Can someone pull the plug on this?

I'd combine them : assisted death for LegCo?

Wanker, a selective quoter? It also reported, which you did not, Bishop Tricia says ultimately this decision should rest with the Manx public,

You didn't even remember them them coming here, though, did you? Let alone melting.

I wrote to them requesting this months ago ( not that I'm claiming credit) but I'm glad they've done it.

That's something to be encouraged.

The damage Welby has done? Here's a bit from the Spectator: When he was appointed, the assumption among many Tories was that Welby – an Old Etonian and a former oil executive – was one of them. It hasn’t really worked out that way. Welby has criticised benefit reforms, zero-hours contracts, the tax system, a ‘broken’ economic model and the government’s immigration policy. He is one of the major critics of the Safety of Rwanda Bill, arguing in the House of Lords that the deportation policy is ‘immoral and cruel’. Conservative MPs have variously accused him of sounding as if he’s a Labour campaigner, of meddling in politics when he should be worrying about falling church attendance, and of ‘preaching from the pulpit’. ‘There’s a lot of what the government says which I entirely agree with… We must limit access to our borders’ This last comment particularly amused Welby. It came from the Tory backbencher Jonathan Gullis in 2022. ‘I don’t think un-elected bishops in the House of Lords should be preaching about politics,’ he said. ‘I sadly think that there are too many people using the pulpit to preach from.’ He was upset that 25 senior bishops, including Welby, had written a letter opposing the Rwanda deportation plan. Welby responded in a tweet: ‘Always grateful for feedback – look forward to advice on what we should be doing in the pulpit.’

Three noisy sports cars today on coast road to Ramsey - dangerous overtaking and speeding past Dhoon School. Not Manx plates so obvs more idiots here for the speed.

1. He's been utterly useless. 2. He made an explicit promise before being elected and then did a complete volte face. 3. Many of those who voted for him will have died by the next election. 4. Everyone now knows for sure just how bad he is and there'll be no benefit of the doubt next time. 5. I live in the constituency and I know what current public opinion is.

Why do you think she'll be voted out? The other constituency MHK is far more likely to be emptied, especially if Gareth Young stands again. Who is going to stand against her? No big popular figure in sight.

Just a little prick?

I wonder if they'll sell novantanoves?

Just means 'frozen' but it's the generally used word for ice cream. In English it usually refers to Italian style ice cream, made slightly differently to British or American.

It would simply be Leonardo, or Ristorante Leonardo. The possessive apostrophe in English harks back to a time when we would have written Peter, his book or similar.

Jiminy Cricket clearly hasn't caught up with him yet

When I was a lad, men used to go round the streets with a bin on wheels. They had a brush and shovel, and cleaned up rubbish and dog shit. This could be part of the commissioners' duties - talk for an hour then off on the jobbie.

I gave up, too

Bet it's taxed

There are many cases where the victims, knowing what their experience will be in the process of evidence gathering and trial, have decided to withdraw from the process and let the perpetrators go free, so a proper, modern facility to ease the experience and ensure the highest standards of practice is to be welcomed. That said, it has not been clearly established that the proposed building is appropriate and that a cheaper alternative might not have been suitable. As usual the press fails to secure all the info and we're left with half a story.

They've put in place a raft of by laws concerning dogs, but they have no real means of enforcement so they are appealing to curtain twitchers to do the enforcement for them.

All appointed by the government, so fiercely independent. Ex civil servants, retired bankers, a real cross-section of society.

Premier like the inn

All the Which survey actually demonstrates is that the sample of SP customers they asked complained more than the sample from a few other companies - we have the best moaners ( something I suspect we already knew!)
