    I don't drink but it hasn't stopped me having shameful moments. Had one today at work. I was talking about age gaps in relationships and she said there's 17 years between her and her fiance.

    "Which way round?" I asked

    She looked at me horrified "You're not suggesting I'm engaged to a 10 year old?" she asks

    "You're only 27?" I ask. I honestly thought she was about 40. Ooops

    'fraid the "Duke" is still going strong, any other "good" ideas who is to go next? Did anyway really predict Steve Hislops demise, very famous rider both internationally and also on the Island here.

     

    Handy where on the Island are you from?

    Oh, and until fairly recently, homosexuality was punishable by birching.

    The Isle of Man is a small island, part of the UK, and in the Irish Sea mid-way between England and Ireland. Once a successful little tax haven and home to a handful of high achievers it has - of late - seen these people depart as UK taxes have fallen, hence the need to - erm - diversify.

     

    Currently hosting the annual TT races, suicidallty dangerous motorbike events on public roads.

     

    And women weren't allowed to go to funerals until the 1940s. I only stay for the men in leather

    Debatable whether there ever was a Welsh Film Industry or just some parts of film production based in Wales. Take yer point about Twin Towns Pulphack but the whole thing wasn't wall to wall Welsh money and Welsh staff.

     

    Some odd places get into films. The Isle of Man Film Commission have turned the deadbeat rural parts of the place into a prime location, offering incentives to people to go over there and film. Recently the IOM has doubled for Ireland in Waking Ned, Torquay and Devon in Blackball and Suffolk in I Capture the Castle.

     

    And you can't get much odder than the Isle of Man

    So this is the first time that I've majorily "enjoyed beverages" and I went to this thread to see what I could post.

    But then I was like, why would I want to fight with fellow DLers? Why not spread the love?

     

    Handrejka: Where have you been lately?

     

    You missed me out. Twat. Ain't no love spreading from me. :lol::)

     

    Handrejka's on holiday at the moment.

     

    I'm back now though. So what have I missed?

    According to his autobiography he is in complete remission. I'd be more concerned about those close to him, Madeline Kahn, Gilda Radner and Richard Prior have all died young.

    Just the other evening in nearly rapid succession, I viewed part of Stir Crazy on one television channel and then saw Willy Wonka on another. That Augustus Gloop fellow certainly is a hoot! As to Mr. Wilder, I have long enjoyed his work although not near as much as certain other entertainers.

     

    looked a bit orange to me when I saw him in London signing books earlier this year!

     

    Are you sure you're not mistaking him for an Oompah Loompah?
