Pimp My Ride

House Sign on the Isle Of Man

Translates as

PIMP MY RIDE?

We See Only What We Want To See

It was our last day on the Isle Of Man and we were killing time in the pleasingly twee seaside resort of Douglas, when I saw this:-

At the GAIETY THEATRE the signs were up for the forthcoming show,

THE 39 STEPS.

On the side of the RED VAN the name of the company was BUCHAN.

What, I thought to myself are the chances of that?

I called over MeWally to take a look.

"What are the chances of that?" He asked.

We chortled a bit at our Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dumness in Tweetown and then I took a picture, as I do.

Now I know what's on the side of the van, 
BUCHANAN.

It sums up our holiday and, to some extent, life; 

NOT EVERYTHING IS AS IT FIRST APPEARS 

and

IF IT LOOKS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT PROBABLY IS.

MeWally On A Wall - Friday 1.6.12

Once again, tea at the ready, we set off to look for BASKING SHARKS here in PEEL, which is where we're staying.

EASY LIFE.

I didn't have the heart to tell MeWally that he was facing the wrong way.

Needless to say we didn't spot anything apart from the things HERE!

After a dull, damp dawn, eventually the sun came out - Yippeeee!
