Not exactly a top quality finish, two completely different shades. Thats not acceptable in any shape or form. If this was your drive would you accept it ?? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Buggane Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Seen a better job done by six pikey's with three wheel barrows, and two of them had punctures and the other a wooden leg than this bunch of pricks 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoTail Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 looking at the fancy new pedestrian crossing today. The strange idea of having the curb stones too high at the sides seems like an invitation to sue the government when people with impaired vision trip over.

It is very strange as the raised kerb is not the same distance from the edge of the crossing on any of the 4 corners. The crossing at Howard St looks as though its going to be the same. I cannot fathom out what they are trying to achieve but to the casual observer it just looks plain daft and potentially dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Buggane Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Had a drive along the promenade today and a thought struck me, apart from what a piece of shite this is going to look like when they eventually finish it. These are my own musings and have no basis in fact what's so ever. The thing that struck me was due to one mans ego and desire to leave a legacy on the island, The prom is at least three years behind schedule and close to three times over budget. So from now on I will no longer be referring to it as the promenade, and hence forth will be Longworth's folly. Hopefully people will join me in its use and it will go down in Manx folklore, and 20/30 years down the line when a public house quiz master asks why was the promenade known as Longworth's folly. You will be able to furnish him with the correct answer, It was down to that knob Dirty Buggane. And hopefully that will be my legacy.

NoTail Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) Do you think it will be finished in 20/30 years time? Edited November 14, 2020 by NoTail 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barlow Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Only an utter fool or someone who has a massively inflated opinion of themself would even think of another civil engineering project whilst the Promenade is in such a mess. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, but you are a little misled - your musings are entirely factual. Not only is the MER extension a significant part of the problem, but the people responsible for it are - at the very height of this monumental screw-up - suggesting that the railway could be extended to Birch Hill and Farmhill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
