Fair enough on the road safety issue , who could argue with that. But you and most coppers on the radio come across as patronizing , I don’t always think people should have done whatever but provided it is legal who is to judge. You lot clearly always do. That’s why I and many other members ‘ of the great Manx Public’ ( most of whom are not Manx) don’t trust coppers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see that changing much very soon. Planning Notices went online only years ago, which I thought was a bad move considering there are still many who still aren't online. Also I was disappointed when the Divorce Notices stopped being published - they were great skeet! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They uphold and apply the law, and maintain their duty to protect life. It’s a shitty job, but someone has to do it. What alternative do you propose? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I was disappointed when the Divorce Notices stopped being published - they were great skeet! Especially when the co-respondent was named. The divorce cases were dealt with by deemsters, along with such as driving offences. That was when deemsters actually did some fucking work for their wedge, but that is perhaps another story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barlow Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 On 1/22/2021 at 5:16 PM, Barlow said: It was a caller called Andy. He was saying Manx Radio had clipped a reply to questions by an MHK which put a spin on the matter. Andy Wint often thinks he is being smart and clever by going silent and forcing the caller to reply in the awkwardness of the silence. It's a tactic that backfired big time today because he got out silenced - the caller not only went quiet, he did one. The caller called back today. His phone battery had cut out. I think Andy Wint is only comfortable with lil' ol' ladies phoning in purring about how lovely the Isle of Man is. Anything else and he goes on the offensive. I've given up emailing the programme. Andy Wint rarely reads them out, even though they are sent early in and are on topic. I would point out that Stu Peters never, ever failed to read out my emails, occasionally carrying them over to the next programme if necessary. Ditto Roger Watterson. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Everyone put their romantic request in for tomorrow's Love Line with Andy Wint? I haven't, it would be a bit like asking me Dad to play something schmoozey - completely anticlimactic. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Romance on the Radio - eurgghhh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barlow Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Andy has a following. The lil' ol' ladees who phone in purring at him, and the correspondents he makes up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyWolf Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 They’ll only ever be one definitive love line and it’ll always be 219 with Stu Lowe, I always thought as a DJ he was as good as anything the uk had at the time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
