  1. A 12th of an AA battery is difficult to imagine in a single sausage. So I would use a more recognisable comparison scale. The average smallish fart is around 30mg so that's around 60 small farts per sausage. ...or around 4 super-dooper farts (those bordering on follow-through) per single sausage.
  2. Doesn't matter even if 100% vote for such a manifesto...the Chief Minister and his selected band for Comin always gets in. Not one manifesto has actually been implemented in at least 30 years. Shameful really, particularly, for example, on the affordable housing issue 90% of all candidates put as a 'top priority' in the last election. Little wonder most people have given up voting here.
  3. "Commissioner Stupidity Part 1"? We could give this its own channel on MF.
  4. Isn't there already a glaring, say 73% 'None of the above' with such as a 27% turnout? So you're essentially dealing with the same question...should the 73% actually mean something in a democracy? Should for example a 51% or greater vote turnout count, and a 49% turnout means the vote is deemed 'none of the above'. Worst case, the current system could technically get you voted in with 1 vote - from yourself or no votes given too few candidates (totally undemocratic). Would a 'none of the above' option actually increase turnout by very much in reality?
  5. Wow! Maybe you should have picked a shorter song?
  6. Clearly dentist's waiting rooms are considered a vibrant news source on the island.
  7. That's the multiverse for you.
  8. You can't get photons out of a black hole, never mind any money 😀
  9. If you could only vote for Hitler or Stalin...what good is turning up? You're trying trying to legitimise real votes that no one wants.
  10. Disagree. No vote should be compulsory. If you have 2 choices and a majority opt for neither, how is that a 'vote' at all? That's something fundamentally wrong with the voting options available. My way v the highway v what? Maybe we should consider votes with less than 30% turnout...null and void?
  11. That's precisely why I think anyone for this needs to get off their arse and not take the outcome for granted.
  12. The religious bunch will no doubt be out in force and organised that day. With a likely turnout of only around 20 to 25%, sad thing is they'll likely win the day. People wanting this legislation to be enacted need to get off their arse and not assume that the actual vote in a referendum will be anything like the actual surveys/polls. Like Brexit. Complacency breeds fools.
  13. I'm up for that...but only if we get to decide who dies.
  14. You've not been to the Outback after 2am then recently?
  15. A cop out. I'd rather an island referendum on him. i.e. an election. He's running the island into the ground.
  16. A lot of places since the 90s have either plastic or fibre glass structures...Standard Bank domes another example.
  17. Yeah, not like IOM Government have ever written idiot cheques before.
  18. Perhaps he just sits there, winding people up about any and all topics he seems to post in?
  19. Let's hope not. Covenants need to die, along with the rip off brewery.
  20. Quite a few places being stingy with the heating these days. Eating with your coat on and paying top dollar is not a meal out...and is to be avoided.
  21. Don't give up. Your balls might eventually drop one day. "I'm typing in the cloud!" 😀
  22. Christ! ...for running a town into the ground? That all needs investigating, as to who and why.
