I wonder if our chief Minister 'Green' Howard would care. This ride reminds me of something out of Family Guy (or was it The Simpsons?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of a better location than Shaw's Brow. Just behind the Courthouse for easy access to all the under age jailbait that they seem so keen on. Or maybe the one above Finch Rd. Next to the Tynwald freakshow. They'll be even happier there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PmJ Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 14 hours ago, Cypman said: They have constructed a very high quality car park (for only circa 34 cars) in the small remaining space on the Summerland site. It has a new concrete entrance, electronic warning lights for the tram crossing and has been newly laid with tarmac and marked out However, the entrance remains gated, but I expect it will open this week in time for TT. I wonder where the Fairground accommodation caravans are going this year ? !!! My vote would go for them to stay in Manchester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Yes, agree completely, failing that at Jurby near to the Hilton for easy access. Why this tat is encouraged god knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 When there was no funfair at TT 2009 wasn't there a huge outcry from the 'Manx public' with mass wailing and much criticism of the Government? Personally I can't stand it, but would expect a similar increase in pitchfork sales should it ever be stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gettafa Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Get rid of the fair and bring back the lap dancers and strippers. Neither is my particular bag but it's what is good for the TT. (It was a while ago, in the Bike Shed, well they did ask and I counted 17 piercings, never found out where the other two were) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prism10 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Well I saw that some of the barriers went down at Queens Promenade yesterday. I could even do a U turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On The Bus Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Shame they concreted over the bit in the middle. Would have been good for a trials course/scrambiling in TT!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Flint Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Can anyone cast any detail on the latest rumour; the rails we bought aren’t compatible with the wheels on the trams. So we now need to buy new wheels.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An articulated trailer was being driven down Peel Road yesterday with 3 pairs of "rail type" wheels as its cargo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Hedgehog Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 There was a horse tram going along the prom today on a test run so we can probably file that rumour under bollocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Wonder if the "Cabbage" would have the right wheels? Then again, would it be capable of crawling the length of the prom before croaking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
