About some positive developments for brownfield sites which have been eyesores for years.

KERED Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 On The Mannin Line, today, Quirky was praising the performance of Alfie, at the Villa "gig" yesterday. (He added that, because Alf had hurt his back, he was lying PRONE in his chair!) PRONE means lying FACE DOWN. Any ideas as to HOW, Alf hurt his back? 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry. It becomes white noise eventually. Definitely ignore those particularly deranged souls who have moved away but feel compelled to return here and continue moaning about the place. They are trying to justify a poor relocation decision to themselves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubtful of Alf hurting his back doing anything manual, when he can get flunkies to the job. Perhaps he fell off his chair in a pub having read an email from one of his COMIN colleagues.

Any ideas as to HOW, Alf hurt his back? 🤣 He was certainly moving around very gingerly and slowly at the Villa yesterday. I suppose MR didn't want to describe him as being supine as the word has the secondary (and common) meaning of being "weak and willing to accept the control of others" or "failing to act or protest as a result of moral weakness or indolence". Which might lead some to ask how that is different from normal. (I'm not really sure that you can be described as lying flat in a chair anyway, but that's MR for you).

cheesypeas Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Is there mention of the Manxforums Twitter account in here yet? It’s really quite amusing in a clearly obsessive sort of way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two-lane Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 So what's the problem with Cannan? A 4-week wait for an appointment with a GP perhaps - or is he allowed to queue-jump? I suppose he could claim that he is an essential service, so should get priority. Except that he has appointed a deputy, and therefore he is no longer essential. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the shred Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Quirky’s overview of the Conference certainly lacked detail apart from giving the guy who stood in for Julie, she is sick , a poor for presentation without mentioning what was mentioned in the presentation but was very fulsome in his praise for Alf, with twisted back, he managed to go on for quite a while without sharing any actual information at all apart from the fact there was 60 people in the Royal Hall which in its self does not show much public interest. Perhaps if they had got a Drag Queen to do the presentation there would have been more interest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also says that the type of people moving here don’t need a job. I’m sure that will help to pay for the civil service pensions. I suppose most pensioners pay income tax.

Hopefully the housing associating will be up and running soon and make this the top of their list I understand the Lord Street flats site would be very expensive to develop.
