It is unique and it’s the first quadruple in the world. It has an alcohol content of 10%. Bit much to expect the CM to be trained at RADA mind. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Newbie Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Having just listened to the Mannin Line today you have to question the future of the IOM. It was wall to wall with batshit crazy old biddies calling in nearly crying about the borders starting to open up. The Island is really starting to have a proper Wicker Man vibe about it now. I had to turn the radio of before I took a hammer to it listening to the moaning old bags. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of. Eventually. Go out and get pissed and that, and while Boris shakes hands in hospitals I'll just snuggle up to Davie in front of the cameras.

Wrighty, your loyalty is admirable but misplaced. But certainly in the letters to the newspapers (which is what I mentioned) there weren't an equal number, but 100% wanting borders closed, TT cancelled etc. Here's a typical example of the start if one letter, which continued in much the same vein: Here's another, 'horse has bolted' etc. Regarding the writers of history, I am sure they will not be harsh on our government, not one bit. We have a troop of spin doctors and a cabinet office to sort out that particular aspect.

I dare say that if you were elderly, frail and very vulnerable you would be as worried and you would be justified. You can’t possibly know how the feel. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s time they just locked all the old folk up and just let everyone else just get on with it. They don’t need jobs to pay the bills so they could happy stay indoors for another year and wouldn’t be affected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man tunes into radio station only listened to by batshit crazy old biddies, to a segment only contributed to by the absolute top echelon of batshit crazy old biddies, then is so outraged by the views of the top echelon of batshit craziness that he has to switch off his own radio before he smashes it to smithereens with a hammer. I like it, reminds me of a short story I once submitted to the readers digest. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
