fun because we want to prove a point that's in our own interests to prove, 

So great to see that clip. They totally took the piss out of the jobsworths for their ridiculous attitude. Hopefully there will be more protests against petty government jobsworth behaviour to come as and when more pathetic incidents like this arise in future. 

What we need is more polite civil disobedience like this to counter the ever increasing wealth of senseless bullshit being generated by our over inflated state and public sector.

Moving a city business to Dublin makes sense as well. After all, there shouldn't be too much of a language issue for the relocated employees and their families.

Dublin wants the jobs too and will do almost anything to accommodate some of the bigger finance houses. If the UK isn't careful Dublin will start to become some of what London wanted to become post Brexit. Not that I think Brexit will happen now to be honest. It's pretty clear to most people now that it's a bag of crap pipe dream that's been hijacked by a bunch of largely elderly racists who are still living in the land of hope and glory. All we need is a proper house price wobble (which is on the emerging horizon) to further kill any notions of Brexit stone dead. Why would anyone foreign buy a house in London at the moment when the country can't even confirm whether you'll be able to have to right to reside longer term? The sales pipeline is slowing rapidly given that such a large number of buyers down there are non UK citizens. That will be the final nail as even the Daily Mail will go into meltdown about a middle class house price crash.

70% of nissan cars sold in the eu (including the uk) are made in the uk...

its also worth noting that the uk sales is sunderlands biggest market followed by outside the eu and in last place is sales to the eu.....

FAKE NEWS ALERT (again)

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/dec/22/uk-car-exports-soar-to-record-high

70-80% of Nissans built in the UK end up exported to Europe but that is not anywhere near 70% of Nissans 715,000 total car and commercials sales in Europe as they only build 2 volume models in the UK (Quashqai and Juke). The rest (plus all the commercials, trucks, and pickups etc) come from outside. And, back to my point, at the moment there is no tariff free trade between the UK and EU guaranteed after Brexit but there is between Japan and the EU so it could well have a devastating effect on Sunderland as I said. Maybe they'll regret potentially voting themselves out of jobs? 

Or maybe we'll just end up subsidizing their whole operation to the tune of £300m a year as we have promised to do if it all goes tit up and tariffs come in?

not any longer, its gone way past just been a ckd factory....

i was more interested how japan would direct import to the eu cars they don't even make in japan.....

They only make the Quasqai and the Juke in the UK (and the Leaf but who buys that sort of rubbish in high volume). That's all now they even stopped making the Micra there in 2010. The Juke is hardly a high volume seller so it's really only the Quashqai. The rest they will ship straight from Japan I assume so all the big volume sellers will be caught under the new trade agreement.

Hboy can't be bothered answering as Mojo answered and as usual you just used whatever he said as a stick to beat him with as you aren't interested in having a debate just in lashing out and fighting with people as clearly you don't really have enough going on in your life that you have to sit on an Internet forum all day looking for opportunities to fight with people. 

Nissan was clearly the major Japanese manufacturer who assembles in the UK.

completely the opposite, its going to take 15 years, uk can get a deal within 18 months.....

There is no way. Japan doesn't need to do a deal with the UK now. It has a deal with the EU which is a much bigger market and the UK is assembling its cars now for export to nowhere as they'll be shipping them in to the EU across the Pacific. The UK has just become irrelevant as a staging post for any Japanese goods. I'm sure all those people in Sunderland will be really pleased they voted for Brexit when their plants start being downsized and they start losing their jobs. 

49 minutes ago, Neil Down said:

What inside information do you possess that states the UK can't get trade deals?

Because Japan has just done a deal with the second largest consumer market on earth. I doubt it could even be arsed entertaining the UK now which is exactly why the EU has done it. We're a tiny little market now in the overall scheme of things and now we need a deal with Japan more than Japan needs a deal with the UK as it's got Europe on the hook. A massive own goal for all those stupid twats in a Sunderland who voted to leave the EU. They won't even have any European demand for anything that leaves a production line in Sunderland anymore when they'll be shipping container loads across the Pacific straight into the heart of the EU. 

Looks like the EU has totally outsmarted all those really clever Brexiteers who lied through their teeth. Whilst the Tories fight a leadership struggle the EU diplomats are all on jets doing deals. Clowns.
