But there are lots of contemporary poems and songs that use “glitters”. To be really pedantic the Prince of Morocco (yes, I can never spell it either) doesn't 'use' it but reads out the words on the scroll in the casket. Inevitably there's a Wiki on the phrase.

The Voice of Reason Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Getting back to Stu Peters he has as much right as anyone to post on here. I have been interested to hear his views on here on the finances of Manx Radio and his video explaining the workings of Tynwald. OK as an MHK he has certain limitations. It wouldn’t “ do” for him to come on here and post something with expletive laden or incendiary comments . But he has a forum more important than Manx Forums (Tynpotwald,for those who like to call it thus)to make his views which takes priority. Though it is rarely a bad thing that politicians find additional ways of engaging with the public be it by MF,Facebook Twitter whatever. I am grateful for his contributions here albeit that I may not always agree with them. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is obviously intelligent, not afraid to admit she knows nothing about some things (the two often go hand in hand), is polite and friendly to callers. The main plus is that she doesn’t have a condescending and patronising tone. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Login Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) It is nothing new that Beth Espey is recognised as one of the better presenters at Manx Radio and, without referring to or slagging off others, one of the few who seem to have a half decent knowledge of current affairs, politics, events etc combined with a bit of common sense and brain so that can lead a reasonable questioning debate on various topics as opposed to just letting contributors spouting forth rubbish. Problem it she can not do all the current affairs programming for MR even though they have cut and dumbed down Edited January 26, 2022 by Lost Login 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're paying a lot more to get a whole lot less. If the rumours of them losing 'Radio TT' turn out to be true then there surely needs to be a renegotiation downwards of their subvention. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amadeus Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Real time TT is a tricky idea. If you can watch it live online, why come here, especially if you’ve maybe seen it in person already? What happens when there are massive delays, not that that ever happens? If all free coverage goes it’ll be very harmful to the event. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
