The Voice of Reason Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 15 hours ago, John Wright said: @VOICE OF REASON you need to stop this put on puzzlement/confused persona/out of touch. It’s just not acronyms, almost anything and you pretend not to know, even if context makes it abundantly clear. Its trolling. It’s like the judge doing the “Mr Wright, what is a Beatle?” thing, when he has the White Album stacked on his turntable, along with Sergeant Pepper, at home. No pretence or “confused persona” involved at all . Computer / IT stuff is not my strong suit, in fact I know barely anything about it So why not ask my fellow member (s) what things mean when they raise them. I have subsequently Googled DOS and now understand what it means. But I thought part of the purpose of a forum was to learn from other members who have experience and knowledge of areas that you yourself haven’t. Unfortunately not all of us are blessed with being experts in everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have on previous occasions stated my contempt for the Mail and the Express. Perhaps you may have missed that and that is why you continually imply that I am a reader and supporter of those. It’s a bit of a tired cliche Regarding the Telegraph ( which I have also mentioned that I read the online version for free, not that it matters) it has good journalistic input re news, sports and culture coverage. It doesn’t inform my political opinion, or “ addle” my mind but I make no apologies for reading it.

Two-lane Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Does anyone know what the situation is with EV charging points in the main gov. building underground car park? I recall it being mentioned that EV charging points have been installed there - do MHKs/Civil Servants pay the normal fees for usage? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask your MHK there are some located behind the government buildings but it is difficult to get onto them because they are monopolised bt Tynwald members, one in particular can't charge their electric vehicle at home ,so it sits there most of the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have an idea about what happens after the warranty has expired? [What's with the strange naming convention? Would numbers have been as effective?

Two-lane Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 They have all been repaired under warranty, which implies design problems rather than user mis-handling. These things have been around a while, so why so many repairs required? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
