For those interested 2 recent legs of this new competition were played in the last few weeks with the Isle of Man represented by the one and only Mike 'Steady Hands' Atherton and The Big Island represented by Mr Mark 'The Great White' Franks....
Despite a valiant effort in the return leg to get Mark drunk, Mike only managed to get a Draw with 2 games each which unfortunately was not enough to beat the current aggregated score of 6.... yes I will say it again... 6 - 2 to the UK...
I am sure that further rounds will be played out in the near future as Mike's pride is a little battered.........
Plastic.... it's The End I tell you... THE END!!!!

You should know by now Barry that Mike only gives work to those who he can beat (call it a bung) not sure you boys will be welcome again.

Morning Vic, thats the 'tease', he has to get revenge on the table somehow, so we will have to go back for some more and the only bunging was when he kept knocking the black in... at the wrong time... LOL

Good Morning Mr P, I hope your plan is without flaw. I trust "knocking the black" isn't a reference to the pups. Seems like a bit of good hospitality over there, do they supply dancing girls as well?

They are a very nice 'people' still with a culture similar to Ireland, and when the weather is nice a glorious place to be, not so when it is wet and windy......
As for dancing girls may well do Vic but we never saw any as we did not have time to visit Peel...........

Careful now Barry... else the large cheque for your sterling work will be 'lost in the post'.
It must also be said, in respect of the pool, that Barry is utter crap... what was the score between you and I again, Barry? And as for Mark 'The Great Red" Franks (considering the colour of him after spending the week swanning on the beach)... he's just a lucky so and so!!!
How's the Nissan Primastar treating you?

LOL @ Mike..... now I never pretended to be any good, but at least I got you worried for a few seconds until you saw how erratic my game is.. that black so should have dropped..... I was just the warm up for you both... and I wasn't counting cos I wasn't bothered..

Not worried... just highly amused, Barry... sums up the last couple of weeks though so all is good!
Proud owners of a 'Renault' tractor now... and a Gator thrown in for good measure.... softens the blow to my pride somewhat!
