Lonan3 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 In the absence of a 'Can you believe it?' section, I've put this MR LINK here. Tourism in the Isle of Man will be celebrated at lunchtime today. Professor Hugh Davidson will be the guest speaker at the 2008 Tourism Awards at the Villa Marina. Prizes will be presented in a number of categories, among them best town/village; best night out; area of most scenic beauty; attraction of the year and best customer service. DTL officials will also hand over a special award for 'Significant contribution to Tourism'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the subject of nights out, around Christmas I was walking along Chester Street about 8 am when I spotted a Pizza box perched on a big wheelie bin near the back of Spam Dregs. Anyway, whoever had bought it the night before had eaten the whole thing and then in what seems an amazing feat of bodily control, puked the whole shebang back into the box without any spillage. Pity he hadn't thought to close the lid though. Mr and Mrs Gull were fastidiously breakfasting on the contents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
