I didn’t know the
Isle of Man was in lockdown.

@ParkheadParadise

That's fantastic News Imagine going into a pub, hugging your friends, no masks on or 2 metres apart. Can I come to visit?
And this is how it spreads.

It really is like playing Whackamole....

It will only take a few infected visitors to re-introduce new strains of the virus onto the Island.

Fantastic news. Enjoy!

WeAllHaveWings · 01/02/2021 15:54

It is a shame we don't live on an island that could control its borders too 🤔

Enjoy your freedom op.

ImsorryWilson · 01/02/2021 15:54

Huzzah!

Please can we hear LOTS of details OP? (genuine - I want to enjoy thinking about it and it's much closer than New Zealand).

TastyTicklemore · 01/02/2021 15:55

I'm sorry, OP, but your post makes no sense at all and whatsoever.

What do you mean OUT of lockdown? How can such a thing be possible? Surely, all there is now are endless lockdowns stretching far into the future... The same day over and over and over again.

I fear you may have the cabin fever and have gone quite, quite mad.

I mean, look how fast January flew by

It didn't. Every day felt like a hundred years.

But I'm very glad for the IoM.

Bluebell9 · 01/02/2021 15:56

@oakleaffy We've got a 2 week quarantine with 3 tests at day 1, 7 and 13 so we should be ok.
We last came out of lockdown in June so we did 6 months with no restrictions before we got another case.

TastyTicklemore · 01/02/2021 15:56

Ain't that the truth? Smile

DobbyTheHouseElk · 01/02/2021 15:56

Guernsey was like that, lockdown again.

Sparklfairy · 01/02/2021 15:57

Can't believe that grown adults aremoaning you're "gloating" just cos they're jealous and it hurtys their feelingz.

Grow up yeah? Fucking sensitive souls do my head in.

I'm happy for you OP. Makes me hopeful we're one step closer to it ourselves Smile

Wish UK could!

Enjoy your old life! 2019

That is absolutely wonderful news for Isle of Man residents, and enjoy every ounce of your newly refound freedoms!

@oakleaffy
My comment shouldn't be taken seriously.🤪😜🤔

I second that...... As probably do a gazillion others .

littlelove84 Great news, lets hope we all follow you soon. Enjoy the day

I knew YOU were joking....But plenty don't. :(

It’s good news. The IOM is tiny though so unfortunately we will be way behind. 😔
Cases may creep up again on the IOM as they are allowing keyworkers in and they don’t all follow the rules unfortunately, despite risking prison. 😬

The last IOM thread I saw didn’t go too well so hopefully this one won’t end up the same. As long as OP isn’t the ‘party central’ poster we should be ok.

Well no bum sex I assume to celebrate, or has the Isle of Man changed the laws on that?

What the flying fuck? Talk about an irrelevant axe to grind.[/quote]
That's only a faux pas because

a) it's not Friday and
b) there isn't a centreparc

LincolnshireYellowBelly · 01/02/2021 16:01

Amazing news!

Wherediditgo · 01/02/2021 16:01

This is great news and congratulations Flowers
Can you party extra hard for those of us who can’t? Smile

Squarepigeon · 01/02/2021 16:03

Enjoy?

unmarkedbythat · 01/02/2021 16:04

Enjoy :)

pinkearedcow · 01/02/2021 16:04

Are you the poster who was trying to decide which outfit to wear to the pub?

inquietant · 01/02/2021 16:05

So jealous!

Hope it lasts and enjoy it while it does.
