What's it like on the Isle of Man?

[venator]

My wife is looking at a very good job in Douglas.
If you live there, could clue me in on the quality of life, please?

Dull.
Do you drink much?
Cos there's fcuk else to do on there.
Unless you've got a motorbike.

Probably a little more informative that the answers so far, lol.

[123everton]

Wild guess, you either got drunk or laid.
Unless it was during the T.T, in which case you could do all three.

[123everton]

But without the former, you may have struggled to do the latter, lol.
I'd better go now....

I knew a girl from there once; her name was Kelly. Has anybody seen Kelly from the Isle of Mann?

[NazNomad]

Not 'three-legged Kelly from Ballakilpheri'?

Did she not keep in touch?

Lyrics
Kelly and his sweetheart wore a very pleasant smile,
And sent upon a holiday they went from Mona's Isle,
They landed safe in London but alas it's sad to say,
For Kelly lost his little girl up Piccadilly way.
She searched for him in vain and then of course began to fret,
And this is the appeal she made to everyone she met:

Has anybody here seen Kelly?
K-E-double-L-Y.
Has anybody here seen Kelly?
Find him if you can!
He's as bad as old Antonio,
Left me on my own-ee-o,
Has anybody here seen Kelly?
Kelly from the Isle of Man!

When it started raining she exclaimed, "What shall I do?"
For Kelly had her ticket and her spending money too,
She wandered over London like a hound upon the scent,
At last she found herself outside the Houses of Parliament.
She got among the suffragettes who chained her to the grille,
And soon they heard her shouting in a voice both loud and shrill:

Has anybody here seen Kelly?
K-E-double-L-Y.
Has anybody here seen Kelly?
Find him if you can!
He's as bad as old Antonio,
Left me on my own-ee-o,
Has anybody here seen Kelly?
Kelly from the Isle of Man!

The Isle of Man is a bit like Canada, only a lot smaller and without the bears, Eskimos and Mounties.

Isle of Man is a lovely place for a holiday. A friend of mine was born and lived there until she went to uni and never went back as jobs were few and not much night life

[ummmm]

When I went I just noticed it was full of men.
