scarbunny Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 FFS how many times can the BBC report the same piece of news, yes the free entertainment was shit but you get what you pay for. Will they improve it next year? Probably. Will this be the last story about it? Not if the BBC has their way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellefield Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Taken from the BBC story: The feedback from an organised survey is now being considered. what organised survey????!!! Nobody asked me my opinion, one piece of feedback I'd like to give was that I actually prefered the red arrows show being put back to 8.30 as it gave me time to get home, get changed and get down to the bay to watch it.... just me then...

Jimcalagon Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 yes the free entertainment was shit but you get what you pay for. It wasn't free- it cost the Manx taxpayers a fucking packet. If they are going to spend that much, at the very least they could do some research and put on shows that people want to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On an other note how dare the Government try and centre the entertainment around the Villa that we spent millions renovating. It should be left unused so it never needs renovations again! I personally think they should move the beer tent to that area, like during the centenary, and have some decent stunt shows across the front where the is much better visibility everything can be centralised, and they can get people into the Villa.

bluemonday Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Can the beer tent be moved or is it like the Tower of London and the Ravens? Move the beer tent and Douglas crumbles into the sea....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarbunny Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 To centralise the entertainment, so everyone is in one place, so you don’t feel like your getting pissed in a car park like a tramp, so you can get a nice long run of prom for stunt shows, strippers, bicycle riding monkeys, what ever they want to bring over, so you can come out of the villa after watching an over priced crap show and only need to cross the road to get some over priced crap beer. Among other more practical reasons like it would be easier to police and clean up if all events and attractions are together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't they have a beer tent facing the villa marina during the centinary year? oh, good point about the strippers - whatever happened to the bike shed girls?
