Not sure those 8 stud wheels holding the barn up will fit that cart Dennis? 
We had a haulier around here who was into harness racing, I think that his widow still organises the odd event.

Ha Ha Dennis now we know how you started your transport firm!
Well Norm how do you fancy your chances driving those two boys ? A few minutes after that shot was taken I was flying round the field next to the Farm,bloody great ! No gears,no brakes,no steering wheel,no windscreen wipers ! Go on Lads,pick them feet up,!! Cheers Dennis.
Dennis I have been on the back of a horse several times, but I will stick to betting on them, just like women, they don’t alway do what you expect them to do.

hiya,
I bought a young donkey when I was a much younger fellah, I also bought
a young billy goat to keep it company, why you may ask because in those
days we had a large overgrown allotment containing a large wooden shed
the donkey had a go at kicking me at every opportunity and billy used to
tup me up the arse every time I turned my back, when I decided to part
with them thinking I might make a few bob with both of them them being
fully grown. I couldn’t get any offers and it took ages to give them away,
one of lifes losers if ever there was one, never even made a bob or two out
of the end product the other allotment holders used to nick it when I was
away down the road, did get a joint of meat and a pound of sausages from
the local butcher so you can guess where “Billy” ended up the last I saw of
“Dunc the Donk” was him acting up for the two guys who were trying to put
him in the horsebox, phew. 
thanks harry, long retired.

thanks harry, long retired.Harry you could say,
That one fell on deaf ears, or stoney ground, or hit the s***.
hiya,
Being a donkey is what I’m good at, just ask the wife she tells me so
every day and as for acting the goat I excel at that as well, I think I
am just a waste of space. but nobody’s perfect.
thanks harry, long retired.
Harry you are 50 per cent there, I have no idea about the other half! 
After watching the Northwest News this evening it has just dawned on me what Mr. Webb is being employed to do on the IOM ! Apparently the old Gaelic lingo became extinct on the island 30 or 40 years ago so Chris offered to teach the school kids the old lingo ! ( for a fat fee,of course !) trouble is within a year or two the island will be echoing to “De Dah”,well it sounds a lot like the old norse gaelic so who’ll know the difference eh! never mind trying to prove it’s not!!And yer not getting yer brass back either pal !! Anon 1.

It was never extinct,although nearly. There are still some owd 'uns that speak Manx Gaelic and several people learning it,including my wife - it comes in handy when we go to France,Germany,Italy and Switzerland tha knows.
It’s a bit like Welsh only twice as bad,you cannot decipher a Manx word into English,although I found out that “Brecon” is Manx for Wales,so there you are tha knows 'appen.

You are,without doubt Chris,a mine of very interesting info,providing someone (like me,or “H” !) asks the right question.It was quite interesting though to-night,I wonder if that old lingo would be understood in Norway/Sweden or does it pre-date the Vikings I wonder?.I know that some of the broad ■■■■■■■■ dialect is understood by Scandinavians.Interesting all the same Chris.

It predates the Vikings I think but got a bit of Scandanavian mixed in when we were invaded. Cronk is hill,voddy is dog and oie vie is goodnight. Immanagh tram is tram driver. Dot is Department of Transport.

What is the translation into ancient “Manx” for “Dry Bugger” !! Cheers Dennis.

Thought you’d like that Dennis.
If you ever want to insult a Manxman,ask him which part of Liverpool he comes from.
The Manx dialect has a hint of Scouse in it plus a bit of ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ ends of Ireland,Wales,Preston,Galloway and lately Sheffield.

When we running out of the Henry Cooke mill at Milnthorpe there was a lad that worked in the sales office called Stuart Callister who was a native of the IOM ! he was a character as well and had that accent you describe Chris.I recall one “Bewick” Christmas eve “do” in the Coach and Horses in Milnthorpe,everbody was “■■■■■■■ and ready for home at 4 pm and there was still £14 (IIRC) left of what had been a substantial kitty behind the Bar,I said “share it between the charity boxes” no wasy say’s Callister clinging on to the bar!,he wasn’t leaving until it was all “supped”,I thought,typical Manxman,a reet greedy ■■■■ !!

Sounds about rayt Dennis,and Callister - well you can’t get much more Manx than that. There are literally hundreds of Cowleys,Callisters,Quines,Quayles,Corletts,Wattersons,Christians and heaps of others on the IOM,all sound Manx names,so thas got to be careful what you say about folk over here,they could well be related.
Incidentally,if you are not Manx born you are known as a “comeover”. A pal of mine,aged 70, has been here since he was about ten and is still a “comeover” . The old saying over here is “If you don’t like the Isle of Man,there’s a boat in the morning”.
I’m simply known as the Sheffield Bas*ard.
hiya,
That’s not very nice Chris I would have expected a man of your means
to be more revered than that I expect the natives doff their caps when
you come into view, then again Yorkshire, I do sympathise with you was
you a Lancastrian the accolade would have been automatic.

Spot on Dave,and my name has been mentioned in high places - Woodhead,Snake Pass,Stainmore,Beattock to name but a few.
No cap doffing to me Harry,I’m a Sheffielder completely outnumbered by Lancastrians. In fact the parish of Onchan up the road from Douglas should have either a Preston,Blackburn or Liverpool post code.
