Re: Would it be unreasonable … ?
I think a small tut could be used to good effect, or perhaps a shrug if you want to really drive home your discontent. That'll do the trick.

Re: last second ebay bidding
Shill bidding, as it's called, is quite prevalent on eBay, which doesn't seem to do much to control it (by repute)st599_uk wrote: ↑13 Mar 2024, 1:01pmAre you sure they want to win it? What's to stop a seller using a second account to force the price ever upwards?deeferdonk wrote: ↑13 Mar 2024, 11:29am More perplexing to me is when you see a couple of other bidders have a bit of a bidding war when there's still a week/ages left on the auction, driving up the price early on. Why don't you just wait till closer to the end and/or put your max bid in?

Worth keeping an eye on the current tussle for ownership of the Telegraph. News Agents has covered it in the last couple of weeks.

Bid the maximum you're prepared to pay at first instance and let nature take its course, as it were.

The local Parish Council is a good point of call.

And find a friendly local journalist.

I went to one in Bristol (possibly the last pre-Covid?). Enjoyed it enormously - a really cosy venue, lots of interesting people selling shiny and/or weird sh... stuff. Good talks too (anyone heard of Chris King??)
Shiny stuff, beautifully crafted in the main.

Re: Dr Ranson vs. Isle of Man government
I'll be interested to see any concrete evidence that comes forward as opposed to conjecture, so please post it, but in the meantime I'm signing out of this thread thanks.
I'm sorry you are offended by my saying what I see. Might I suggest you examine your own posting style once you are over the upset.

Re: Dr Ranson vs. Isle of Man government
To continue to assert this is analogous to the long-term fraud and criminality committed by two organisations at all levels against the SPMs up to and including the jailing and bankrupting of people they knew to be innocent is risible and insulting to the SPMs.
The links you posted regarding this scandal (which it was, and which exposed weaknesses of governance) are mainly post-event politicking which accompanies events like this.
You made a number of statements which were hyperbolic, and demonstrably so, as I illustrated at the time.
I have no axe to grind either way, but I suspect you do, which may be clouding your judgement somewhat.

Re: Dr Ranson vs. Isle of Man government
They are links to political machinations in the IoM. I'm more compelled by a KC's very detailed report on the matter.Cowsham wrote: ↑5 Mar 2024, 8:31pmAbsolutely -- if you bother to read the links they all have links to the Ranson case except the one about a vote of no confidence in the government and calls for Canon to resign and even that is brought on by the unnecessary spending to defend the government position which everyone knows is untenable, while cutting regional council budgets.Bonefishblues wrote: ↑5 Mar 2024, 8:19pm You're posting lots of links about IoM politics. Is your proposition that they are linked to the Ranson case that you asserted was directly analogous to the Post Office Horizon affair which is the subject of the Wyn Williams Statutory Enquiry?
