With all due respect, Kate Lord-Streetflats is barely 40 with a Leeds degree in EU studies...never sure how these people are suddenly qualified to comment on such key issues.

Oh, and the Rendezvous lounge now has a permanent "Due to staffing shortages..."sign on the window, and is looking a bit tumbleweedy inside.

B'ham lunchtime was cancelled at 5pm the day before. Please ring this number. (rings) This number is too busy and not adding any callers to the queue. (45 mins. later, gets through) Sorry - your ticket was issued by BA, you have to ring them (rings BA) The Loganair booking says "already flown" (fr flight dated the next day). It's their mistake - you have to ring them. (rings Loganair at 1803h) "The office hours of Loganair are...." Luckily found v reasonable ticketing person at Ronaldsway to put me onto morning Heathrow. Plan B was afternoon LCY - then saw that was eventually cancelled too.

MNH now "Closed for refurbishment until Summer 2024 (reopening date to be announced)"...

A bit like Ballasalla, then.

Exactly. Liked wilted spinach.

I think it's just the Queen Concubine, or whatever the hell she's called. Bray Hill garage better stock up on the Marlboro.

I'm sorry, I'm afraid this is an English-language forum.

There's a degree of sense in what you say.

Well, there are always people who fancy second/holiday homes in the south of most countries, right?

"Families" now consisting of 1/2/3 members, instead of the previous 4/5/6++?

The only thing for sure if that, if anyone does go to see it, they won't be able to get a coffee at the nearby café!!

Oh, what happened to you? Whatever happened to me?!

I'm guessing that's the Manx Heritage portal....pure science fiction indeed!

*bump* - still nothing on Niarbyl Café?! The "late winter 2023" schedule as per the website has been and gone!

By "such people", are you referring to ex B-formers?

Well, it's great to know it worked, extending your life by years and protecting those around you. Plus, I'm guessing you don't permanently stink of shit any more. Of course, you could have continued to just stink your own house out, but it seems you didn't want to.

Great to read the old smoking ban whingers!

The Narrator was appalling. Why go to all the effort of imbibing it with "local colour" then ruin it with that?

Guernsey now introducing new destinations....not IOM of course, but at least they're offering the locals options!

Any update on the rumour mill?!

In a feeble attempt at merging two threads, I wonder if Easyjet have teamed up with HOPS bar, and don't bother flying when there's no rugby on?!

Also, tomorrow morning LGW-IOM already full.

Just as a by-the-by, the Weds night IOM-LGW arrived in London at nearly midnight! Surprised Ronaldsway stayed open that late?

Maybe they were just reading their Kindle?
