And it looks like your glass is half empty. (fair points though)

Whatever happened to the old street lights? Were all those 3 legs that were in the auction from them?

It's not altogether certain who and what drives the classes of the TT these days, just as long as the Island is filled to capacity it's ok. And this past decade or so, that may well have been good enough. Back in the day the Isle of Man TT drove the industry. If a bike was tried and tested on real roads over many laps, then who could ask for a better advert. These days it is more the industry in charge. But as long as the campsites, pubs, B&Bs and restaurants are full it doesn't really matter. Things will have to radically change with the way the world is going, such as more emphasis on the marmite that is the electric bike, full circuit internet broadcasting etc. Then it may survive. The Isle of Man's high;y unique position needs to be seen as an opportunity

The hearing was told the restaurant owner had initially refused to make a statement to police, and customers who’d dealt with Dimitrov that night now had to be traced and might have to quarantine themselves. Little fucker should be banged up too.

Aye, we had cheap stuff here. It's rarely mentioned or admitted to, but a big factor for the holiday industry was the cheap booze available on the Island. Oh, and all day pubs. For many that was paradise. In the 1980s, UK started afternoon pub hours so we lost out there, and we couldn't compete with cheap sangria etc in the sun. We just have to watch the situation in UK and see if there is anything we can offer people that they don't get at home. It looks like the continent, due to Covid and Brexit, is going to be a bit of a no-no.

Be careful you young people. This is Katie's story: https://gefthemongoose.com/blog/i-have-covid-19-i-am-ok-others-wont-be

Then you is a knacker. So for example what about the big team/s of legal advisers on 'both' sides (there was only ever one side - and they all wanted more of that lovely money, money, money).

Too fucking right it is. In fact it is a scandal that it isn't a scandal. They all got away with it. The greedy , nasty, spineless, greed-ridden gets.

A bit like the woman who eats a water melon with her legs open to keep the flies off her food, I think the Promenade is doing a very good job of taking the focus of stuff like the MEA huge mega loans scandal, IRIS, incinerator and many more.

You're right of course. And yes aren't people stupid. But I wonder what you think about the people who designed that previous (albeit temporary) layout?

The IoM Gov will not release such detail, and even The New Messiah on the matter, our Rache, has proclaimed it thus on Twitter. I think it is useful to know such details, not for pitchforkian reasons but to be aware of how and where an infection has arisen.

Yep, the road layout is back to how it was before. There does need to be warning signs that the layout has now changed (back) with maybe a footnote "...ok, we fucked up"

Aye Manx Forums is sheer hell but to be fair, Facebook makes this place look like a cool, calm and collected retired professors debating society.

Amongst fear and fanfares they wheeled out the Guvnor to tell us someone had copped their wack

It would probably make more sense to give people £50 to be tested.
