I used gel on my hands on the way in, and they insisted I did on the way out. I carry a small refillable gel bottle and had cleansed my hands on leaving clinic. Apparently that wasn’t acceptable. You can’t fault them for doing the job properly. I have gel in my car and wipes, but still comply with instructions regarding any premises. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t forget, there will be plenty of Tynwald questions asked this year the sole purpose of which will be to embarrass the other constituency member. Votes n’all that.

The Hon. Member for Onchan (Ms Edge) to ask the Member of the Department for Enterprise responsible for Tourism: Why the Laxey Wheel is not operating? Can I please just say here (please forgive me mother) - What fucking planet is this air head living on??? Seriously, what the actual Fuck! 1). Nobody, but nobody actually cares right now because (Hello!!) it's the middle of Winter; 2.) In case the daft blonde twonk hasn't noticed (clues in the fact they are sitting by Zoom today), we are in the middle of our second lockdown. Isn't it about time in all seriousness that the President calls idiotic questions like this out? Questions like this cost tens of thousand of pounds a year to answer - never mind frustrate the shit out of the poor civil servant who has to spend time preparing a response for this sort of tripe. Is it me or what??? Seems that you've only read up to the bottom of page 3. It would be worth reading the other questions asked by Ms Edge on pages 4 & 5: https://www.tynwald.org.im/business/opqp/opqp/2021-PP-0002.pdf Questions 19, 20, 21, 23, 28 & 29 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie Edge (Onchan) Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 This question was rolled over from a previous sitting. As an MHKs duty is to represent constituents and ask questions raised by them. Will be interesting to see the answer and if it confirms the concerns. I will continue to ask questions for constituents no matter what the topic. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This secrecy culture has to stop and be replaced with clear, concise and meaningful communication. 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quayle (and his administration) couldn’t be lucid if his very life depended on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) Quite frankly the issue of the Laxey Wheel is important. For such a supposed iconic piece of our heritage it is a shabby mess and not worth the admission charge to climb the stairs. If it's allowed to fall into disrepair, like so many things before, we'll be left with an eyesore which doesn't do anything! I remember seeing a bus load of Japanese TT tourists hanging around wondering whether or not to pay for what was a pretty disappointing experience after all the hype.

Is the long shaft that drives the wheel ( or being driven by it ) not being repaired after a break ? Sure that’s the reason it is not turning turning turning.
