Just for fun!

Nice idea Vix I'm aso having a virtual part at A726950 if you want to come over

Ahhh dinnae see that one!

I thought it might be fun to have some halloween gruesome names along with familar id's....pun intended

I am glad we are in rural isle of man this year for samhain, I have 2 important people to say good bye to, its gonna be sad. We must look backward and forward at the same time.

Sorry mv, not in a party mood for this one

I have mixed feelings about Halloween, MV - although I am of Scottish heritage, and they "do" Halloween, we generally haven't in NZ until th curse of Rogernomics (Libertarian and Bush/Thatcherite economics) and the accompanying cultural Americanisation of NZ. So, generally, I don't "do" Halloween, any more than I do Dunkin' Donuts, Burger King or Oprah! and for pretty much the same reason...

No problem....ain't gonna force you, or throw a strop if you don't come

*sulk*

No, really not the sulking kind

My Dad lives in the Isle of Man, Kaz I am not Manx myself tho, my Dad married a Manx lady and I have a half sister who is Manx

Check out the magnetic hill on the Island if you get time!

Have many holidays there, will be going there again for hols as soon as greencard comes thro....

I thought I'd put in a hug in there for you..I thought it and didn't type it...

Here it is Kaz

So does this mean you are a tailless fox?

*shhhh's* you'll ruin my street cred.

I was looking for a reference to the hill, and found this link...it contains a bit about the hill and other interesting anormalies.

My Dad took me to this hill when we were first getting to know each other, and my face must have been a picture. We had to literally run after the car to catch it

Thats cool MV! We'll look out for that one.

What part of the IOM do you normally visit?

*hehehe* tuff one that, the Isle is 20x30miles approx...not alot to miss

Actually, mostly Ramsey, especially the pubs, most definately the pubs....lorra pubs Some of em have lock ins too...yays!

Funny that, we are going to Glen Audlyn, outside Ramsey.

ooooo

*foresees Isle of Man TT race being disrupted by hootoo ladies*

Sorta New Age suffragettes?

It is quite a coincidence!

On a more serious note, it was my Dad's b'day Sunday and I still haven't been able to reach him to wish him happy birthday

I ordered a book thro amazon which hasn't arrived yet, even tho it was ordered well nigh on 4th Oct - it is a book about the origins of words, something I know he would enjoy.

I do hope nothing awful has happened and they have just gone away or something and have forgotten to tell me. I called right after I had ordered stuff from amazon to tell my stepmom that it was going to be late....and she mentioned nothing about going away.

Been trying everyday so far...ok so it's only three days, but this is unusual
