For 3 years our address had shown as June this year, then a month or so ago it changed to "to be Planned", yet the other side of the road has fibre! it's funny how the side of the road that's privately owned has fibre yet us scum in in the council houses will have to carry on without any dates... 🤔 pathetic really, I'm on Starlink now, will never use MT OR Sure again, £75pm for 500Mb+ download.
Hi there. Derek with EBU News in Geneva, Switzerland. Hope you are well. I am currently working on a story and would really like to include your video. Is this your video? If so, may we have permission to use your video as per news-exchange.ebu.ch/clearance, please?
Nothing like that when I was growing up in Onchan in the 50's. Will never forget Artie Garrett waiting for the bus at the Manx Arms stop wearing his old army greatcoat after working daily as a labourer on local farms. No farm machinery like those shown here in those days.
Fantastic, fantastic news. I made some calls a few weeks ago and it looked like there was no school at all on the island. Then I passed the school randomly on a walk last week, spoke with John and it's all good to go in the next few weeks for me. There are even plans for the school to get a 172 to complement the Sport Star. Amazing. I'm thrilled.
I was in it every day during the Manx Grand Prix, so pleased we have the Central back, please use it as much as possible you manxies it must survive in the hard times,
What's the point of getting a smart new ship when the company treats it's passengers with utter contempt. Don't believe me, try dealing with them after a cancellation of a ferry or being put on standby. Steam Packet have a monopoly and know you can't go anywhere else so your treated worse than cattle. I hope with all my heart that this venture fails and the Manx government are forced to allow competition for the ferry services and we can finally be rid of this god awful company.
The new Manxman looks like a well fitted out ship with lots of comfortable spaces and cabins.. I particularly like the outside deck where you can sit a table. Well done. A well made video.
JE never replied to any emails from parents, concerned with assault in CRHS. She doesn't care. Education standard in CRHS is very poor so is the communication with parents. How is this person in charge of Education is beyond me.
Where was the disability representatives of Junior Tynwald has it look like it was six formers there most people disabilities don't get into six formers
Certainly does not look like the Manxman I sailed on from Ardrossan in 1972 in a Force 9 gale when virtually every passenger threw up. I remember the wooden slatted benches down both sides of the ship being awash with vomit! I honestly thought that she was scrapped a few years ago.
The old manxman was scrapped years ago I sailed on her many a time from belfast 2 Douglas and a lot of people threw up on her that is true but this new manxman was built in South Korea and only arrived in iom.a few weeks ago after sea trials and looks a splendid vessel compared 2 the old piston driven manxman belfast northern ireland
Referring to the public survey that asked for what people needed in the new ferry from a few years ago, did they include power points in all the lounge seats for mobile phones/laptops? Power points are found on the mainline trains, busses and even the little train from Lancaster to Heysham, so surely they were included on this expensive new boat?
Looks like all the information gathered from dog owners on improvements they would like to see on new boat must have got lost at sea. The dog lounge is no better than the old one. The pee tree is a good idea but why in 2023 they felt the need to build a dog jail!!! Is beyond comprehension. Thank goodness the dog cabins are still available. Not overly impressed with the new boat considering the cost of the fares, I think the Steam Packet need competition. I'm not the first or the last to say this.
Why are the cabins so big? it's a 4hr trip they're not crossing the alantic. As per anything the Government have thier fingers in its form over function.
