Do the Navan Walk Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 All Gnipa to you I have just listened to an interview on manx radio with a Mr Howton. In my alleged personal opinion the chap is absolutely crackers. I would hope that there will or should be a viable alternative to Howton - in my opinion he is like well off the wall. Or if you like - Crumbs!!!!!!!!! Balladoo love for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebees Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 You lot are sooo lucky, Theo just called at my folks house, what a lovely man I'd vote for him at the drop of a hat. I wish I could vote for him, I'm lumbered with Shimmin, Corkish and retired fireman Jo - load of past it lip flappers, pft! Beyond time for an all island vote.

Norseman Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Lib Van attaching big posters to government owned railings I'm pretty sure there's some regulation in place in regards to posters, etc, during elections and it's allowed to stick them up in places where you wouldn't be allowed to during the year. I know where I'd like to stick them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he mention any reasonable policies - or did you just take a shine to his dapper look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebees Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I didn't speak to him my mum did, they talked about LPG cars being encouraged to lower carbon emissions & better re-cycling. Reducing the number of civil servants and MHK/MLC's, an all island vote, a contributory pension for MHK's. He was there for ages, they were talking about failures with current government, over spends, the Iris issue, drug problems in society (proper drugs not pot and E's) & I'm sure there was more. I got a generally good impression of the man - he was saying something and I agreed with what he was saying which is more than can be said for the bunch of 'whatevers' West Douglas has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebees Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 It was a horrible night too, when I saw him walking up the drive I thought he was taking a short cut though my folks garden. Very surprised to find a prospective MHK treading the tarmac in torrential rain, do you not like him Al? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grianane Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 he's the most credible candidate to stand against Houghton and Henderson, whether he'll be able to drag the Willaston vote from the sitting members will be interesting - both of them deserve to go IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they'll survive...on the block Willaston vote. And their defects, failings and lack of contribution to our advancement will be perpetuated. I'm sorry to be so morose colleagues but I don't seem to be able to shake of my black mood after listening to those ghastly and hideous creatures standing in Castletown. I won't be listening to many more....certainly not Malew and Santon...I'm sure suicide would ensue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I do like him, but we're not getting married or anything like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Login Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Initial thoughts on MR Douglas North Discussion was that Beth Espey was the clear winner. Unfortunatly she is not standing! Peter Hill the Liberal Vannin candidate was a car crash radio referring to the LVP as them, and having some knowledge of thir properties. Henderson & Houghton were the Bill and Ben double act you expected. It might be acceptable to have one in a partliament or constituency but two. I doubt they have much to offer a govt but probably at a local level. Basically glorified commissioners. Theo Fleurbaay probably best candidate by default. Came away from programme with not many abiding memories good or bad. I would like to listen to though again just to try and taken in his contribution better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
