www.edonline.im Wimanx broadband is here!
Image by Billy V via Flickr For those of you that might have seen the teaser adverts in newspaper or on the isle of man today website, the cat is now out of the bag on what and who ed is? Ed or www.edonline is the new name for Wimanx broadband. I wasn’t sure who or what ed was, but I had a feeling that the campaign had been created by the team at Home Strategic – they like there big chunky graphics and words down there! I am not sure what I think about the name ‘ed... Read Full Story
Big Brother or Banksy piece in the Isle of Man?
Image via Wikipedia On Friday I noticed a new CCTV camera by Marks and Spencer facing over to Wilkins and KFC. Walking back to work today I spotted another one by the New/Old, Refurbished Courthouse (or what ever it’s called). They look like they are very much temporary structures on poles with a power box at the bottom. I reckon a few drunks or someone fairly nimble could easily move one or even climb up one – if they felt the need. It got me thinking, who it is or what is... Read Full Story
Only on the Isle of Man
Image via Wikipedia On the www.iomonline website today the Treasury Minister Allan Bell say that the ‘Isle of Man faces fresh challenges from a new world order created by the credit crunch.’ Yep fair enough I thought and then my eye catches a glimpse of another story that has had equal or more prominence on the Isle of Man news site for the past few days ‘Hospital cafe customers quick to criticise new operators.’ Oh my god, you want to see the right little hor...

Venda boss – shopiom is visionary!
Image by DavidDMuir via Flickr It was reported to day on www.iomonline.co.im that the boss of the Venda claimed that the Manx online shopping portal www.shopiom.com is ‘visionary’. As I don’t really agree with what Dan Wagner (The Venda Boss) has said or the decision taken by the DTI to use a UK based company and pay such considerable fees using the Manx tax payers cash (Freedom to Flourish in action), I thought I would share with you a some song lyrics of that 1998 c...

Dead – the Manx high street!
Image by Generalnoir via Flickr Well if it already isn’t then it sure wont be long! And it won’t just be the Manx High street. In one sense I find it really sad to see empty shops along the islands Strand Street, but in another I kind of of think they deserve it and many more shops deserve it too. The thing is most of the time that I physically go into a shop to buy something I am left feeling disappointed with the experience and the service. I often wish you could score th... Read Full Story

It confirms my last day will be the 28 November 2008 – I know I went out with all my colleagues that night for drinks! Its over 8... Read Full Story
