UFO sighted near Isle of Man

You are absolutely right Dylan, and your reply is well taken. When I wrote
this little tidbit I should have read it over a bit better before posting
it. I notice now that the word "even" was a misplaced insertion and totally
unnecessary. The objective of the post was to say something funny about the
cats and was never meant to imply any disrespect to the Isle itself.
The funny thing is that had I left out the word "even", I would have
achieved that perfectly.
Please accept my apology. I'm sure the Isle is an interesting and beautiful
place.

Smiley accepted, but as someone who lives in the Isle of Man (and
indeed, has an Isle of Man passport) plenty of exciting stuff happens
here. It's the 100th anniversary of the TT motorcycle races this year -
the TT being the best motorcycle road race in the world (and we have
four road racing events, the TT, the Manx GP, the Southern 100, and the
Jurby South).

Other exciting stuff - Saturday, I went flying in the Auster (both for
fun and towing gliders), and we got some wave lift off North Barrule. I
ended up flying through a bit of the rotor, and I thought the plane was
about to go upside down at one point!

No, I didn't see a UFO. Unfortunately, the only unusual event I've seen
here recently is a sport aircraft have a departure stall/spin accident a
week ago :-( (Fortunately both on board survived; the front seat pilot
is smashed up but will live to fly another day, the back seat passenger
(owner of the plane) got away with a broken ankle, sternum and some
bruising. He described impacting perpendicular to the ground. Both are
very very lucky to survive a stall/spin).
