woolley Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Could this not have gone in the idiot drivers thread from a couple days ago? Such a waste of a finite resource. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc.fixit Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Just followed a car that never went above 30 from Sulby to Ramsey and then dropped to between 20 and 25 in the 30 limit. They also braked at almost every bend. Of course there was another car between me and them who just wouldn't overtake. A Renault something nipped into the gap in front of me, (fine), and then took a bit of a risk to get past the two of them. I might have just about passed if I had been in the Merc but no chance in the van. Don't know the answer but I wish there was one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolley Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Don't know the answer but I wish there was one. Think a smile. You probably won't get there more than 5 minutes later wherever you are going. It could be your old Mum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc.fixit Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 true. we were more amused than anything else. The silly game we play to keep sane is thinking of different, usually implausible reasons for the speed or lack of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossils Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 They're out there in force and they still can't see where they're going! A Christmas present that may save lives. If someone that you know drives with little or no view over their steering wheel, buy them a booster cushion and insist that they use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is completely off-topic but.....how often do you see a map or world globe where North is depicted as being at the bottom. Therefore...Ramsey....up North. Castletown, Pt's Erin and St Mary....down south. Lets have an argument.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donald Trumps Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 When the Vikings arrived us Manx peasants were forced up into the rough old hills to live a life close to misery with what of our livestock they permitted us to keep The pointy heads took all the best land which happened to be low lying & in the north, thus is known as 'down north' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc.fixit Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 wow, didn't know that! lol. (wonder if it's true?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Its true. As is the saying 'Up shit creek' which comes from the Vikings in Peel...from when the Vikings discovered Okell's being sold at the Creek Inn back then. Few people know that the reason the Vikings left was due to Okells. Tell the youth of that today and they won't believe you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossils Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Few people know that the reason the Vikings left was due to Okells. Tell the youth of that today and they won't believe you. Even fewer people realise that a Viking invented driverless cars......... Henrik Fjord, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
