Make the "scraaap metal" fella a 24 hour DJ with a fresh copy of 12 Gold bars by the mighty "Quo", more turnip growing advise & everybody would be happy.

Bring back "The Castlereagh Line" & the fat Policeman reporting on the theft of milk bottles in the early hours of the morning.

Can we have more Judith Ley? That Ben Hartley is far too wild with his music selections.

I'm surprised how "The Little People"  have gone from being something to be feared in such a short time, any believer in Manx folklore would stay well clear.

"Peace of God and peace of man,
Peace of God on Columb-Killey,
On each window and each door,
On every hole'admitting moonlight,
On the four corners of the house,
On the place of my rest,
And peace of God on myself".

The original DVD is pretty good apart from Charles Guard's dreadful sounding 80's synth track, the composition is fine & I like his narration, but the terrible dated sound needs updating from when a Casio was the pinnacle of technology.

You can wrap it up however you like.

But murder is still murder.

 

I agree, take responsibilities for your actions.

Juan Turner was the best DJ Manx Radio ever had, second only to Ben Hartley even Norris McWhirter would bow down to their musical knowledge.

What a bell-end.

Put a collection box slot & pretend faeries are real, within a few weeks the Muppets will have paid for restoration, problem solved I thank you.

Don't forget Jade Goody, the state funeral was a fitting tribute to the true "Queen of hearts".

Top mullet!

Back on the subject of local bands, who remembers the island's very own glam rock outfit Fallen Idol?

Wasn't that the boy band who had more make-up than Barbara Cartland at a wedding? Stripper-gram transexuals as I recall.

The lead singer of "Smokie" lives not very far from the QB.

And Smokie in 1975 or '76. It was before Alice and all that. And obviously way before the er, revamped version.

They hire expensive consultants so that when it all goes horribly wrong they can plead "But we hired the best advice available..."

Subtext : Not my fault then.....

Just ask Buster.

Although there are some few and far between good brewery pub staff, there are too many who seem to be just surly and sulking, and see the customer as disturbing their Facebook/fag time.

'Tis the Manx way.

The sewing machine tables were the first to go & then Jurby Junk. Antiques roadshow will never return unless that Rachmanin slum landlord can step-up to the mark.

Show me the money.

Knock it down bring back the wooden shed with giant mushrooms outside (honest) with none of the pretentious crap served up a "cuisine" at inflated prices.

Can't possibly be better than "Legally Blonde".

Really,even better than "Spiceworld?"

Thought they'd given up years ago.

"Does that work well, only watched it in German with the English Subtitles".

So did I, just pointing out the option.

"Come & See"

Better than your average war films, not quite as harsh as the reviewers seem to think. Comes with an English dubbed soundtrack if you don't like subtitles. 8/10

"Downfall"

Much better than I was expecting, also comes with an English dubbed soundtrack. 9/10

Rise of The Foot soldier = 8/10 very good, but a bit harsh in places on the old ultra violence, real horrorshow in places.
