thebees Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 nice work if you can get it jammy barstools, what I wouldn't give to be posing about on a yacht in Cannes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you'll find that this is a positive venture that pays for itself many times over. It's a pity that Martin Clunes wasn't directed by the DTL to promote the Film Industry.

When Skies Are Grey Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Now if they did their homework they could stay for the Monaco Grand Prix and promote the yacht and aircarft registries at the same time.....simples! That would be value for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Don't knock the Isle of Man Film Industry. It gives the lazy and work-shy something to do and stimulates the economy. I went to one film party and the block of cannabis resin on the table must have weighed a pound. It was all an interesting experience although I never did get paid for the two days I was asked to work on that film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossils Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Nice. I think you'll find it's actually Cannes. http://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/Taxpayers39...nnes.5276023.jp Do we still make films here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you find the figure would end up more like 500k though! At least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 The trick with Isle of Man Government expenditure is to try and get it up in the £1,000,000s. That way the figure is beyond everyone's comprehension and we just have to let them get on with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I think with these things, you are either in it or you're not! If we don't make an effort to promote ourselves we get nothing at all from having a film industry. Moving in those circles costs money, hopefully well spent, but nothing in life is guaranteed! You have to bait your hook and see what bites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
localyokel Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Totally disgusting waste of taxpayers money. When will government get in the real world ... I wonder what Cretney's council house voters think about him twatting around the Med on his luxury yacht pretending to be Cubby Brocoli at the taxpayers expense.

I wonder what Cretney's council house voters think about him twatting around the Med on his luxury yacht pretending to be Cubby Brocoli at the taxpayers expense. Well I saw him in town today. Or perhaps his twin brother. Are you saying we shouldn't promote the IOM? Or maybe downsizing the budget? Perhaps to a grand? That more to your liking? Maybe we should have got a dolly bird from Cannes to hand out a few flyers. That would probably do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
