Checking the council website he appears to live in a shared bedsit. So either it's untrue or the council website is out of date. http://www.douglas.gov.im/index.php/the-council/councillors/item/2572-mr-councillor-devon-watson#.YsyUZ6TTUzY It wasn't he who I was referring to, he's the chairman, not the councilor who was advised to resign.

AOR Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) I don't know anyone who has been asking for City status. Maybe a councillor or two had the dream? Other places in UK have had big campaigns and have been whinging likes bastards for yonks, wanting to be called a City. It's a bit like votes for 16 year olds. Not one, not even the nerdiest of mid-teenagers was sulking in their bedrooms because they didn't have the fucking vote.

Yup, just because something sounds like a good idea doesn't mean that it is! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 On the subject of good ideas, it’s my birthday next month. Around here (in Manila right now for much egaming conference excitement) they put up big banners outside town hall to congratulate the lucky politician. Isn’t that lovely? I’m not saying you should all chip in to buy me one, but you know...maybe something small and in German? Jokes aside, being back here in my second home once again showed me how lucky we are in the IOM. No organisation is perfect but all things considered, DBC is delivering a lot. Could it do more and be better? Sure. Any organisation can. What makes me a little sad is the fact that people are quick to rant online but never get off the couch. The public gallery is always empty at meetings and few if any people turn up to the monthly clinics. We’re here to listen and act on the policy level. Would be lovely if more people got involved in making Douglas an even better place to live. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really how we’d like recycling to be done but in a way very efficient - if you totally ignore the massive health hazards and poverty line pay. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cissolt Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Just been on my way for my annual trip to Noel's emporium and noticed that DBC have a new CCTV system being installed on hillside avenue. Who is actively monitoring the cameras? Is this legal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
