I don’t understand why we want to change Douglas to a city and what the advantage of that is. If anyone knows of any advantage please let me know

Will they have room for the Ben AND the Manannan? The Manannan still has engine failure and probably needs to go back into dock

SSE 37kmph apparently

Has all the restrictions regarding Manxman been lifted now? It is windy as hell blowing a hoolie and Manxman has just left for Haysham 🤔

I put in a spurious random email address in every time. Comes up with the message “thanks for subscribing” 😂😁

So you are saying that those restrictions have kicked in since the last time the Ben My Chree was in service? 🤣

What speed restriction does the Ben have and why?

So again…..Why is the Ben not ready to step in when the Manxman fails to sail? It has crew and engines are ready to sail.

So has the Steampacket announced why Manxman failed to sail last night? Maybe if there was a little more communication and transparency from SP, people might be a bit more understanding and sympathetic. Also why is the Ben fully crewed and engines started every day, if it is never called upon to step in when the Manxman fails? where is Arrow and why is that not now used for freight when the Manxman fails?

Just watched the most boring display of fireworks I have ever seen on Douglas Prom tonight accompanied by the most ridiculous choice of music imaginable. What a fecin liberty

I wanted to keep my car insurance local with Kestral but the quote that came back was 4 times more expensive than Direct uk and for less like for like cover

There are some far better cafés than Niarbyl. The last three times I have been there I have been very disappointed with both staff attitude and food quality

I wonder when or if Douglas Council will ever admit that the new LED lighting on the prom are totally the wrong choice, not fit for purpose and once again a total waste of rate payers money!

Jeeeesus you couldn’t make it up could you 🤣 So that’s the LED street lighting AND the traffic lights that have both failed due to the fact that they are not suitable for the conditions on the promenade

I thought these traffic lights for the horse trams are manually controlled with a fob used by the conductor 🤔

You live on the prom and yet you have not yet realised that they have all developed a major fault? 🤣 they stopped working soon after “isle of pride” and not been working since!

So you think that the current lighting on Douglas promenade was the right choice? Despite the fact that they have developed a major fault and have not functioned correctly all summer season! They are clearly not fit for purpose and totally unsuitable for the environmental conditions here on the Island. I don’t ever remember any issues with the old lights and festoon lighting.

Anyone know what has happened to the new led lighting on the promenade? It has not been turned on again since the pride festival!

I find that very hard to believe. It’s pretty obvious that they have developed a major, if not catastrophic fault.

Does anyone know if the new Led coloured lights on Douglas Prom are faulty? It seems quite bizarre that they have not been lite up properly since The Pride weekend. For the last few weeks (including MGP) none of the coloured lights or top cones have been light at all. Broadway has some of the top led cones flickering, and if you walk the whole prom during the day you will notice a hand full of the lights are on, indicating to me at least that the whole prom led light system could indeed be faulty! if anyone from Douglas Council knows the situation of the functionality of the new street lights (or lack of) I would be interested to know
