  1. Article comparing English speaking countries delivery of infrastructure vs elsewhere https://archive.ph/Fv1yR
  2. It’s not quite as simple as Israel good, everyone else bad.
  3. I don’t get this thread. Yes most in the echochamber don’t like progressive, lefty wokeflake politics but I wouldn’t say there was either a disinterest in alternative views or that Joney is doing anything other than being consistent with her position / politics re Palestine.
  4. Sounds like they don’t know who it is at all or shit coppering. I had first thought it was some local extras on the big drugs bust (or a packet or two out of the car being looked for) but the longer it goes on…
  5. The Residence Act was Peter’s work. It could work well with lifting WP restrictions, keeping out crims and old people.
  6. The sea services agreement is minimum crossing numbers, maximum fares, a % of fares at a discount, specifies types of vessel. What’s wrong with that? Most other things are regulated and quite rightly the state takes an interest in lifeline goods and connectivity for humans. If left to the market there’d be freight and no grumbling know it all passengers for most of the year.
  7. It was shit even while the VAT was rolling in and has been shit since and will be shit again most of the time forever.
  8. https://courts.im/media/3418/sog.pdf Monday next week
  9. I had sciatica earlier this year and ended up going to a local chiropractic clinic. I’ve had 12 weeks of traction sessions on lower back and been given a decent exercise regime and all seems ok since. I’ve seen a lot of sports physios over the years and there’s lots of crossover with what they do.
  10. You’ve cracked this consultancy lark.
  11. They’ve done loads already - https://www.tynwald.org.im/questions. Fortunately the media were off over the summer…
  12. Except for Ballasalla GPs are private operations, although they get paid and indemnified by the state, so the answer phone is not a Manx Care issue.
  13. It’s an IMO requirement to crew a vessel in harbour and 14 days on/off is pretty standard. That seems to be the sticking point and from employer side it’s probably a ball ache to roster anything shorter.
  14. A fine choice of experts you have there Ricardo.
  15. It was bought as a registered building and has been left to go to shit. The owners now say it’s beyond repair, ignoring that enforcement re regd buildings and planning application assessment now is in each case referenced against the condition as at date of registration.
  16. From memory didn’t he resign from DfE around the same time the 100k population and no work permits policy was approved by Council of Ministers - he’d have had to have driven it, never mind being collectively responsible.
  17. Could be about patients fitness e.g those in and out of MH treatment and who might be interesting subjects for reality TV or about ambulance service, TT responders etc. all the blue light stuff on channel 5.
  18. There’s a definite disconnect between quality of services, schools and infrastructure between the current offering and the type expected by the sort of 100k earners that the hnwis business owners want to attract to their businesses. I don’t see the Chamber of Commerce coming up with any solutions to that any time soon. There really is a grown up discussion to be had about tax which doesn’t involve Government is shit.

    Dead!

    FFS it’s an old horse that died after retiring. I’m sure sniffer dogs die at some point after they stop sniffing out cash and drugs.
  20. Landscape pictures in a portrait world. Good job they don’t do weddings.
  21. Has that legal spend been properly procured? Council’s got form on that if anyone remembers the plumbing and beach clearing.
  22. Wisebuys on bucks road opposite The Islander.
  23. Where’s Skippy with this news. Gone quiet hasn’t he? The gobshite who cried wolf, again.
  24. I don’t think it’s registered (listed). It’s got a horrific add on or two.
  25. Just need Ballaughton and Clinches to go up as well.
