Hi Richard,thanks for the photos.A lot of the RAF hangars at Jurby have been renovated and it’s quite a busy industrial area - well for the IOM anyway :laughing: .
Have you got any more? Older pics of lorries on the IOM are hard to come by.
And always have marine insurance if you bring a wagon over… :laughing:

Charlie’s not as funny as he used to be bowser. :frowning:
When I was a kid the old folks used to pee themselves whenever he came on the telly and said “HARLOW MY DARLINGS”, I don’t know what the question was but I presume thats where he came from.
Some of the old folks used to pee themselves and the telly wasn’t even switched on.
I was watching him last night when he was playing that famous Greek detective Hercules Parrot he sounded more like he was trying to speak French to me, in fact bowser I ain’t no detective but he sounds like he has lost the plot to me :cry: .

A mate of mine Dave Shawcross has just sent me this

12 of the finest (unintentional) double-entendres ever aired on British TV and radio:

  1. Ted Walsh - Horse Racing Commentator - ‘This is really a lovely horse. I once rode her mother.’

  2. New Zealand Rugby Commentator - ‘Andrew Mehrtens loves it when Daryl Gibson comes inside of him.’

  3. Pat Glenn, weightlifting commentator - ‘And this is Gregoriava from Bulgaria . I saw her ■■■■■■ this morning and it was amazing!’

  4. Harry Carpenter at the Oxford-Cambridge boat race 1977 - ‘Ah, isn’t that nice. The wife of the Cambridge President is kissing the Cox of the Oxford crew’

  5. US PGA Commentator - ‘One of the reasons Arnie (Arnold Palmer) is playing so well is that, before each tee shot, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them… Oh my god !! What have I just said??’

  6. Carenza Lewis about finding food in the Middle Ages on ‘Time Team Live’ said: ‘You’d eat beaver if you could get it.’

  7. A female news anchor who, the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn’t, turned to the weatherman and asked, ‘So Bob, where’s that six inches you promised me last night?’ Not only did HE have to leave the set, but half the crew did too, because they were laughing so hard!

  8. Steve Ryder covering the US Masters: ‘Ballesteros felt much better today after a 69 yesterday.’

  9. Clair Frisby talking about a jumbo hot dog on ‘Look North’ said: 'There’s nothing like a big hot sausage inside you on a cold night like this. ’

10 Mike Hallett discussing missed snooker shots on ‘Sky Sports’: ‘Stephen Hendry jumps on Steve Davis’s misses every chance he gets.’

  1. Michael Buerk on watching Philippa Forrester cuddle up to a male astronomer for warmth during BBC1’s UK eclipse coverage remarked: ‘They seem cold out there. They’re rubbing each other and he’s only come in his shorts.’

12… Ken Brown commentating on golfer Nick Faldo and his caddie Fanny Sunneson lining-up shots at the Scottish Open: ‘Some weeks Nick likes to use Fanny; other weeks he prefers to do it by himself.’

P.S. Chris I thought that the Chinaman joke was Velly fully :wink:

Yes Chris, Jimmy Ramsbottom was part of a double act with his brother Albert who had a stick with a horses head handle. They appeared at The Central Pier in Blackpool one weekend and Jimmy mysteriously dissapeared, some say that he fell off the pier others say that he was abducted by alians. Many locals thought that there was a cover up by the Macmillan government at the time as to what really happened to Albert and even Wikileaks was told to keep quite about his vanishing act. :wink:

Jimmy was washed up on the Isle of Man then taken by aliens to Peel Castle Steve.He might still be there,strange things happen over here tha knows.
Owd Albert Ramsbottom,he brings back memories…

There’s a famous seaside place called Blackpool,that’s noted for fresh air and fun,
And Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom went there with young Albert their son…etc.

His uncle was Sam Small who’s still got backache from picking up his musket.
