manxfisherman Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 1 hour ago, P.K. said: I would like to know where the "quieter" fireworks nonsense came from? Its the dog owners. The ones whose dogs bark incessantly. Of course if you point this out to them they don't like it. Imagine being the owner of a collie and leaving it locked in your house all day while you're at work, bark bark bark bark bark, but of course say something about it and you're the asshole. Sigh. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I agree the music was crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Voice of Reason Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Just now, finlo said: Who payed for it then? Privately sponsored I believe. Forget the name of the company but they had the CEO ( or equivalent) Bill Mummery on Manx Radio this morning saying they wanted to give something back to the community or some such Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majkul Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Yet the adverts on Manx Radio, all week long, made the bold claim that these fireworks will be "bigger and better than ever". I had no doubt whatsoever that the advert was wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
