Forget Japan, forget Canada,- Paul, Milky, Ian and John should take a working trip to Kos and see an island with good open roads for racing, good run-offs, good weather and good facilities. It is probably cheaper to get to as well.

I had a nice holiday and felt quite at home, being greeted each morning with "Kelly-Mera" and in the evening with "Kelly-spera". (must be manx !)

Add to this Polly-Kelly and Kelly-Osborne, and I felt there was a manx connection somewhere.

I met four couples during my stay there who were wearing TT T-shirts (TT Merchandising please note) and we had a few Ouzos/Retzinas chatting about the TTs they have attended and enjoyed.

I was actually on Kos for a super wedding and I am now home to the cold and windy weather.
