Kopek Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Joking aside, it is best not to fall into the trap of denigrating any and all MHKs, good or bad. I don't know Cregeen but at the Arbory requis meeting, he spoke very well, professionally and not with prepared answers as the questions were ad hoc. There must be some intelligence there even if it's the last thing we want to admit??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Mexico Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) 4 hours ago, Holte End said: I thought that would be up to Creegen if the island gets the world rights to pool. He is the Minister in charge of sports. Would be nice to know if Creegen has been invovled or will it be another DfE fiasco. Actually the DESC only has responsibility for local sport and sports facilities. International competitions held on the Island are usually treated as under the heading of Tourism and so the business of the DfE and currently Rob Callister is the responsible Departmental Member. Of course most of the more successful of such events try to have as little to do with the DfE as possible and the latter responds by trying to pretend they're not happening, trying to take them over or trying to get them stopped. Or a combination of these. Incidentally is Cregeen still missing in (in)action? Last time education was on the news it was still Hooper filling in for him. Edited to add: Cregeen's not as stupid as he is sometime made out to be, but I've never found him to be that well informed about his Department and especially how education is dealt with elsewhere. After three years you'd have thought he would have picked up more, but like a lot of Manx politicians he seems to think knowing the latest buzzwords is enough - even if he's not quite sure what they mean.

Kopek Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 The DfE would be involved if it was an attempt to bring the Pool Championship to the Island, not as a sport but as an economically beneficial event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In so much he was found wandering round inside someone’s house once looking for the letter box. Occupant wasn’t best pleased to say the least.

Well lets hope Howard takes this away from DfE as this seem to be the worse case of self indulgence from a political member I can remember. As other competitions are lost on island, and real spectator sports like the Car Rally. What will we be left just International pub competitions, whats next an International Dominoes event. As for people going missing you can bet someone will not be on his hols while this event takes place.

the stinking enigma Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I dont think it's a bad idea to try entice a big pool tournament over here. And if we are going to do that then rob is obviously the best man for the job in this instance. I fail to undrrstand how anybody that's impartial could see it otherwise. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But people who live on council estates are all incredibly rich and have loads of money to spend. That must be true because I keep on reading it on Manx Forums. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite a gift to squeeze that much bile inaccuracies into that many words. Well done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show me which bit please? Boredom from your rants - yes. Like everyone else. (Stands back and awaits for usual peckers to join in) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
