PASWT makes a good point about having the permit to hand over to the authorities in the event of an accident/incident. However over the last few years I've driven in many other countries (including Australia) without the need to have an IDP. In any event the Isle of Man is not in the EU so it shouldn't make any difference if the UK leaves? I guess its a case of the old "insurance adage". I'm sure that IOMG would welcome the revenue, if Brexit goes ahead what are the chances of the current rates going up!

The original post reminds me of the light bulb joke! The latest tweet on the airport’s Twitter page hasn’t moved on since 14th February either.

Buy a landline phone that has the BT Call Guardian feature. Your trusted numbers are stored in a phonebook and get connected instantly. Anyone else is screened and they have to say their identity before the system rings your line and tells you who is trying to get through. You can then add blocked numbers to a database and they’ll never get through again! Works 100 % with cold calls and scams, we used to get several per day, have not had any for over two years now.

Not sure but think this may have been used as a filming location for the BBC series “The Shadow Line”?

BBC North West news also ran this, including the comment that the scheme had cost £3M and created 16 jobs.

I understand that they are not compulsory in the UK but the utility providers there will not allow you access to cheaper tariffs unless you agree to have a smart meter fitted. As there are no cheap tariffs here presumably you could just say no to MU?

Any idea when this is opening?

Yep that’s right, they had a cottage in Queen Street, I remember being invited in one Christmas or New Year’s Eve after a few pints in the Glue Pot - great hosts. Gavin Sutherland also lived in a house between Ballasalla and Silverdale in the mid 70’s.

Thanks Kevster!

Are there any UK newspapers today?

Have just finished watching series 1 on Netflix while staying with family abroad. Unfortunately our home broadband isn’t good enough for streaming. Does anyone have series 2 and 3 on DVD they have finished with? Nice bottle of wine or similar available in exchange.

Maybe my memory is playing tricks but I seem to remember being served roast beef dinners in the dining salon with silver service quality in the late 60's/early 70's?

Tried that and also SMTP 587 ssl on - neither work? Outgoing mail sticks in outbox. Servers set as mailplusin/ mailplusout.

It is set up with IMAP to receive mail, but you still have to use SMTP to send?

Still no go with outgoing email, fortunately I have other accounts whose outgoing SMTP servers I can piggyback onto to send mail from my manxnet account. The issue seems to be with their mailplusout.manx.net SMTP server? MT seem unable to suggest any options other than to keep playing around with port and SSL settings in the hope that one of them may work - I have and none do.
