    Oh I wish they did, that would make it so much more exciting dont you think?
    Anyway, the ceremony is currently going on now, this is when they make all the laws etc, but that incredibly boring as the speak it all not only in english, but then in manx
    So me and my friends are going around 4 o clock to watch some live manx bands and other entertainment.
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    Hey Ian, are Backdoor Slam playing? And where is it?

    As for the Tynwald ceremony, yeah it's really boring. And no horses get drunk.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
