Silentbob Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Mr Quayle, you could not be more full of shit if you tried. EVERYONE I spoke to over the TT said the IOMG were just trying to herd everyone into the pay to view events at the Villa, and had 'abandonded' the Prom but left all the restrictions (police everywhere, barriers, doughnut and die policy) in place; leaving visitors with a choice, pay through the nose for shit bands, or do nothing at all. Here are some tips for you. Your mother is NOT an expert cosultant in the field of popular music. The Promenade is NOT a road to the Villa, it is the HEART of the TT spirit, show it some fucking respect. Busheys is not a pub, or a tent, it is a fucking institution, show IT some fucking respect. Martin has been dealing with TT visitors a LOT longer than you have been in office matey boy, and although his choice of hired goons for this years event was questionable, on the whole they run a pretty decent gig. You on the other hand could not plan a piss up in his brewery. Overall, I think someone else on here had a pretty good idea, spam MCN (and german/french media etc etc) NOW with an advert for TT2010, point them to somewhere like tt.gov.im/yourviews and lay out a questionaire regarding what the visitors really want to see at the TT outside of racing. Honest, open like... 'In your opinion, is the approach of the authorities regarding 'burnouts' and 'wheelies' a) Heavy handed b) about right c) All officers should have baseball bats to deal with them properly.' or 'Who would you consider paying to see while at the TT a) AC/DC b) Pan Pipes Live c) The TT planning comittee birched' or maybe 'Do you like paying more to visit the Isle of Man than it would cost you to charter a shuttle to the moon? a) Yes, I think the IOMSPA deserve another linkspan for their trouble. b) I will answer once I have castrated myself with this hammer c) How much C4 can I jam into this fuel tank. Personally i think you clownshoe wearing bunch of muppets in the Government want the TT gone so you can focus on sweating businesses for taxes, and taking backhanders for white elephants.

The Voice of Reason Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 The Manx government says it had positive feedback on the TT entertainment, despite complaints over cuts in the programme. No It says 'some' However, the article fails to elucidate. Yes, I'm sure probably most of the people who went to the Whitesnake concert enjoyed it, although feeling underwhelmed for the rest of the fortnight. I suppose that constitutes "positive feeedback" in Govt eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Mr Quayle, you could not be more full of shit if you tried. From my perspective he's done a grand job. The TT entertainment cost a million quid less, the prom was free of shell suited chavs pissing away their dole on overpriced rides, and I got to see Whitesnake. Result! I heard the bike racing thingy went ok too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great post Siletntbob.! Everything I wanted to say but done well! One ray of light though from Quayle was the quote "I acknowledge and accept that the changes to the programme meant that there was not the same atmosphere and buzz on Douglas Promenade as in previous years and this was missed by both residents and TT fans." I don't know whether this was a half arsed apology or a promise to do better next time. We'll have to wait and see I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the entertainment outside Bushy's was going to be paid for by Martin whatshisname. For some reason road closure orders were not approved. Gang of corrupt, fiddling, conniving bastards,(allegedly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
