Roughly translated means "Your on your own Woodward old pal, we have a better offer under the table, so hurry up and go under please so we can make a few bob on this, there's a good boy."

Why not, they have been running numerous ferry services to the Scottish isle for a good number of years, the Jockanese moan about them but the are far better than the bunch of 3 legged Dingo's we have.

Imagine if this has already been envisaged and there are things in place where they could say "ok fuck of and move your boats in the morning ready for the replacement" mind you as the boats are surety for the loan they can't take the boats

They'll do what EuroManx did and not have them on-Island/within our waters when the bomb goes bang. That matters not, the way maritime law goes IoMG take possession the second the loan defaults, no other creditor has any legal claim on a marine vessel, even more so a passenger vessel where maritime law states should the parent company go into liquidation the vessel must be immediately returned to its port of registration where the vessel owners may take possession of the asset.

I think you will find if the SP went tits up the craft would revert to the hands of the government as unless I am wrong they are the surety for the loan so therefore could be seized, on the other subject I think compared to Dohle the SP is a small time leasure boat outfit so would therefore not be able to sustain a price war. I think we are about to enter some interesting times as far as sea travel goes on this fair isle with the end result of the aussies going down under.

Did you know there are already at least two other threads on this subject?

On this subject it is wise to consider they did say a couple of years ago that they would love to have a ferry route as a way of training crews for their larger freight operations as a ferry route is a great navigational training aid and I mean lets face it if you look at the couple of big flagships thy have one of those in the bay would fill it. Now when you consider they have one of their HQ's here that primarily handles crews and training what a great location for them to aquire what they want. On the bonus side they did also say they could make whatever route they aquired popular due to the fact they could keep fares down as they did not require it to make a profit just break even.

mmm employing local crews, really, so if we was to talk to the below deck cres and the catering crew we would find the vast majority are either Manx or British and it is just a coincidence that they also speak better Ukrainian than English. Also as for that Woodward ass and how his staff regard him, you will also find that most people who deal with him in shopsw etc think the same, I have been informed by several people he is a pompous prick with the manners of a halatosic baboon

Sorry I don't do serious unless it involves safewords

Nah not me, I never used a swear word or called her one name. Just pointing out we can't really compare his nick time to a group that slithered off the charges, we need to look at other financial cases that made it to court to compare. It could have been worse, Spook, P.K. or even LDV could have chirped in.

So nothing at all to compare then, it seems Kopek is the only one to come up with a logical answer the rest sound like someone moaning because they are hard done by

So they got found not guilty and did not recieve a prison sentence, in other words you cannot compare the sentence as this baines herbert was found guilty

So there was a trial and they got nothing?

Was those 3 convicted here? No, so you cannot compare them, he was convicted here therefor he serves a prison term that is felt right for here not elsewhere.

hehehehe just turned the Peel car into a portaloo

Chinahand: I think you will find that Mike usually makes it clear he is a serving police officer and I believe most people know who he is especially due to his circular emails that fly around the island concerning the latest scams.

WSAG I take it like myself you have tried several of the obvious words hehehe

ace matty

Can we have a little accuracy please
