fubar Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Can anyone provide any reason as to why it has taken a team of 4 DOT workers 3 weeks to clean the pavement outside Newsons on the Quay? The owners of Velvet Lobster must be over the moon at a DOT open air depot appearing on their doorstep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they take their time there, come the time for TT they'll have strength for some overtime getting the course smooth and pothole free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The training in the morning, and then the necessary retraining in the afternoon because they get a one hour lunchbreak and forget it all? IOM College shovel leaning courses are only held at the end of each month? They've been struggling for two weeks to leave, having been told they have to start the van with a quay? Who knows...

tucker Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I was talking to an overseas visitor and he said "I love your Island but you have some really strange customs" I said what like ,he replied "Well it seems that when someone dies instead of burying them you dress them up in yellow reflective clothing and hang them in a hedge " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a problem with that? Yup - was he the best person for the job?! Why are you asking here? Why don't you cry to the work permit board? Heck why not do a petition or stand around with banners shouting Polish Scum on site? You could even hark back to the 70's and 80's and try to burn his house down if you like. If the story is true and not just a Lee54 bleet, then yes he most probably was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
