Fossils Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Lucky escape for best man! (Manx Radio) Published online at 24/08/2009 12:01:42 The best man at an Island wedding had a lucky escape on Saturday – when a piece of housing on a church bell fell off and hit him. The accident happened after a marriage at Malew Church as the wedding party were leaving the building. But he only received a cut and, although it required hospital treatment, he was well enough not only to attend the wedding reception later but also to deliver his speech.

Albert Tatlock Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 "when a piece of housing on a church bell fell off and hit him." Shouldn't that be 'a piece of churching'? I wish I'd thought of that one on my wedding day, and a conveniently marked X for the bride. Oh for a time machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemonday Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 http://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/Best-man-st...iron.5581475.jp The piece of metal just sheared in two and came crashing down,' he said. 'It was about 18-inches long, a long thin piece shaped like a spear. Just like the First Omen (except not as long ) He described the incident as an 'act of God' b Isn't that an exclusion on most insurance policies? Shouldn't it be an inclusion for church insurance policies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 This is lead story in the Examiner! On the back of the Indie's non-story about a biker being returned to Nobles who was left at the Sea Terminal when his ambulance didn't turn up. Is the editor in holiday or are they just touting the front page to any shameless self publicist with a minor tale to tell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
