Casta Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 There seems to be even more prams with 3 month old or thereabouts babies this year. Was there something in the water/beer last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Buggane Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Is Speculation the new buzz word, like sub-justice used to be. And what is wrong with speculation, just a personal point of view without access to the relevant facts. And who is it hurting, is it going to be illegal when the thought police are formed. I bet the local plod are salivating at that thought, sorry just speculation. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian rush Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 They’ll have told all their mates and family as per, so when that starts to leak we can probably expect something more official. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect conditions out there tonight. Whose decision was this ? Couldn't the main investigation wait until tomorrow ? 13 hours ago, A fool and his money..... said: Given that it happened quite a bit earlier, you'd hope the casualties would have made it to the hospital by now - mark the road up, take any witness statements at the cop shop, do the investigation after the practice. The road isn't going anywhere. Madness. The police will have their reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is a case of a serious matter which may require evidence before a court, or a coroners court, it would be very difficult to answer a question, other than yes, along the lines of " Is it possible that evidence of ( whatever) may have been lost due to the road being used before a full investigation could take place " Clearly the Police, for whatever reasons, don't want to place themselves in that position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 The NPM reports this morning advising people booked for Homestay/accommodation to check they are registered etc. Unfortunately in the unholy rush to both grow the economy, the population and the tourist accommodation offerings, you will get instances like accommodation not being up to ‘standards’. I’m sure in some cases a blind eye would be turned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Hedgehog Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Mountain now closed and unlikely to reopen before the next practice as two bikes have broken down. Seems entirely believable. Bikes are well known to be difficult to move out of the way. Couldn't they just say we don't trust you not to crash and mess up the schedule again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the police really care about speculation it's more having thoughts about family etc and posting things online that might be wide of the mark.

Fred the shred Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Regarding link it was on Ramsey Facebook and the person posting was trying to find alternative accommodation for the Spanish gentleman who were very upset as they had stayed with the gentleman for years. They were more upset about his death than anything and wanted to pay their respects to the family etc. they also needed accommodation and I think by the replies they got fixed up.
