hissingsid Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 I listened to Hoopers interview on the NS and it was not quite like that from memory he was asked about the hospital and he said something like ward 11 was now being used as a Covid ward , that is the ward usually kept clear and of course hospital numbers would always be taken into account with non emergency ops not taking place. That is not the exact wording but his words have been misconstrued. What our media will do for a headline 🙄. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chief Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 The problems at Nobles are fuck all to do with Covid its just being used as an excuse, the place is running on almost absolute minimums and the staff that are left are close to burnout (i know i'm married to one), they are leaving and retiring in droves and some of the 'international' applicants they are getting and keep bleating on about need at least 6 months to get up to speed and even qualify to be registered to work here. The fact that LH and the government can magic up a shitload of money Dr's and staff just for a fucking sporting event is disgusting, when that staffing and money is needed right now for all members of manx society not just some fucktards who fancy throwing themselves at some scenery. This kind of thing and the 'We've got loads of Marshalls but we still need you to register' horseshit really piss me off. 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Even if the TT does not go ahead I think 90% of the fans will still come to the Island, holiday dates booked, ferry booked and accommodation booked and all paid for. Plenty of entertainment on tap including the red arrows and the 1886 big shows and of course Busheys. May even turn out better without the actual races roads will not be closed so visitors can get around the Island with more ease. Just one big festival. I have heard the Marshall situation is far from being solved but there is time enough yet I suppose. So all things being equal it will be a win, win situation for the Island , hopefully 😜. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 No TT Funfair this year, according to Starship Enterprises Allinson. They are claiming that it frees up the promenade and allows visitors to spend money in central Douglas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see how it compares to the Bushy's Village. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the locals causing the trouble not the visitors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
