    Some consider a bird, of the feathered variety, tulipping on their head is striking it lucky, so you never know

    She might have had her arm amputated.

The local night spot was at my hotel which has a band of two people and 10 horny locals, one draping her arm around my neck all evening!

    Peel and Castletown castles and the Laxey Wheel with lunch in Port Erin made for a busy two days.

    dig the local radio station in the car - sooo smashie and nicey. Gave details on every junble sale and tombola, then said there is the islands psychic meeting at 7:30pm, but that we should know the place.......

    While the headline tax rates are good, the cost of everything else on the island is that bit more than in the UK. Transport/travel to/from the island used to be very expensive although has improved with EasyJet flying from Liverpool and Gatwick for low prices although the reliability of the flight to Gatwick on a Friday evening was woeful.

    For anyone interested, the island introduced its own version of IR35, even down to the definition of a PSC.

    Port Erin or Castletown for a walk about, or stock up with a few cans. Then take the Sound Road down to the Calf - a truly great opportunity to see some Seals.
    The coastline is terrific and it is not a bad place to have a pint or two as the sun goes down.
    In addition to the south I always found Peel and the West ok too.
