In fact after listening to him I cannot think why I turned the wireless on or where my car keys are, he just makes your brain think "I can't take this shite goodbye". 😵 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two-lane Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I suppose it gives one ambivalent feelings about the TT. "The Island really comes alive during the TT" And the hospital has a good stock of blood for the inevitable transfusions... Well, look on the positive side - if they need a transfusion, they are still alive. [And, to put some balance here, I do not object to the TT - I just thought the headline was a bit amusing.] [[But I am easily amused, especially on a Friday evening]] 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Some would just like a Shiraz transfusion though!!! 😀 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolley Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 The preparations by the health service listed in the Courier last week read like they were preparing for a war. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omobono Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 this is the first time I have ever heard anyone from the health service ( Manx Care ) commenting on the condition of the two sidecar competitors who crashed at Bishops Court ,talk about jumping on the bandwagon pity the lady cant be more positive about waiting lists and how tightly they are controlling their budgets , it seems any opportunity to get the ten pennyworth in , or fly the flag , it will be Hooperman next telling everyone what a great job he is doing running the health service 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barlow Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 The bike racing woman that does the Radio TT stuff with Chris 'Kinners' Kinley makes his voice sound less squeaky, and is ok and all that, of course, but I wonder could some basic elocution lessons be provided to stop the stinted, pause laden delivery. I know it is an affectation adopted by some young folk of today but it is not conducive to good radio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Colombe Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Is that the racer with the rising intonation at the end of a statement. Rather than a question? Annoying as that is, I quite like her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoying as that is, I quite like her. Yes. I quite like her too. I just thought I'd provide some words for possible improvement as I doubt she will go any further than Manx Radio with that style of diction. Re the rising intonation thing, the 'Manx' snowboarder used to be terrible for it, every single sentence, sometimes 2 or 3 times a sentence. Then it suddenly changed. I can only assume someone provided the advice. Ditto a Manx Telecom boss that was on Manx Radio a lot, he eventually dropped it too, I also imagine after a works do and someone got pissed and told him straight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the shred Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 It is a faux Aussie accent I think and was catching a few years ago it has died out a bit now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casta Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 That inflexion is an affectation that does absolutely nothing for a person, as with the spattering speech with random half pauses. A sort of introduced stammer. It's a technique that gets the attention and makes a person sound like they are thinking about what they want to say, but it should be used very sparingly for any useful effect, not all the time. It's rather irritating. Like the MR woman who was forever giving out false laughs, "huh, huh, huh" just about every sentence, but has now rationed herself to about one every 10 minutes.

Shake me up Judy Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Manx Radio is a menagerie of voices, ranging from the timid to the 'exotic'. All human life is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
