  1. Planning Notices went online only years ago, which I thought was a bad move considering there are still many who still aren't online. Also I was disappointed when the Divorce Notices stopped being published - they were great skeet!
  2. I only listen from mid-day to 1pm these days but I do like Phil Gawne. When is he on these days?
  3. There was someone called Kerry with a shrieky high-pitched voice on at lunchtime today - awful Don't listed to MR much any more but are there no presenters left with a nice Manx accent?!
  4. I like Andy Wint's programme - there's much more variety and he has much wider knowledge than the last presenter!
  5. Should be Fastyr Jedoonee now.
  6. Not just poorer nations. Trump and his right wing evangelical puppet masters are shutting down family planning and abortion clinics in many US states.
  7. No matter what the supposed 'new sound' will be it'll certainly not be immediately recognisable as being broadcast from the IOM. Tune into RTE1 and you instantly know it's Irish radio!
  8. My expectations are low! Blue2 adverts are cringworthy. I remember a few years ago Stu Peters saying that he was going to set up a media company to produce the adverts here (or am I wrong Stu?). My pet hates are the voices used, eg the woman who does the Manx Telecom ads, the one who does the stairlift one and any that use children's voices
  9. You're full of shite hissingsid - were you Viper in a previous form?!
  10. I'm one of those that likes Manx Radio
  11. I listen to Talking Heads most days Stu because I like your style (some of the time!), but can't stand the constant flow of fatuous texts you read out from Gary From Ramsey and Frank the Fact. My listening experience would be so much better if you limited both of them to one text per programme and try not to encourage them by sniggering at their childish sexist comments
  12. I like Phil Gawne, he speaks FLUENT Manx and he doesn't have a whiney blah blah voice! So there!
  13. Stu, the only MR programmes I listen to every day are Talking Heads (I notice you're getting quite philosphical recently - suits you!) and on Sundays the Mannin Line. Plus all the Manx Gaelic programmes when I remember. Rest of the morning I have RTE Radio 1 on because they have such lively. humerous and intelligent discussions. I don't understand why people complain about the music (and programmes/adverts generally) when they can easily tune in to other channels or listen to their own playlists on itunes or whatever. There's such things as volume control and off-switch (I rush to turn it off at 3pm for the incredibly annoying and sanctimonious 'Thought for the Day shite!) then on again for the news at 5 o'clock. Then it's telly time
  14. You like Country & Western, yet you don't like 'rubbish music'!!! Maybe you should write to the new boss asking for a half hour programme just for you - you seem to think you're special enough!
  15. There is no god! When will prople come to their senses in this day and age and realise that all religions are a scam?! I despair at some peoople’s intelligence Remove the charitable status afforded to religious groups!!
  16. I watched the highlights programme - lovely except for the ceremony itself with its endless religious mumbo jumbo!
  17. Completely agree. However on MR news recently there has been some very biased reporting on the abortion reform issue with pro-lifers being given air time to express their views without challenge. Yesterday for example some woman called Joss or Jess stated that abortion was murder from the moment of conception and that late term abortions were included in the abortion reform bill for 'no particular reason', which was a downright lie and went unchallenged.. Today Lord Brennan QC was given free rein to waffle on about his concerns, but no mention was made of his high ranking position in the Catholic church and the trust he set up to further religious advancement.! Surely there must be a code of ethics for broadcasters regarding biased reporting?!
  18. Get well soon - lovely though she is Beth definitely doesn't play devil's advocate and Andy Wint just annoys me. Every time I hear his name it remonds me of all the people who went to the trouble of sending him photos and other contributions for his book, which still hasn't materialised. If he just announced that it was too mammoth a task and will never see the light of day I'd have more respect for him. Hurry up back please!
  19. I was recruited to take part in a Mori poll about my daily radio listening habits last week - surprised myself that I actuually listen to MR more than RTE1 even though I only switch over to MR for Talking Heads, the news at 5pm, Countryside and the Manx Gaelic programmes The rest is shite!
  20. Your posts are ridiculous - please just give it a rest and spare us from your weird grasp of reality!
