Frankly, if you weren't 'a friendly' and faced with that, anyone could be forgiven for crying for mummy! I appreciate they still seriously respect their warrior culture and ancestry. 1 minute ago, Barlow said: It's a good one too. When the Haka is going on, the England boys could go down to those big H post thingies and do some maypole dancing round them. Last world cup. This was England's response. Farrell's smirk and buffalo horn formation (how you surround and beat a bunched up opponent) challenge to their challenge were superb and superior to any maypole dancing. England actually got fined for this, as you're not supposed to cross the halfway line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Onchan Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 5 hours ago, Happier diner said: It's complex. The traditional haka started as a ceremonial greeting with a warning in it. That's why there is an aggressive aspect. A war haka is different and is used to intimidate the enemy and fire up the troops. The Haka can mean many things in many different circumstances, I found these two particularly emotional: https://www.facebook.com/SPORTbible/videos/emotional-haka-at-a-funeral-/2950511005094412/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xI6TRTBZUMM&ab_channel=NZDefenceForce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah I remember seeing something on facebook someone complained that they had a meal booked there and when they went down it was closed and the owner said it was for maintenance but that was a good 2 months ago now I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much Gov money was pissed away on this Chamber dream ? Well according to an FoI request from February 2022 (2282885): That's 18 months ago so it will clearly be over a quarter million by now. in fact by June 2022 it was £261,605.54 - see FoI 2505169, which also refused to discuss any other monetary contributions to co-working facilities. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the one. All in to the pocket of a private landlord to support a Chamber vanity project. Then the DFE well went dry and everyone pulled out. Now the yuppies have decamped to Santander. I saw the other one regarding the serviced offices in the same building which I think was refused a reply, which I now believe is operated by the building owner. I do wonder how much has been spaffed on it all and to what benefit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This stuff goes on everywhere. Doesn't make it good, but if you believe cronyism is restricted to the Isle of Man you've led a very sheltered life. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s on Facebook and they say they have taken financial advice so closed yesterday. Lots of Facebook complaining that Government should get involved. Some commenting that financial aid should be provided, like the Sefton Grouo. MNH should buy the site to prevent it falling into the crutches of the developers according to other Facebook posters. Yesterday the Starship Enterprise Minister Tim Johnston was lamenting the kipper yards closure, and saying he was happy to talk to struggling small businesses.

It's tough for them, but none of the above should happen. Does the taxpayer then prop up every failing business? Perhaps the taxpayer should have visited the shop and cafe more often in Moore's case. I went earlier this year. First time visitor and had been really looking forward to it. Probably the worst experience I've had in a local cafe in recent years. They literally failed on all aspects, and its wasn't that cheap. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
