bluemonday Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Excellent news, we should proceed en masse to Port Erin and throw ourselves in all at once in joyous celebration. ( And film it ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Excellent news, we should proceed en masse to Port Erin and throw ourselves in all at once in joyous celebration. ( And film it ) Nah - far more fun would be to just throw those working for the DTL in, wearing concrete slippers. Who the heck is 'Keef' anyway? With the crunch, Douglas is gonna be twinned with 'Tumbleweed Town' this summer IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I'll be sure to say I'm 'coasteering' if i ever get into hot water for jumping off a cliff. Very unlikely to get anywhere near hot water by jumping off a cliff on the island! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcCann Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Surely they should now reconsider, what with submerged lighthouses littering the Island's coastline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digga Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 The bloody cheek of it ,Just seen an advert on the history channel for Wales of all places and in the advert a bloke jumps in the sea similar to are very own advert , wonder if this will cause the same outcry aparently it only took 6 complaints to have our advert put under investigation.

BigDave Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 They're on www.visitisleofman.com if you're that desparate for them. it only took 6 complaints to have our advert put under investigation Have a look on the ASA website. They investigate everything they receive a complaint for, even if it's just 1 complaint. It's amazing what some people will complain about.

TerryMcCann Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 In that case I'm going to complain about that new air freshner ad with the badly lip synched child wanting to go to his friends to take a shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
