🏍️ More Than Words – Episode 28: Man, Overboard 🏍️
From thundersnow skepticism to toilet reviews, because the Isle of Man’s tourism strategy is apparently “motorcycles at 200mph, Victorian waterwheels, and suspiciously clean public loos.”
Featuring:
⚡ Thundersnow: didn’t exist in my day, fight me
🏴☠️ St Maughold: Irish pirate → hermit → bishop
🎯 TT races: 200mph through front gardens, neurosurgeon-level precision
🛞 Lady Isabella Wheel: still turning 170 years later
🚽 Maughold toilets: achieving TripAdvisor acclaim unavailable to most saints
🐴 Douglas horse trams: overtaking modern traffic since 1876
🍟 Chips, cheese & gravy: “the national dish of the Manx people,” per one confident chippy owner
🦘 Kerroogaroo: budget kangaroo knock-off you can probably order from Temu
It’s virtual travel with Old Git weather complaints, shape-shifting water-horses, 0.12 Manx Gaelic swearers, and public conveniences worthy of UNESCO status.
