Both correct ES - it depends whether they are stood face to face of back to back.
Nowadays PNP apparently means party and play and refers to ‘recreational’ drugs… Btw Bob - in the case of my local resident wood pigeons, other products tend to stick

My drugs of choice are Adalat for blood pressure, Bumetanide for water retention and Solpadine as my morning after pill. I defy you to pick a better trio.

My pal’s wife came home with four cases of beer, three boxes of wine, two bottles of
whisky and two loaves of bread. "Are we expecting guests?" he asked. "No," she replied. "Then why did you buy so much bread?

When my mate woke up this morning, his wife had him in a head lock.
He said “I think she had a wrestler’s night.”

Indeed, Rusty. There is the old rag trade adage.

In 1964 the IoMSP fleet was 6 or 7, serving the then Summer bread and butter tourist trade - all steamers then. Wiki gives a good run down. They did not only run to Liverpool and there were also excursions (while at Colwyn Bay I could use the Llandudno excursion to nip home for half a day).
The end of exchange control marked the end of that money in any real sense of the word which is easily seen in that the native needs are satisfied with the Ben My Chree (all year, Heysham) and in Summer the fastcraft, Manannin. A new Manxman will be delivered in the new year from Hyundai. For some strange reason we are having to build a terminal for the IOMSPC to replace the floating dock which the side-loaders used to use. We then, presumably, pay again to use it.

Out in Dublin city centre on Friday evening with the Memsahib for a bite of grub and a few drinks. Met a couple from the IOM, Union Mills, over for the weekend (me neither) and they were great craic and they have given me faith that IOM is not beyond saving, indeed it is not now compulsory to marry your cousin. Needless to say I learned more in one hour of Guinness and Jameson than I have from 10 years of Lord V's random jottings.
I am considering buying a Ducati.

Now that you are fully up to speed on Island life and politics you can answer Rusty's question.
(Don't offer your opinion until you have been off that black muck and the varnish remover for at least 4 hours).

I sailed with Neil Jameson. His Dad was Tech Super for Westminster Dredgers in the Mersey. Rumour has it (my lips are sealed) that pure Jameson ran in his bloodstream! Nuff said. I shall now recede to the shadows.............! Those were the days,"Penang, '82.............".

I told this kid in my street to ask his Dad if he wanted my old sofa and chairs.
He told me he wasn't allowed to accept suites from strangers

Had a bad day today. I paid a carpenter to build us a bespoke double bed and found out he's done a bunk !!! It's just one thing on top of another.

My pal’s neighbours, Tom and Lisa Hall, came round for a pre-Christmas drink. They’re always quite argumentative especially after a lot to drink.
As expected, a fight broke out and to defend himself, my pal grabbed some festive greenery and decked the Halls with boughs of holly.

Just curious…….. If ex TV Celeb, Isla St Clair had married Barry White, presumably she’d be Isla White?
And if, when Barry White died, she remarried the lead singer of Roxy Music, would she be Isla White-Ferry?
