I've been recommended engineered wood flooring rather than laminate, it's sort of the same principle but it's "real" wood (sort of)

I think it's about £20 per sq m. so possibly a little pricier than laminate.

I'm all for having a project like this in the Isle of Man. If it's private money as well, then who is complaining.

 

My reservations are, that for a long time I've heard people say build a multi-plex , bowling alley, etc like they have in England. Yet will that work in the Isalnd. I don't know. Sometimes though I do get the feeling that there's a mentality among the locals that just because there are facilities like this across the water then we should have them over here. If we can fill them and someone makes a profit then tally-ho away we go.

 

However on my recent visits to the Palace cinema lately I have been surprised at the low number of people watching films. Are there enough people out there who would support something like 'The Wave'. And I mean in the long-term, when the euphoria dies down and the novelty wears off, not the short-term

 

Yup - a market of 80,000 people with little other choice. I think some people stop frequenting places such as The Palace Cinema, because the facilities just aren't up to scratch.

Agreed, I love going to the Cinema but I never go over here because it's grotty, too hot, too small, smelly and generally shit.

better to build a bridge to the mainland, so I can get off this awful, smallminded little backwater every weekend .The Island makes small town America look sophisticated.

I wonder how far they could build it with the 40m for the runway instead?

If we could get it most of the way they could put a ramp at the end and we could all jump for it?

"If you don't like it........................."

Watched The Invasion & The Brave one over the weekend.

Both good, Invasion is modern take of Invasion of the body snatchers.

The brave one is a bit slow to get into but is pretty good too, it's briefly got Sayid from lost in it.

In some cases I can see the one car thing working but not all, just because someone has two cars doesn't mean they drive them both at the same time (that would be entertaining), maybe they have a dirty great landrover to tow something heavy but because they are reasonably enviromentally aware they also have a little 1.0 citroen for daily commuting, why should they be penalised heavily for having two cars when only one is used on the road at a time?

Legislating one car per household would be an instant solution, and is perfectly manageable for pretty much everyone.

 

or you pay a large premium if you have a justifiable reason for having two...funds to go in to development of public transport system.....

If we can keep the helicopter, jetpack and hoverboard you've got yourself a deal.

Helicopters and Jetpacks for all?

Motorbikes = the way ahead

No more congestion (unless it becomes like india )

And no parking problems!

Shall I take my consultancy fee now?

28weeks later last nite, what a pile of shite...not even robert carlise could rescue it...the first 5-7minutes was great, but it just collapsed after that...avoid avoid avoid

 

Meh, I thought it was OK, not as good as the original but certainly watchable, although having a fitting epileptic as the cameraman wasn't such a good directorial choice, it gave me a fucking headache to watch it.

 

Any film that has the best zombie scything scene since Brain Dead gets a thumbs up from me!

As with the first one I found it interesting seeing London empty and having the Isle of Dogs as a camp was cool!

Sunshine, pretty good film, bit far fetched and the missus didn't like it but I thought it was good, also interesting to learn that *SPOILER WARNING*

you can survive in space (for a very short space of time) with no suit on and suffer no long lasting side effects, I was always under the impression that a Total Recall style body exploding would happen the instant you were depressurised.

yup, got out of car with letters in my hand to post and deliver. They got blown away by a strong gust of wind. Still one missing with a £300 cheque in it. Reward for finder

Or a £300 pound reward if your willing to change your name to Mr Inlande Revenewie...
