woolley Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 10 hours ago, Barrie Stevens said: I think until recently anyway the IOM sounded air raid siren tests. I believe they still do, every quarter on a Saturday morning at 11am. We were heading for Ard Jerkyll on a weekday a few years ago, and the siren in Foxdale suddenly started up as we drove through the village. Instead of sounding the all clear steady note for a few seconds as in the routine tests, it did the rising and falling emergency wail and by the time this deafening and ominous din had gone on for a couple of minutes I thought I'd better put the radio on to check whether Armageddon was at hand. Turned on Manx Radio. Adverts as usual, so I figured all was well. Speaking to someone from the village it apparently isn't unusual for the Foxdale siren to go off message.

There is literally no comparison. The Isle of Man could continue to function perfectly fine (probably even better) without the sloppy, amateurish excuse of a 'national broadcaster' that is Manx Radio. However, I suspect we would all notice a difference if the police, fire and ambulance service disappeared. I'm sure there must be some people (although an ever decreasing number) that still like Manx Radio, so please don't get ideas above your station and start comparing your station to something of national importance. Manx Radio should recognise it's place, and not get above its station. I'm one of those that likes Manx Radio 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Peters Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 FLF - please hold your breath waiting for that. One of my claims to fame reflected glory is that I was one of the first to use Steve Coogan professionally. In fact I made the demo showreel cassette that got him Spitting Image, and produced the first corporate video he appeared in (for CIS in Manchester). I DO worry that I may have been an inspiration for bits of AP - I had a Phil Collins 'No Jacket Required' denim jacket in those days and bought my Lotus Esprit in 1990 when he had an MX5. I also have a sheepskin flying jacket and like Abba... 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he seems to have a passion for it. He is the voice of the tt and will rightly be revered in 20 years time. Jo pack's alright too. He is the voice of the tt and will rightly be revered in 20 years time, a bit like Jeff Cannell and Peter Kneale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
