I for one always make time for a jaunt on the clippety clop machine as my boys call the horse trams.
Nothing quite like it anywhere (in Backpool they have the first electric trams)


Anyway also this year we went to Castletown on the steam train. One trip I will never make again is the electric train. It's a long story and my mate even wrote song about the last trip on that train.
The last line of the song goes
"the next time we go to Laxey I think we'll take a fec**** taxi

Compared to you old guys I'm only a teenager in IOM visits but even after racing in the Manx the thrill of watching is just the same as it was in 1985 when I saw my first TT from Signpost and the first bike to get there...........................number 3.

Nick is right we need to fight to preserve the TT and all thats good about it and all that surrounds it.

Time for some snot, blood, sweat and bulging eyes.

PS
Nick in the past week two different people on two different occassions have noted the my "big fat bottom" is smaller. Progress :?:
