I'm currently spending a few days with a mate on the Isle of Man, a tiny island inbetween the Liverpool and the Irish coast, known primarily for the treacherous TT motorbike Race where you're guaranteed a few deaths each year. This place is very very strange, on some Pagan shit. The shops are full of Fairies and weird looking Animal figurines and you feel that at any point someone's gonna ask us 'are you local?', 'cos we stand out like a sore thumb. They refer to people from the mainland as 'come-overs'.
We've renamed the place Wicker Island in reference to one of my favourite films 'The Wickerman'. If you've seen the film then you'll know exactly what this place is like. I wanted to go see if i could rent the film last night, but i would have probably ended up burning somewhere like Edward Woodward, so i've been content amusing myself with youtube clips from the film.
