Yeah, tell them it's a once in a lifetime opportunity

IOM may be the very last place on earth that one can enjoy speed limit free country roads safely. There is nothing else like it.

Exactly what I had in mind.

Now off to the shops to get some chocolate for the missus, the ultimate sweetener..........

Tell her that at least you'll be going away for an educational exploratory trip rather than a booze fuelled lads weekend with football and half naked girls

And you could always bring her back some fresh seafood

Aussie_in_London · 10-24-2012, 09:55 AM

We are also looking into a Euro / Alp drive next year

mlhj83 · 10-31-2012, 08:15 AM

Right, I have paid for a beach front house for 6 as vacancies were going down fast. So far, it's Hetan, Jan, Shane & ?Felicity, Matt and Me. Joe is trying to get time off and Mark is still sweetening his wife for permission

. If both of them confirm, then they will have to book a cosy house for 2

, of which there are plenty of.

Thanks Marcus! Let us know by email how you would like us to pay you back. Not long to go

Be great if Joe and Mark can come too!

mlhj83 · 10-31-2012, 08:29 AM

No problem. Obviously, if Felicity can't come, I can contact the accommodation and change the double bed into singles, so either Mark or Joe can take it and I'm sure we can squeeze in one on the sofa or something. There are 2 bathrooms and I've informed them that there will be about 5-7 cars that require parking.

h-manuk · 10-31-2012, 09:49 AM

Thanks for arranging the accommodation Marcus. PM or email me payment details and I shall sort!

Not too long now.......

Aussie_in_London · 10-31-2012, 11:17 AM

Felicity is coming mate, she knows she is the only girl but wants to do some unrestricted driving lol

Plus she can cook really good

Cool

mlhj83 · 11-01-2012, 01:02 PM

I've changed the accommodation to 2 2-bedroom cottages and the person running it has kindly selected 2 cottages which are better in terms of decor than the original 3-bedroom cottage.

firechicken99 · 11-01-2012, 01:15 PM

Wow you guys are taking a ferry over to the Isle of Man for a cruise??? Between the Autobah and this I don't think its possible to make an American any more jealous!!! Hmmm.... I wonder how much the "Atlantic" ferry costs

Hopefully, we aren't going to cruise. I'm hoping for 140mph on a mountain road

, if it's safe of course.

If thats how you took it, then you sir must not know my definition of "cruise".

Besides..... "Safe" is an arbitrary word isnt it?
