You could have phoned in and made that point. Or sent a text if you're a chickenshit. My job is to get people to phone in - and I'm often grateful to regulars like Dave, Buster, Howard and Quirky for making the effort - unlike those who merely criticise them. And I know that the Island is pretty tribal, but you don't have to live in Castletown to have an opinion on what might be a good use for a redundant building.

hissingsid Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I think what happens in Castletown is down to the people who live there and pay rates and have a pride in the town and want to see it progress. People who have an opinion on anything that moves or breathes generally bring sod all to the table and irritate, Quirky does not usually comment unless he has knowledge, however scarce, of the subject matter, in fact I have heard more sense and information coming from him on TH than he uttered all the time he was elected. I have been on TH, not for a while but only when the subject matter affected me, Buster drones on and on about everything and anything whether he has factual evidence or not.

woolley Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 (edited) I was thinking more of his inevitability in the line up. Would Roy suit you better? ETA: I think Marje was partial to casting more than the odd aspersion in her time. Edited June 5, 2018 by woolley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolley Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I remember Roy walking the streets with his petition to save "the peoples' Mannin Line". Never did find out how many he got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the stinking enigma Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 She came across as a complete fruitcake in my humble opinion. I don't think she was acting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolley Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 The first time I encountered her she was going on about comeovers to a mutual acquaintance and she made no allowance for the fact that we were standing there having arrived on the Island a couple of weeks before. I thought, bloody hell, what a harridan. So rude. I think she wanted you to know she wasn't afraid to speak her mind. She wasn't always like that, though. As I said, she could be lovely and charming. You never really knew which Marje you were going to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marge had a good knowledge of everything Manx and had a special "perception" ? of what was going down. Don't ever think that she was anybody's fool, because she most definitely was not. Marge had a hard life and did far more than her fair share to raise a family. I have or indeed had, (as she is no longer here) 100% respect for her Those who knock her, did not know her or did not understand her Their loss. Those who mock her still need to take a good look at themselves and get a fucking life. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
