I have to agree with you Helen...

Let's forget the problems.................................

This is the most special event of the year and once over there, we will witness a superfest of motorcycling in all forms.

I will leave worrying until the second week and then see how things pan out..

I look forward to seeing everybody over there, mines a pint !!

What do I do on non-race days ? There's so much to do re-enactments, sprints, rallies, a trip up Snaefell, a look at some of the glens (compare with 1947 !) and try the queenies.

One thing about the Island, you are NEVER EVER bored but your schedule needs a bit of fore-planning so you don't get too many overlaps !

No, I can forget the cares and woes once I step (drive) off the ferry and see Douglas in front of me....with the pubs, shops and hotels!!

No, I am not a aclohiloc but the sea air makes you very very thirsty.

You lucky lot on the Island..
