De nada

The dumbed down education is to blame.

Watch out for Poker Stars (Flutter?) redundancy / redundancies before TT.

Sounds like Onchan...

Doesn't matter, every forum needs a figure of fun to laugh at...

There'll be extra posturing by our local police.

So they can cancel tonight's sailing ...

I don't think they're followers... Just gullible sheep.

He's 66, I guess he's never gonna learn now. It'll just be repeat offences for the rest of his natural.

Is Callister right...? Quote by R. Callister... It is disappointing to see some of the comments being posted online over the past few days towards my three Tynwald colleagues who travelled to Malta this week, in order to attend the 10th British Islands and Mediterranean Region Commonwealth Women Parliamentarians’ Conference. Firstly, the Manx Parliament cannot live within its own “political bubble” and I would fully understand that particular point even if I wasn't a Member of Tynwald; and secondly these trips are planned many months in advance, so it is pure coincidence that this conference happened so soon after this year’s budget. The Manx Parliament is part of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA), which links Parliamentarians and staff from over 180 Nations, States, Provincial and Territorial Parliaments and Legislatures across the Commonwealth through its network, which was founded in 1911. One its core objectives is to benchmark good governance and to set the highest standards of democratic governance. In order to help answer some of the questions or comments raised, the Manx Parliament pays an annual fee to the CPA, which according to a freedom information request a few years ago I think the fee is around £20k to £24k per annum. The CPA holds hundreds of meetings, presentations, workshops and conferences online each year, but the actual main CPA Conferences are organised in order for Members to get together from around the Commonwealth, in order to attend various workshops, presentations and to get an opportunity to network and build those very important political relationships. Although each Conference programme will be different, the activities each day would normally last around 7 or 8 hours, and that doesn’t include any formal events that you may be requested to attend in the evening. The only opportunity you get to see any of the local area is normally a couple of days before the conference starts or in the evenings when nothing else formal is happening, you really don’t get a lot of free time. As for the selection process, details of each Conference is sent to all Tynwald Members who can put forward their names for consideration, but not everyone does. If there are more Members than places available, then there would usually be vote taken in order to select the Members to represent the Manx Parliament at that event. In respect of travel costs, the Isle of Man Members always travel “Economy” and not Business Class or First Class as posted online, and as for the hotel accommodation we always go for reasonable or budget hotels unless the particular hotel has been tied to a conference which is happening on location. Once you return from a Conference, you are also expected to give a full presentation to your Tynwald Colleagues, in order to give an overview of the Conference and the benefits etc. The main 67th Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference will be held in Sydney, Australia in November, which will be attended by hundreds of Members right across the Commonwealth - it’s a massive event. Given the fact that someone has already felt it necessary to post on social media that I will be attending that Conference in November with another Tynwald Member and a Clerk, I’m happy to confirm the same. It is disappointing to see that someone did that because the only people that know about the Members selected to attend the St Helena (May) and the Sydney, Australia (Nov) Conferences are Tynwald colleagues - I guess that’s politics for you…. I’m also happy to confirm that due to other commitments here on the Isle of Man, I will be attending the Sydney Conference and then flying straight home again without extending the visit, which will be a round trip of about 10 or 11 days only. As always, I will put full details of that particular Conference online once I return home.

You thought? A first! 😜

And in a lot of cases no cocaine at all.

The idiots thrive on getting responses, I guess it gives their lives some meaning.

They? Don't you mean 'we' are paying for it?
