Don't think so. I guess he'll turn as soon as he can get it on his quarter and then surf to Heysham - shouldn't be long now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Hedgehog Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) Shocking stuff. Not the storm, just the Auldyn truck heading back to the depot. First time I have seen any prom workers this year. Edited January 11, 2020 by Dave Hedgehog 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manximus Aururaneus Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Surprised that the Ben is still only making 13.5 with a quartering sea - maybe a mechanical problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amadeus Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 Was hoping for some crosswind landings at Heathrow-on-Sea but it looked almost serene down there. Bad weather gone then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad weather gone then? That must be terrifying. Looking down and seeing habitual disaster-chaser @Amadeus with a long lens. Anyone would think they were doomed. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monasqueen Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 More bad weather due to come tomorrow, with Storm Brendan. There may not be a boat in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2112 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/new-liverpool-dock-should-be-completed-on-time/ Yesterdays rather comical offering from the Nations Propaganda Mouthpiece. Harmer and on time are two words which certainly don’t go together. It’s a good job that our useless Department of Incompetence aren’t doing the work, otherwise like the promenade it will take years overrunning and £m’s overbudget, and still nobody will take responsibility and be accountable. https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/time-capsule-to-be-buried-at-liverpool-landing-stage/ How many clowns went? HRH The Chief Minister and Ray Harmer, and I wonder how many bag carriers and civil servants. As a monthly SPC user all year round, it’s rare that you find politicos on either the Ben or the Manannan. To them, the boats are for the ‘plebs’. I can’t help feeling that Liverpool’s Metro Mayor and other worthies, will be having a good laugh at our useless contingent, who quite frankly aren’t fit, to run the Hospitals newspaper shop. I notice that in the time capsule they have buried a Manx Newspaper. I wonder if it’s the one with negative headlines about the landing stage being exhorbitantly expensive, costs allowed to spiral out of control, little to show for the costs involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I’m sure the Manx taxpayers are looking forward to picking up the tab for this. https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/heysham-terminal-refurb-to-follow-liverpool-work/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going to estimate in excess of £3m. I am sure it’s mostly decorative and cosmetic, as opposed to structural.
