Peer pressure, a teenager's inability to understand his own limits, those of the car, and the ramifications of his actions. Happened many times before, will happen again.........although if he wore that smug grin within eyesight of that court, he will have it wiped off his face up at Jurby. These kids have no understanding of mortality until this sort of thing happens to them or one of their friends, they need to be educated PROPERLY by the state, and watched properly by the POLICE. All these extra taxes in theory tests etc, none of them are letting new drivers know what happens when it all goes terribly wrong.

No way a single PC being wiped would remove all evidence in the medical system...100% complete and utter FACT. Also, wiped to a none IT person is deleting or maybe formatting the drive, this is NOT wiped, there are several readily available tools online to recover against both these. Wiped is a very time consuming procedure involving writing new data over the drive repeatedly, think of it like writing a word, then scribbling over it, up and down, left and right, round and round until there is no trace of the word. Basically, nobody in the investigation wanted to see it for obvious reasons, because then somebody would be accountable, not a department, a person.....and the Government don't do that. I am not judging the person(s) involved, the role is very difficult in itself and we are only human, I think the way they have released this information however is inflammatory and undermines the public's view of the way the Government operates.

I am personally of the belief that if you take a life purely as a result of your driving, with no mitigating circumstances, then a lifetime driving ban should be enforced. Driving is a privilege, not a right, so shove it up your human rights arses.

It was backed up past the Brown Bobby at lunchtime, the loss of the pulrose filter lane is a major contributor. Quite simply, the person who designed this (or told the designer to do it) should resign immediately and donate his pension to charity.

Matt, the staff should have been put on shift, much like any other 24/7 operation. Wonder how much nurses earn compared to some on the road crews? No extra cost, work gets done faster, half as many stood about during the day. Simple example of daytime overkill... The moving of the clock tower attracted no less than 30 high viz jackets to move a lump of cast iron...... (Public sector) Lifting of 40+ foot boats in the harbour takes about 4. (Private sector)

If you are wanting to go triple screen, make sure the adapter is an active one, recall all sorts of problems with passive adapters when I got my 5970.

Sweep it up, deal with it after MGP, utter utter clownshoes

"Mr Cooil was the PE teacher and was far from cool tempered, constantly throwing people in the pool and went off for a year to travel. Many speculated that he was suspended from teaching. His replacement for a year was really good. He taught me to swim better, something Cooil was incapable of." The story I heard was that one of is victims was a copper's son who duly gave Cooil a bit of a hiding, he was shufled off to CRHS where (although he was not in PE) continued to be a nasty bully, horrible man and one of those who should have ended up on the mountain gassing himself to death unlike Mrs Britner; who although she had only been at CRHS a short time before I left was a great teacher, RIP. Edited to add... Dolan Kelly - Best Primary School headmaster ever. Mavis Bell - Best Primary School teacher ever Miss 'Fleabag' - Primary School Bully. Miss Cooil - Primary School sellout. Mr Harry Tavener - Great High School Headmaster. Mr Alex Madrell - Slimy Deputy. Mrs and Mrs Moretta - Tag team of awesome proportions, great at explaining stuff. Mr Hodgson (RIP) - Ace Motor V teacher. Mr Miller - Good listener Mr Stewart (History) - Epic combover, great bloke. CRHS's Groundskeeper Willy - Let us smoke in his office when it was raining. Loads of other great and shit teachers during that time, Crazylegs Craine was ok.

Jeyes Fluid kills the moss and it will get knocked off by the wind/rain.

I was always crap at hangman, can I have a vowel please?

Is "shit stirring" not what you did for many weeks regarding the DOI workers? PL is doing nothing different to you, just another subject. I am born and bred was born and raised here and have watched as many,if not more TT and MPG races than most on here and do not see anything wrong with what PL posts on here. There are two sides to everything and everyones views should be allowed to be expressed without the threat of being banned or censored. I think PL keeps hitting nerves with some people who probably don't want to admit that a growing number of people share his views. Edited for accuracy. There is a slight difference between a catastrophic public service in dire need of efficiency, and a sporting event. The most dangerous sport/hobby in the world is fishing, more people die annually playing golf and horse riding. The Isle of Man has hosted motorsport for over a century and it is a foundation of our culture. Regardless of his 'humanitarian' drivvel, opponents of the TT/MGP are still thankfully well in the minority. He posted this crash to illustrate his twice yearly smear campaign against our tradition of allowing brave men and women to pit their skills and mettle against the most formidable set circuits in the world. We all die, some people go quietly in their sleep, others in agony over many months if not years battling terrible illnesses, some however are taken quickly, doing something they love.

I think he has latched onto the fact you are a shit stirring twat quite well to be honest.

Pierrot, I think the point he was trying to make was that if we WANT to see bike accidents, we know of the website 'youtube'. You however think that we need to see this and bring it to the local forums in order to further try and tarnish a sport which is the soul of the Island. I personally think you are jealous, as your will and courage probably only stretches to crossing victoria street when the little man is on red at lunchtime. If you don't like road racing, may I suggest you fuck off somewhere that hasn't revolved around it for the past century?

Douglas > Heysham > Douglas = 113.6 Nautical Miles @ £330 = £2.90 per Nautical Mile. Dublin > Liverpool > Dublin = 242 Nautical Miles @ £239 = 99p per Nautical Mile. Fuck you IOMSPC

I was going to go away for a few days next week, but at over 200 quid to arrive at normal times (not travelling overnight) I will choose not to travel. If SP had reasonable prices, they would have made an extra 100 quid as opposed to nothing. This is winter time, bring back the 99 quid car +2 or go bust imho.

Arsebicuits.

Dunno, where was the Ben Magoo™ when Kalana was heading out on Monday, did it sail?

I remember large seated areas with comfy cushioned seats where they would turn the lights off on night crossings so you could really get your head down. I remember free cinemas allowing you to pass the time without spending anything during the crossing. I remember being able to go to Liverpool and back for 6 quid each way. Nowadays the garish lights, wafting smells of booze and vinegar, kids crying etc make it impossible to just relax and pass the time. I did for some time hold Blue Riband just to get away from the melee especially on the Ben, but on the Cat it was merely a curtained off area with no buffer between us and the chav army. IOMSPC's business model is wholly immorral, not only are we fleeced on booking, but then have to put up with over-priced and under quality services on board. Add to that the lame engined Cats cross slightly faster than a one footed duck, and bounce about like a paper cup in anything above a force 3. Add to that the Ben Magoo which seems incapable of crossing in a straight line due to its shit hull design, and oxygen tanks required to climb the myriad of staircases to get to what is little better than a holding pen. The figures speak for themselves, 30+% profit on a low turnover is bank like profit, which is sort of expected. Any member of the company who defends this is just as guilty as the directors and parent comany. We as the paying customers have quite frankly had enough, and no longer care if IOMSPc quite literally slips beneath the waves. Hopefully, we will then get a company who knows how to operate a company properly, that can then offer us the sort of service everyone else gets in the Irish Sea. Maybe then, visitors will choose the Isle of Man again as a holiday destination as it can be reached without selling one's spleen. In short - Screw Mark Woodward and his feelings, he will get nothing from me but utter contempt.

Well they can afford to do it cheap because they carry a lot more frieght that the SP and as has been mentioned, the profits from freight subsidise the passenger fares. People are expensive to move in ferries. They want space, bars, shops, restaurants, and so on. You also need a lot more crew members to look after them. Freight on the other hand is cheap and easy to move. It uses the available space efficiently and doesn't need pampering en route. I dont recall EVER being pampered on a SP crossing, I remember being loaded into a single large room with babies crying, drunks arguing, old ppl vomiting, with the only chance of escape being the open deck in high winds, driving rain and then being told i cannot smoke because it might set a metal boat on fire. Fuck SP, fuck them in their stupid asses, 36% profit following a couple of years ago of 51% profit; they have been robbing us blind for years, and i hope they get royally fucked. I would sooner go to the UK inside a Mezeron container than pay SP another penny for their overpriced and piss poor service.

You tell 'em Bill.

I did a search as I am sure there was a recent topic on the dangers of people on these 3 wheeled scooters, but anyway, I shall harp on regardless. Driving down Peel Road this morning, and there is an Elderly guy (70ish maybe) on a mobility scooter zooming along the pavement. Nothing wrong with that I guess. Then I noticed what was strapped to the back....a FULL set of Golf Clubs. Cummon, recently finishing a round of Golf does not qualify you as in need of a mobility scooter to get home on. I am kicking myself for not having my phone with me to take a pic, as it really did look comical. If he got this on the DHSS, then I would be quite angry to be honest.
