Albert Tatlock Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 How many call outs is that now in the last year? Jebus, I'm giving serious consideration to setting up a costa coffee franchise there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tearz Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 How many call outs is that now in the last year? Jebus, I'm giving serious consideration to setting up a costa coffee franchise there. Can you please employ the manager of the Waterstones branch out there? I can guarentee a resultant reduction in the lifeboat callouts for those getting stuck!!

%age Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 "Fortunately this sort of thing doesn't happen often on the Island" Only once a month on very low tides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebees Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Ooooh more rare events, this one ofc is crap news. I have a good story, it is far more interesting than 4 kids go wading....My great grandfather was a bread delivery man, one time it was snowing and his van got stuck at Santon so he had to walk back to Douglas in a blizzard, by the time he got home his coat was frozen, 'nanna' had to steam the buttons to enable him to get his coat off. Much better story (even if I do tell it ALL the time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 another 'cut off' that wasn't. what BS reporting, checked out for injuries too?? have we got sharks around there or something??. headline news, '4 kids paddle in sea upto waist' very dangerous on douglas beach, emergency services called out and kids get full medical upon their dramatic rescue ( the amount of sewage around may be cause for innoculations though?? ) the day something does go wrong ( does the tower of 'refuge' not actually offer any refuge then?? ) no one will take it seriously!! i would assume that if the tide did actually REALLY cut someone off, they would just need to take 'refuge'?? and wait till it fucked off out again. perhaps the sefton grope could put in plans for a B&B in the tower?? if anyone could get planning for it, they could!

Cret Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 another 'cut off' that wasn't. That's what I was thinking. If they got back easily enough then surely they weren't 'cut off'? "Fortunately this sort of thing doesn't happen often on the Island" Is that because they're not on the Island when it happens? Does connister rock count as 'on' the Island?

x-in-man Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 This counts towards the 'rare events' total for May Althought the term 'rare' is not used, the phrase - "Fortunately this sort of thing doesn't happen often on the Island" is deemed as a failed attempt to get round the rules. I buy the winner a drink in the beer tent this TT. Note to self - must keep a running total of 'rare' events for May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x-in-man Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Lots of dead Douglas kids who never made it back. and probably lots of seagull shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
