Pontius Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I see that in today's Courier, the Corpy is selling "a quantity of 30 or more early 20thC and later Gas and Electric cast iron street lamp posts". Curious - if not quirky! Have they found the ones that allegedly disappeared a few years back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxman27 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 They are probably the ones they have just removed from Port E Chee Ave as they have just replaced the street lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyboarder Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I wonder how much trace of dog's piss one would find engrained into the lower parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Public Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I wonder how much trace of dog's piss one would find engrained into the lower parts. Not much, the rain washes it off. Whether you would find an increase in uric acid crystals bound the the ferrous oxide in the cast iron is a question you'd need to ask of a dog piss scientist. Hope this helps.

Cutting edge science is carried out by dog shit scientists. Unfortunately, you really need to study on an island where there is unfettered access to a plentiful supple of dog shits. Just lying around on the streets etc. Good luck in your studies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cast Iron Lighting Columns Members queried the efforts which are being made to dispose of the redundant cast iron lighting columns currently stored at Snugborough Industrial Estate. Two Members indicated that they wished to purchase one or two columns to provide lighting in their own gardens. They asked how much it would cost to purchase these and started to discuss details of how they could be moved. The Chairman stopped the discussion as inappropriate. http://www.douglas.gov.im/minutes/325.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
