Isn't that what we all pay into the road licence fund for?

People absolutely do take the piss. My concern is that anything too draconian, regardless of the motivations, will just make life harder for people trying to get by and doing their best to be considerate. It's a shame there isn't some sort of 'heap' clause, or, mandatory vehicle test at X age. That may be a reasonable motivator for getting some of the sheds gone. I've seen some cars about where you could get a fist through the wing, and the exhaust sounded like it had long parted company with the rest of the car.

Put a wind turbine on the Manxman and it can sneak through in disguise

So, up to a claimed 139 gigawatt hours per year is what the report says for your £30 million Wholesale energy price at the moment in the UK is 11p per kWh. So that comes to: 0.11p x 139,000,000 which comes to £15.3 million a year wholesale production. If the sums are correct, depending on the lifespan of the turbines and maintenance costs, it sounds like a winner. I imagine you’d have to really screw up to only get 2 years out of them. 3 years and you’re laughing to the bank. After 3 years, your price per kWh generated drops to 7p. By 5 years, it’s 4p Wholesale gas at the moment is 4.71p/kW. Pulrose is around 50% efficient. And that’s only the cost of the fuel for it.

Well, they will. It’s island wide. Can’t enforce for one and not the other. Local authorities are being asked for areas which should not be included in it. But that’ll just push the nuisances to those places.

Bit of a bugger for visitors mind you, and tradespersons. What do you do if you’re self employed and it’s your only transport? Even the DOI themselves send vans home with staff overnight. I’ve seen the Trafic/Vivaros parked outside homes, those are over the proposed limits.

Why would a court of law need to prove it? Can you prove God in a court of law?

Maybe God is very small?

You can make atoms, and you can break them apart too. But never trust them, they make up everything.

Joseph Smith wrote down the Book of Mormon verbatim from God. He used his seer stones to read it from the gold plates. No room for getting it wrong there. Maybe that’s the copy we should be following, if that’s the latest and straight from the horse’s mouth.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

A loosely copied and pasted post from Facebook from a complainant is hardly evidential. I could say I copied this from FB: Albert Twatmunch - I'm a little teapot Pause Your additional comment - "short and stout"

That still doesn't answer my question. How would it have gone if she replied 'I called them twats actually'?

How would it have gone if she replied to that saying 'no I called them twats actually'?

Please tell us, how does that feel?

Trying to point out 'no I called them twats' at that stage is only ever going to put someone's back up. So, my point stands. I've seen no evidence of the c-word being bandied about by the commissioner. If we see what Ofcom think of twat: vs the c word Smidge of a difference in the claims vs evidence.

Well, no. I'm reading what you're saying, and just pointing out how it could be interpreted. As you may well know, posts on the Internet are open to interpretation. Some, quite creatively, as in the case of a commissioner being claimed to have called an entire town twats.

Have you any proof otherwise? If you saw it kick off, it was another poster that started bandying it about.

“I don’t like what you said, so I’m going to repeat myself and accuse you of doing just that, I’m definitely being piled onto here, it’s all the baddy greenies”

What about mad cow disease? That’s caused by a protein put together slightly wonky, that causes others around it to also reassemble themselves in a slightly wonky fashion. If you get a clean piece of iron or steel, leave it in the rain, it turns to iron oxide. You’ve not got humans waddling about with reagents there. Just some atoms with a bit of an affinity for each other.

The church is historically a cracking way of gaining money and influence, at the expense of the lower echelons.

We’ve been knocking around for a long time, there’s lots of oral and societal knowledge. Even apes and dolphins can pass on knowledge and learned behaviour through generations. Eating slightly off seafood in the Middle East? Probably a good thing to discourage, for example. See Leviticus.

If we pick it apart, in an idiot proof fashion: The first commenter is telling us how they’re upset by the amount of rubbish on the beach. They’re then expressing that the lack of cleanliness of Ramsey makes them ashamed of the town and how collectively, it appears to be behaving. The commissioner then responds to agree, that she is ashamed of those making it unpleasant by littering, and then calling them twats. Either I’m far smarter than I think, or, more likely, it’s bleeding obvious.

You’ll note how the screenshots often have the rest of the thread cropped out. It’s amazing how much context changes things. Plus, certain individuals are getting inventive by throwing far more vulgar language into the claims, just to rile things up more. There’s at least one poster on Facebook rambling about “twats and cunts”, yet the second word was never actually used by the commissioner in question.

Anyone would think you’re desperately trying to be obtuse. It’s very clear that the “people of Ramsey” in that statement are the ones leaving it in a rubbish filled state. What can’t you wrap your head around? I’m sure we can take the time to help.
