    My understanding is a lift to floor one wasn’t in the the original spec. They went back to the builder and asked him to add one. Same guy did the work but could have added it at initial build if they’d spec’d it properly.

    I’ve mentioned this before. In the elections at Uni there was always a vote for RON (re-open nominations). I don’t think it would be a stretch for a private members bill to add this to the ballot. And then of course there’s Churchill. ‘Democracy is the worst type of government. Until you compare it to all the others… ‘

    Different racing. Mass start as opposed to time trial. But I wouldn’t say better. But different- yes. I enjoy both. I prefer the TT. And I don’t poo in hedges. That is to say, I haven’t poo’d in a hedge yet.

    I agree - I think she was in Treasury, and is now in DFE and DESC - I don’t think she’s been a member of DEFA?

    Only in Keys - not a majority in Tynwald.

    Apparently 1° hotter earth means 7% more water in the atmosphere.

    Every sitting I’ve listened to, someone (usually Ashford) asks for a vote to continue questions. Can’t remember one that hasn’t been approved in this administration. So they all seem to get asked.

    Like Bus Vannin… (I’ll just lob that little grenade and grab my popcorn)

    FYI - going rate for a project manager with experience in AI is £700 a day in London. About £160k taking holidays into account. And that’s just a project manager. £100k seems like a bargain (or we won’t be able to recruit the right person).

    Even if we have to pile money into it, I’d rather it be owned by IOM gov rather than a Private Equity fund who would squeeze it for profit and then sell it leaving the island in a mess.

    Because many of those they represent expect it and rather than educate them as to what arms length means, they interfere. It’s a lose lose for the MHKs and the SPCo

    Pesky.

    Where did you hear that? A shame if it’s true they offer a great convenient service particular if you’re off island for a while.

    Or a genuine mistake rectified once notification of death was provided. don’t shout at me. Just balancing the argument. (I don’t really care. It’s a small number in the grand scheme of government pensions)

    Most of it to people who have died but they weren’t informed it seems. Hardly a massive problem and totally understandable.
