The "Gatekeepers" spitting the dummy/s?
You have to remember around that time your MHKs were still saying the TT would be on as normal. That is delusional behaviour of the highest kind, and they kept saying you did not have Covid on the rock, when you quite clearly did, because no one had tested positive.
Howie caught it about the same time as our Boris did but he must of had an early Manx Variant because, other than stopping him reading out stuff badly every evening, he did not seem to have any other symptoms 🙂
