Fynoderee Manx Gin, I bought some for a family treat recently (£36 a bottle), it is nice but soo fucking dear, so much so that I will not be buying it again and will go for a reasonably priced Gordons Gin. This brand is so expensive, I would love to support local Manx industry but this Manx brand is beyond my budget. Manx to the Max expense.

I wonder whatever happened to Mr Coole the Ballakermeen swimming teacher? He was sadistic.

Agreed but to do that you need balls, sadly the guy hasn't got any.

What do you expect when the Minister is Graham Cregeen! I always blame the electorate of Arbory, Castletown and Malew for voting him in as an MHK in the first place, you get what you deserve Arbory, Castletown and Malew however in this case he is affecting every IOM tax payer. Not fit for purpose springs to my mind everytime I hear of him.

One thing springs to mind here, one of the Fairy Houses were ironically set up in Skelly's constituency, I have no idea where the others are and if there are any connection with other members constituencies!!! I am sooo cynical.

I am going to buy this DVD and thank you so much Jonny Moss for telling us all. Can I just have one tiny little rant about Jonny Moss and I do not mean to be nasty (as it's Christmas etc) but listen to one of his interviews just to see if it's only me that hears him constantly butting in and interrupting answers to questions he has asked, no offence Jonny, just let the person being interviewed bloody finish answering you. Happy Christmas Manx Radio and Stu my family love you and your great lunchtime listening and banter :-) LT

Which MHK or MLC is leading this? It smells very much of Skelly!

From above to below WOOPS 3FM eating massive humble pie :-) Lol http://www.three.fm/news/isle-of-man-news/3fm-to-set-the-record-straight/

Manx Radio is supported by an Isle of Man Government Subvention that all us IOM Taxpayers subscribe to by default! In fairness to Manx Radio their Isle of Man current affairs programmes and better local news reporting is way above the competition so at present I am happy to support their better service delivery, that said, they need to pull their socks up as the competition are literally biting at their ankles.

It is still there on Google Albert, I don't think I have the right to add her pic fella!!

Hope she has declared it to the Tax Man Lol (not sure who she is employed by, but apparently reporting for MR in Australia Commonwealth Games later this month).

OK just found it via Google Cached search - Googled 'Jo Pack £150' and it brings you to a 3FM website comment, then clicked Cache and Bobs your Uncle!!. Thanks Google.

Who is Jo Pack?

Tommy was found dead with his faithful dog by his side in the underground tunnel where he used to live on King Edward Road above the former Howstrake Holiday Camp, many, many years ago! LT

Albert You could always try this LT

So you were a Tom Boy at school then Barby Last Ten

Is that the same Brian King who is (or was) Principal of Park Road School? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's the boy

Don't know many of the teachers but here are the ones I possibly recognise (I think!! ) Top row 3rd from left - Brian Hardinge Middle row 3rd from Left - Sid Tyrer, 5th from left Putty Kelly, 7th from left Brian King, 8th from left Gareth Jones? (possibly) Can anyone else add some names to this piccie? Last Ten

Here are a some pictures of Ballakermeen and St Ninians High Schools courtesy of www.manxscenes.com Piccie 1 Piccie 2 Piccie 3 Piccie 4 Last Ten.

Dont remember Mr McGuigan, but I do remember Ernie. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Bugger it wasn't McGuigan.....it was Mr McQuillan. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think Mr McQuillan was a metalwork teacher and latterly head of the craft section of Balla. When I was there around 1975 to about 1978ish Mr McQuillan was quite strict, however I met him about three years ago at an open evening for my son and Mr McQuillan had mellowed quite a bit (probably because he was about to retire) Quite saddened by the above quote/post from The Scope regarding Robbie Teare, I just hope it is wrong Last Ten

That was Putty Kelly I actually seen the guy in Strand Street last week, didn't teach me but I can remember him at Balla... Pretty sure his wife worked in Ballakermeen as well!? Last Ten

Hitler Holroyd Yep big brother says he did look like Hitler with that moustache... Those really were the days............ Last Ten

Hi Lonan3 Does this refer to Mr. Holroyd from Ballakermeen? If so I can remember my big brother slagging him off on many occasions at he tea table Last Ten

Nice one VinnieK What an absolute cracking guy Robbie Teare was, where is he now and where is his colleague Steve Cooil the swimming instructor????? Despite what I have already said about Benny Ball the ginga woodwork teacher, Ballakermeen School was not that bad after all!!!!!!!!!!! Last Ten
