Barlow Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Minister Tim Crookall is getting to use his seemingly favourite word "hopefully" a lot these days. Twice in the same sentence in that Manx Radio report. In his job you get one stab and one stab only at the word "hopefully". He's been spurting it out since he took over as Minister. It isn't good enough. Not good enough at all. I don't know what gave Tim the idea he should become an MHK again. Maybe the people of Peel could inform us.

Well Peel did didn’t want boot & Harmer & I think Cowin would have been a disaster so not much choice,personally I think he’s doing a decent job , it’s only been 4 months so let’s give them all a chance Edited January 12, 2022 by Banker 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) '' Well Peel did didn’t want boot it Harmer '' is that way he checked his tyre pressures? i'm willing to give crookall a bit longer, he came out fighting with a new outlook on past events. his latest utterances have been a bit of a watering down but let's wait to see if he can get back on course with his ongoing criticisms of the currents situations. One would hope that it isn't the Civil Servants bullying him!!! Edited January 12, 2022 by Kopek 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbnuts Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) I wouldnt in any way , shape or form say putting right the cracked red/pink concrete is a minor task and as the DOI couldn't find a way out of it in over a year I don't think they do either. Its a big job whatever way they do it. My money is on they dont and just leave it cracked . Edited January 12, 2022 by Numbnuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully. We can hope. Each time Tim says "hopefully" he may as well give a six figure sum of taxpayers' cash to the contractor and delay the project a few more weeks/months. He's a nice guy and all that, but maybe he achieved his level of responsibility by reading an envelope and putting the letter through the right door. I mean that seriously and don't mean to sound offensive - I'm a building labourer by trade and that has a fair bit of responsibility.

the stinking enigma Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I thought tim only ran to prevent that pain on the arse guy from getting in and asking too many questions. A safe pair of hands on the tiller? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 He is not the only politician or person to use the word hopefully it is the buzz word of the present, the way things are at the moment in every aspect ‘hopefully’ is the only way to go, the only thing that is a certainty is death.

Mr Penfold Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Drove down there today and it is a complete embarrassment. If we have actually paid £25 million for that then somebody needs to be sacked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Civil servants are clearly the problem. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
