I've been giving this some further thought. There is a possibility that the Red Arrows came to the Isle of Man just to do an air display. (But that is what they want me to think).

I remember reading of a drunk lad coming out of Nightlife and smashing one of the windows. Those curved glass windows will have cost him a fortune to replace. I know of this because I was in The Central in Douglas when a 17 year-old lad put the pool table through the corner window (he up-ended it, not the whole thing through the window, but still some feat all the same). ps You will note I did not make the usual cheap jibe about the propensity for charity shops in Ramsey (I bought a perfect condition Berghaus raincoat for £2 in one once) It was me that locked him up! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am afraid reporting standards and attention to detail have become a thing of the past, we are currently starved of local news ,there is plenty happening out there ,,and both isle of man newspapers and the local radio stations do little investigative journalism or seem to get to attend serious court sittings, and only print sanitized government press releases , We are fast becoming Manx Mushrooms ,kept in the dark and fed on Bullsh-t 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know why MR can’t just make the requested (and would be justified) apology and we all move on. You can’t trash someone’s reputation for no reason and expect to have a dialogue with them as if nothing has happened Yes politicians need a thick skin but some things are beyond the pale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
