  1. From Isle of Man: Photographic Memories, this is what the the site looked like in 1896. Anybody know of any closer-up photos of the old Victorian site or even its interior?
  2. What became of the kids who accidentally started the fire?
  3. It did burn down years before I was born. I am saying you could "sense" that something bad had happened on the site even decades later.
  4. The newer Summerland built in its place always gave me the heebie jeebies as a kid. I didn't realise until years later what had happened there. You could just feel it in the air that something horrible had happened. A weird sense of claustrophobia. That is why I would like to see a relaxing garden area instead of a new building on the site.
  5. I'd like to see the whole Summerland area cleaned up and converted into a nice garden. No new buildings there, just nature.
  6. The greatest movie of all time is Gone With The Wind.
  7. It doesn't necessarily mean they were complicit. The parents may have been warned/threatened to back off because if the involvement of people high up. It is no secret that the ruling elite in the UK are largely a bunch of paedophiles.
  8. Catholics weren't/aren't they............says it all for me to be honest. Yes, because we all know from history that Protestants would never be involved in anything dodgy.
  9. Just because someone is a mason doesn't mean they won't be investigated.
  10. Well this is obviously where humanity has been going wrong all these years. Thank goodness for you. Humanity has gone wrong all these years because it has been led by sociopaths.
  11. Certainly but what about all the other missing children about whom we hear next to nothing? Do they not deserve justice as well? This is what winds me up about this case. So many other children go missing or are abducted each year yet very few get the coverage this case has done. I have nothing against the McCanns - this is all due to the media! I believe children everywhere deserve justice. That's why I am against wars. The media has a lot to answer for. Every night there are countless people living on the streets and yet we have Peter Andre and Katie Price and other knob heads on the front pages of the newspapers. People need to realise that news is nothing more than entertainment designed to keep us distracted, divided and afraid. We're easier to control that way.
  12. I am not really interested in how much they're going to spend. That poor girl deserves justice, whatever the cost.
  13. I never tire of watching this clip. Buzz Aldrin punching that SOB is one of the most inspiring things I've ever seen.
  14. This is why the Isle of Man needs a Bill of Rights:
  15. Mr Wright, Who exactly is "the state" defined as? Who gets to proclaim "L'etat C'est Moi" in the Isle of Man? The Queen? Tynwald? I was under the impression there was some sort of ambiguity about the Isle of Man Government's legal existence, and that each department was a stand-alone legal entity -- can you confirm whether that is the case? Personally, I think in a modern classical liberal nation, it is the electorate who ought to be regarded as the state, and the ultimate arbiter of sovereignty, but I appreciate that we still live in the 1500s.
  16. I hope that one day when I grow up I can learn to ride my bicycle without the stabilisers like Mark.
  17. When Cavendish starts to use his platform to speak up against injustice, to be a voice for the voiceless, then he might go on my list of top Manx people. Until then, he's just another bicycle rider.
  18. I believe billions of people have ridden around on a bicycle.
  19. No offence to Mark Cavendish, but I believe the Manxmen who put their lives on the line and fought in WW2 might have a better claim to that title.
  20. The last movie I saw was Walt Disney's Tangled. I rate it 10/10 for having good storyline, good characterisation, good humour (especially the horse), good graphics, and good singing.
