    They have one or two members that provide substantial financial support for projects such as this, by that I mean well into 6 figures. It's their choice. Tythe or no tithe.
  2. Andy Onchan
    As I say, two sides to the story.
  3. Andy Onchan
    Wear a false beard and moustache?

    That's not what Brian Thompson said in his MR interview: https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/steam-packet-md-hugely-disappointed-by-industrial-action/

    My consultation input (if requested) would be to say, "why stop at just the Bishop? Let's include LEGCO as well.
  6. Andy Onchan
    Of course there's no guarantees but I wouldn't be surprised if IOMSPCo have a rolling operating and capital budgets drawn up for 5 years hence, based on current market conditions and is reviewed at least monthly. If I were the Chairman and/or CEO that's what I would expect to see.
  7. Andy Onchan
    Isn't it the other way around, ie, the directors of IOMSPCo have said they don't need a loan? Maybe I have misunderstood.

    There will be plenty of days in a winter when the Manannan can sail, whether they have the crew for it though is another matter.
  9. Andy Onchan
    The Ben is still in dry dock. The Manannan isn't:

    I see Manannan's out of the dry dock and tied up at the Cammell Laird fabrication shop in B'head.

    Well you're not getting any money off me until the quality inspectors have deemed it fit for purpose and up to standard!

    In my experience you won't get any oil if it's not paid for in advance, either by bank transfer or debit/credit card. I doubt there are many, if any, who have credit terms directly with the oil suppliers (of which there are two, as far as I know).

    Indeed. They could have legislated for the operator to install PAYG meters at the same time; two birds, one stone

    We can all relax, Bill's got it sorted: https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/completing-gas-bill-in-one-day-signifies-the-urgency-of-the-situation/

    The only other option is for new builds to have electric heaters built-in which will then put pressure on MUA to meet the increased demand. Wind turbines are not going to be able to take up that increase.
  16. Andy Onchan
    That's right. But then MIC subbed it out to IOMP!
  17. Andy Onchan
    I can see that new builds will be erected without any heating provision at all, not even heat pumps. Installing heating will be an optional extra and at a very significant cost.
  18. Andy Onchan
    Brian Thompson has publicly said that they are prepared to discuss individual cases.
  19. Andy Onchan
    But according to a post (NB I think) further up the thread they haven't been doing that... they've hoisted some of it out to IOMP!
  20. Andy Onchan
    Who said anything about competing? AFAIK TNT no longer exists.
  21. Andy Onchan
    But why the hell did the UKG prepay for all of the order and not in instalments? Pillocks!

    Why would that be when IOMSPCo have the Arrow?

    Of course I knew that Stu was only joshing but as you say, it's the lamest of excuses for doing fig all about giving their customers the best service possible.
