Don't write it off yet, I'm even happy for my lads to put the sign in upside down first before coming back to rectify it at no cost to the taxpayers. Piss-poor proposal in my view Slinky. You've failed to include the lamp-post obscuring the pony, haven't added reference to the legal costs to be incurred when it's discovered that your installation breaches three separate covenants, and most importantly of all, you've neglected to identify that it will read 'Mnax Electruc Rilaway'. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I was about to suggest what the letters could be used for instead but doesn't seem appropriate now. Pity it's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been working there with the crane on and off for several weeks. I believe it is going to be a Manx DOI version of Mount Rushmore with Longworth, Robinson and Black featured looking down forever on the promenade. 1 1 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just how do you think all the non galvanise street furniture , drain covers and signage is going to last on the promenade , when you get someone else to do your design work who does not understand the ravages of living in a marine and exposed environment this is what happens , I walk the prom regularly and the railings are rusting away , the prom is a cheap jack job as far as materials go , the quality of the workmanship is another matter , has anybody seen the snagging list yet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking down forever on the taxpayers may be more applicable? In what the 3 of them have been paid; in what they've spent; in what they'll receive in superannuation. Eye-watering. And now it's been publicly stated that they're part of an outfit that's unfit for purpose. I wonder how many taxpayers would like to see a refund?

You must be crazy to want to live in a place which you consider to be a "shithole". We have one life. You could be living anywhere on this planet. Why live here if you believe it to be a "shithole"?
