Of course but also a concierge that can source hookers, en-masse and lots of drink and drugs 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bees Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) Anyway, two things - firstly I am sick to death of the stupid roads in Douglas, who ever thought we needed a cycle lane on Pulrose Bridge needs their head checked (I forgot my spa kit today and had to nip home and get it after the gym...3 hours later ffs) and the other thing is, there should be an age limit, even the maddest of bikers admits their reactions are not what they when they're past 50. My friend sold his sports bike for exactly that reason, he realised that the bike was out riding him and it was the wise thing to do.

The £amount of local spend lost when thousands of residents go on holiday to get away from the Death Fests? I am calling it more than it brings to the rock. In addition to that, the piss poor hotels on the rock - Apart from a few new and very well setup ones - count on MGP and the TT to keep going like Zombie Hotels. Most hotels on the rock are SH1T, damp old boarding houses from the last century that have had a bit of paint and somehow managed to add an en-suite. If you cant see that, get some glasses. I would never stay in 98% of them. If you got rid of the dross, better hotels would establish and the tourist economy would expand. You could always move somewhere else and stop worrying about it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most construction companies & tradespeople are working, you haven’t a clue.

Mr Helmut Fromage Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Heard reports that it was zero free beds at Nobles that was more of a factor in the cancellation than the weather forecast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADELE Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Helix he has moved somewhere else, why he has this interest in what we are up to is a mystery to many, unless of course he realises he has made the wrong call and is still persuading himself he made the right one, the bitterness is sad a very unhappy individual.
