If you tske your economic advice from a man who needs Velcro fastening shoes - you might be surprised when things don’t work out. He’s called Bill as William was too difficult to spell. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham_N_Eggs Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 3 hours ago, ptarmigan said: The PAC investigation into Liverpool should have been outsourced to professional auditors if they really wanted some serious examination. There are too many vested interests in tynwald...who all voted for it...to really.uncover what went wrong. The investigation into the ransom affair is pointless. Nothing will be achieved by it. This is what the auditor general is here for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Buggane Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) You also omitted the fact that Bill Henderson talks a load of shite, which being on MLC wonga and being a smug Git is quite easy to do.

Nice comment People also ask What does it mean to need Velcro shoes? Velcro shoes are easy to put on and take off, with hook and loop strap closures rather than laces. That's important for people who have physical limitations that make it hard to bend or reach their feet or tie shoelaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said “If you take your economic advice from a man who needs Velcro fastening shoes…..” It implies ( no, more than implies) than those who have physical impairments that means their economic advice is somehow more worthless. I myself have an impairment that means I have to wear slip on shoes. Does that mean that I am less capable of dispensing advice.? Seriously, I would be interested in your take on this, and the context of his comment especially given your condition(s) which you are quite open about. Im not looking for a fight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Voice of Reason Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Just now, cheesypeas said: your over thinking this. Surely he just means Henderson is a five carrot balloon knot, who couldn’t manage to tie his own laces. No ? I don’t know. Can Henderson tie his own shoe laces? Does he need Velcro shoes?I assumed that because Helmut said it it it was literally true . I make no apology for that Even if he can tie his own shoelaces it’s still not nice to mock those with physical disabilities as being unable to impart advice.

As questions go I’d be interested in what your AI chatbot Ashy feed has to say. He is man of many skills, I recall him claiming that it was feasible that a civil servant copied Dr Glover's robot code by looking over her shoulder. He then went on to claim he had written "codes" in the past to justify the ludicrousness of his statement. Not only was he lying, so was the civil servant who stole the code and claimed it as their own. It wouldn't surprise me if Walter Mitty ashford claimed to have invented shoelaces. 2 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
