Bet the great and the good thought they'd warrant Chaz in person. I’m sure the great and the good of Manx Society will be getting in on the act, and have the opportunity to meet royalty. I wonder which MHKs will be creeping, fawning and tugging of forelocks? My first bet would be Professor David Ashford MBE MHK, the king of the DBC chewing gum machine, followed by the Peoples Prince Rob Callister. I think under normal circumstances this visit would be exciting, but having hammered the taxpayers, I think the mood generally is rather flat and indifferent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Well I tried to raise the topic of costs for this in committee recently, but was referred to the chief to ask as technically nobody outside of the councillors and invited guests was supposed to know. I will ask again as events budgets are tight and I don’t want this to affect other events later in the year for example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone knows of any advantage please let me know I've been saying for years, it's all driven by a very secretive but influential order of Quiz Masters. Where else do you think quiz questions come from? ...and how else did Ashford get his MBE? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost of the security is usually the worst...I imagine that will be government and not the Corpy? Not much happens here, so I guess we'll get the usual overreaction from the Manx Constabulary too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite happy to lend them mine if they don’t mind all the crisp wrappers and empty drinks bottles in the back. That would save a few quid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thommo2010 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 The social media comments are funny, people falling over themselves to show how much they don't care, whilst taking the time to log onto social media and post about how they don't care. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
