"Looks like i.m going to be billy no mates 
You'll be fine, you are very keen. It's a bit early for most to start thinking about the Manx."
We have been booked since the beginning of the month when Basher told us Ferry bookings had been released   |

"hi all the sailings are released for next years manx book early to get a bargain i have  "
If only
Finances are very tight.
Last few trips to Ukraine and Zaporihzhia have totally drained all my savings ?? got abt £1.18 left from over £20k.
I'd love to go, being an avid biker (and race marshal) for over 35yrs (me and wife had our honeymoon at the '92 TT marshalling (flagging n shagging) but I cant help thinking any funds I can raise would be better spent with getting me back to Zaporihzhia to work with my colleagues helping out with the NovaKhakova and Kherson areas.
Probably gonna get slated for this but hey.. I do what I do |

"Whats the dates for the manx 2024. And what would I expect to pay if booked now"
Don't think ferries for Manx 24 are available till January. Do a search for dates on the web they should be up for next year. We are going as foot passengers this year £86 return all in for the two of us. If I want to put bike on it goes up to £430 |

"Can't wait
Am travelling on two wheels via steam packet. 24th-28th
Last time I was at Isle of man was TT 1996 so been a while"
we've been doing TT for over 20 years, go every year. It's not like it was back in the day when you last visited. Started going to Manx 2018 so now do that every year now as well. We just love the Island |

Wow,the last 20 years you must have some great memories. Yes, from what I've seen and heard, it's watered down slightly from the madness of Douglas sea front with bikes doing burnouts and wheelies up and down. Remember massive crowds as we came off the ferry. The Island itself looks fantastic also |

Not if you know where to look "
We look o Fab, maybe there is a secret hand shake over there then..... We have managed to meet 1 single respectful guy on the Island for fun in all the time we have been looking. Trouble is the amount of disrespectful and time wasters is the norm as we have lost count how many of them we have had. We thought the other year we had found a nice couple, well they were nice but it turned out it was just him wanting fun. Seemed the social she was the bait. We could go on for many paragraphs about the fab crazies on the rock. Don't get us wrong it is bad enough over here on the mainland but over there it is another level |

"Out of interest did you search, read profiles and contact locals on here directly?
It's a small community, different to many in the UK I'll agree, but not everyone is crazy. "
We've here that quote over and over again, It's a small community (Island) is that a good excuse to mess people around? Seems to be.
How else would you use fab, search, read profiles and contact locals on here directly. However how many times do we want to be messed about? Just about gave up over there, all chat but couldn't possibly meet as the whole island will know we are swingers.... Really |
