monasqueen Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 David Christian on Man Radio Today Apparently, Douglas has improved a lot since David Christian became a councillor - hotels have been demolished, apartments have been built etc.. One comment of his confuses me (is it just me?). He says "We've mananged to keep the sweep of the bay" Sorry, but were there plans to demolish the sea walls?

No, apparently the tide was fed up with Douglas and was going to concentrate more on Laxey and Ramsey, however after much persuasion it decided to stay focussed on Douglas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
%age Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 . . . . is there an election coming up or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcCann Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Does he mean the way the bay sweeps up all the seaweed and deposits it all together in one festering stinky pile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triskelion Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Maybe he is referring to how the buildings along the promonade sustain the sweep of the bay? Rather than any sticky-out buildings? Did the transfer of the Villa and Gaiety to the DLT take place during his time as councillor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overdose Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Does he mean the way the bay sweeps up all the seaweed and deposits it all together in one festering stinky pile? Is that the cause of the stench up by the Strathallen Crescent area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyboarder Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 He must be on about the road sweep. Is that the cause of the stench up by the Strathallen Crescent area? Nope, again that's the road sweep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesultanofsheight Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 The town has moved on in ‘leaps and bounds’ in recent years, but adds a small minority of ratepayers are letting the side down. Its hard to see what he is suggesting here. What he probably means is that developers have superficially tidied up the town with their empty apartment blocks, whilst the old Douglas residents are now letting the side down with their scruffy unrefurbished residencies. Plus those "old" shops are looking a bit tatty so why not rip those down as well and turn them into coffee shops - we need more of those! The truth is that every year Douglas gets a bigger dump, and so few people live in the centre of town now its virtually dead after 5:00pm. Still we all know that a few crappy street sculptures and a useless re-vamp of the Quay is all we need to make the town better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 . . . . is there an election coming up or something? It's becoming a little too obvious now, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 . . . . is there an election coming up or something? It's becoming a little too obvious now, isn't it? has there been a day in the last 2 weeks when Mr C hasn't been on the radio. You can tell he's lining up for an election as he's practising the art of U turns. Q: Would you like some free consultancy to promote the horse trams; A: No, No, N No, No.... Yes!

Ushtey Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Maybe he's referring to the design of the strange statue that's appeared on North Quay. Although to me it looks more like a giant Guylain chocolate sea shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 One comment of his confuses me (is it just me?). He says "We've mananged to keep the sweep of the bay" He runs a cleaning company doesn't he? Perhaps he's awarded himself the Corpy 'sweep up the horse shit' contract - I wish he would.
