@mammuthus On the plus side, one of my favourite dad-jokes is calling it the four day fivecast. The kids don’t even react anymore.

@mammuthus The phrase ‘quarter of a century ago’ makes me think early eighties…man I feel old.

@AmyL_IoM I fell off that boardwalk once, sank up to my knees in the mud. Instinctively grabbed the thing in front of me to pull myself out…turns out it was a dead sheep.

@smartereveryday Today I listened to @corywong Wong Notes episode where he talks to Victor Wooten and it was amazing. Such a great message for us all,and young people especially, about sense of self and creativity.

@2of Lloyds (IOM) lets you log into website with a password and then selected characters from ‘memorable information’, no app required. I guess the UK site would be the same?

@DrRachelGlover @Derek_Flint1 @manxtelecom We’ve had similar problems. Assigning static IPs to the devices has helped, but not totally cured it.

@standupmaths @alexjameshq @bechillcomedian @helenarney @MouldS @thebigfeastival On the same bill as Justin Fletcher, you’ve hit the big time!

Amazing performance tonight for the last night of Six the Musical @s_ninian. Well done to all the wonderfully talented and hard working young people involved.

@Nick_Pettigrew My favourite is places near each other, spelled similarly but pronounced completely differently. We have Kewaigue (Kyoo-egg) and Port Lewaigue (Lay-guh).

@DudleyButt Likewise. My grandmother’s first husband was an ARP warden and died as a result of injuries he suffered during a raid. She then moved home to the Island and met my grandfather.

@StevenShorrock Track 9 feels like it has some gnarly polyrhythms.
