Just drove past a line of private hire busses outside the palace I was wondering that too. Saw 5 private hire double deckers in the space of 10 minutes on my drive into work today.

It is true. Or at least it historically was true when he first came here. You might also find that his brother was also the broker/supplier the old buses that got sold off on the cheap to Blackpool and other town fleets went through not long after he first started. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 There was a guy on the bus yesterday complaining that whilst he'd been waiting for a cancelled bus two full Private Hire buses went by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it ironic that we hold multiple climate conferences and fly people in from all over the place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Buggane Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 And how did they manage to fly in. Unless Bus Vannin did a private charter. You would think/hope I am kidding? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Onchan Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Whoever they are they may all be leaving the Island next Monday as I tried to rebook an IOMSPCo foot passenger only ticket for the 08:45 on Monday and was told the sailing is full. That's a pretty rare occurrence outside of TT, isn't it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbnuts Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) Found it. This one Managed to get hold of my friend and this is it. Apparently there's 5 people in a team plus manager and who knows , maybe supporters etc.and not forgetting the bus drivers !! Each year, teams of young linguists from around the world gather and test their minds against the world's toughest puzzles in language and linguistics. The IOL is one of twelve International Science Olympiads, and has been held annually since 2003. Edited July 27, 2022 by Numbnuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won’t be going anywhere near Baldrine. There was an electric railway festival last week. They had to reschedule tram trips to SMR and Laxey Ramsey. There were refund offers to the disappointed.
