Oh my mistake. I didn’t realise she’d moved away, it makes sense ofc, she was a school friend to my daughter who also no longer lives here…(in spite of my attempts to get her to go for the deputy head of RGHS job…) Anyway, I remember her from here so she’s sort of Manx and she’s done good so - sorry for my false celebration and also not sorry because it came from a good place. Ye miserable ald gits!

A local lady won Interior Design Masters on the BBC! Isn’t that just great? Well done to her 🥰

Which is why we all pay our taxes and see them wasted on totally mental ideas, from films to solar panels and double glazing for “their mates” while there’s no investment in infrastructure. The rates (and a massive wedge left by Henry Bloom Noble) should be taking care of the parks but seemingly there is a no maintenance program at the city council.

Don’t encourage them, next thing you know the entire parks committee will have to goto the park stuff exhibition in Birmingham to decide what other rubbish they can waste money on. It’s been years since my kids were young enough for me to take them to the park and even then the park equipment was poorly maintained and a bit emperor's new clothesy. Children want swings, roundabouts and slides, it is that simple.

In true fashion of “the internet” I hope everyone is OK but did actually only come here to find out what was going on… Do light planes really need to be using the commercial landing strips? My friend has a small plane and he can land mostly anywhere that it’s flat (or at least I think that’s what he said) ETA - light planes are not the same as microlights my error, sorry

No, not at all, the majority of people that I know with drug problems had terrible lives, bad company, bad parents, absolutely nothing good in their lives, let’s be honest, if your life is so ace why would you want to take heroin? It’s not that good so anyone who takes it really does have nothing worth living for. The “have some more to make yourself better” mentality astounds me, how is anyone that stupid? I had pethidine when I had my daughter 30 years ago, never been so sick in all my days, aside from the sick, it was really nice but on the scale of fun to pain and inconvenience, I don’t think I’d have more (ever). I won’t even have Co-codamol these days & ibuprofen gives me nightmares so I’m lucky to be healthy and not in pain, I know people that became addicted to drugs their doctor prescribed, I have sympathy for anyone with addictions… off for a quick game of solitaire …3 hours later It’s never simple though.

Not really amazing, unsurprising more so 😕

Yes! The Isle of Man card has now also arrived, from Foxdale to Douglas in less than two weeks - stunning!

The post there is fine, takes a while but gets there eventually.

well… one of my cards has now been delivered- point of fact, I travelled to the Bulgarian version of Cregneash and back before a card posted before I left made it to Berkshire- witnoaf?

Neither of the cards (which were hand made) have been delivered - absolutely gutted 😕

Same story here but my point of posting was Foxdale, I posted cards a week last Wednesday ago, thinking they would get to the people before I’d get to see them… I’ve been to Europe and back (well, not quite back yet because my flight today has been cancelled) but my cards have not been delivered, one was only going from Foxdale to Douglas a pigeon would have had it delivered more efficiently! The Post Office was ace but now it’s just another profit driven pile of corporate bull, with no care or concern for its customers! Seemingly they couldn’t afford to lay people off, poor service get worse. I remember when you posted a letter or card in the evening and it was delivered the following day, shame.

31 thousand + posts, that’s a lot.

My daughter is Head of Humanities at her school (I know, very proud of her) they have mostly Muslim students and the majority are well behaved, grateful for education and studious. Not all kids are bad … just the entitled ones 😂 There was a spate of TikTok videos of children vandalizing toilets, perhaps it’s preventing things like that going on?

The majority of “I wouldn’t have a teacher telling my kid what to do” posts are by people who could probably do with a bit of education themselves.
