Cret

What do you mean dude? I was wondering how come you weren't there mate!

I spotted me, getting married, on Saturday at braddan church then the Ocean Castle in Port Erin!

Leave the stetson out of this Bubba. That beast of a hat came all the way from Vegas and took me a couple of years to brainwash my mate into selling it to me. It's boating/boat repair season so the boat hat comes out. It also doubles as a good chef hat too....

Spotted Uni outside the chippy (first), then down by the Bay, then stalking me in my stealth charabanc around Pt Erin.

I can't believe how good this week has been considering I'm off work. I'm very pleased about it. I'll no doubt spend most of the week toiling away working on the boat and get it ready just in time for several weeks of inclement weather.....

Spotted you today jim in Pt St Mary while I was working on my boat but I don't think you saw me....

I saw you first though sucka.

Priceless. You need to watch that cheesy stallone film "Over the top" then I'm sure you will become an invincible force of arm wrestlingness.

Ha ha! You'd best get yourself some kind of Rocky training plan then sunshine. And visit the vet.....

Ha ha. Chucklelicious. The people in question earned it though I think. I've vowed not to go there again after taking my old uni mates visiting the island, in there to start saturday night off. There were about a dozen people in there pretty much, most of them were chavs, and they played the tellytubbies song. Despicable stuff - no wonder it was empty. Then 3 moody gets who looked like thugs came in and lowered the tone even more. You're a card. I'm not the one often to be seen dancing into the small hours showing off a sweaty, naked torso. You lose batty boy!

Spotted the usual suspects, somewhat unsurprisingly in Colours last night. One of them seems to be particularly rubbish at playing peanuts.... Yuck yuck

Yes mate - had to get a crate of warm up beers for night out saturday. Sorry I never got to your bash. I did come past about 4am on the way home from colors but there wasn't lots of noise or people falling out of windows etc so I figured it must have wound down.

I can't actually think of a cunning response to that one so I'll just go with the time honoured classic, "No".

Sorry dude but wasn't me! I presume by the way that when you say you might have 'had' me in the shop you mean seen me in there? That's me in my avatar although admittedly I don't normally have a knife with 'cheese' written on it covering half my face. Many might say it would be better if I did.... Not been up in your neck of the woods for yonks really!

Can't be the same as the Toffs lot then as they were renowned for that!

Don't remember you being that bad dude, and I was on good behaviour this week!

No need - they're all coming out of the woodwork as you can see! I actually remember all o my night out this weekend too!

Saw numerous forum members in the Outback on Friday. They know who they are!

Did I? Sorry dude. You must have got me back then as one of my arms has a choice bruise on it that looks like the result of a well aimed deadie.

Very hazy night anyway.

Have sighted Rhumsaa bazillions of times in Douglas - usually lunchtime - but not at all for months for some reason.

Fraid not dude. Been at work in the sprawling Metropolis all day followed by a session of being Santa's taxi for the mrs to deliver her presents, then briefly in Tesco, then home for some relaxing (cheap) beers that the hapless shoppers in tesco failed to see the last few crates of. I've spotted you a couple of times oop north where it's grim but not been up that way for a few months sorry.

Ace - cheers bud. If they happen to be playing Kraftwerk - we are the robots, or perhaps Automatic by the Pointer Sisters at the time that would be a huge bonus point!

Did I hear a mention of someone doing the robot? Ace! Always an impressive sight, and even more so if it's done badly. Do you incorporate the classic 'Mime' moves of lifting a cup of tea and sticking your hands up against the invisible window? Will have to witness this spectacle!

Ha ha - he's a good lad really, Q. Got you now yes. Yes, that delightful nickname was duly passed onto myself in time and then cunningly shortened to the mildly less offensive version you see here.
