A small island country in the Irish Sea between England and Ireland measuring 15 miles wide by 32 miles long.
The capital of the country is Douglas.
It is now being overwhelmed by English and Irish people to the point where the small island and it's natural beauty is being destroyed.
Native people to the Island are known as Manx people. The native language is also Manx although English is spoken as the norm.
The country is known worldwide for Manx Cats (cats born without tails) and Loghtan sheep as well as the TT (Tourist Trophey) motor cycle races.
While the Isle of Man is part of Britain, it is not part of the United Kingdom.
Native Manx people are actually a minority on the Island due to the inlux of English and Irish due to it's status as an off-shore tax haven.
The English and Irish have overwhelmed the Island simply by numbers and even if they haven't meant to they have killed off it's charm and beauty, forcing Manx people to leave in search for cleaner pastures.
Although the Isle of Man is basically a retirement home for many people, the drunken nightlife has led the Island to become even dirtier than before.
There is little to nothing for teenagers and young adults to do apart from drink which is why the Island has the highest alcoholism rate in Britain.
Although it used to be lovely and full of life... it is now a pretty disgusting place to live with the kind of life you find in a yoghurt pot after leaving it for three days in the sun.

I visited the Isle of Man for my holidays and will not be going back there. The brochure lied to me! :-(

Get the Isle of Man mug.An island in the South Pacific where all the male inhabitants are in dire need of female companionship. Any female visiting this island is assured of being laid, no matter how vile or disgusting she may look. The inhabitants don't care about fupas, gunts, excessive body hair, duct cheese or any type of sexually transmitted disease. A paradise for ugly and fugly women.
Cathy couldn't get any guy to lay her, so she traveled to the Isle of Kumoniwannalaya and got more ass than a toilet seat.

A small island off the south coast of England. Referred to by the Beatles as a place to holiday when you're 64, the Island is notorious for its surplus of OAP's as this garden Isle can be a relaxing place to live with a very slow pace of life.
However, life for anyone below the age of 65 can be very boring unless you are extremely rich or stupid. There are very little job prospects, the education system is terrible and the social exclusion rates are like those of a major mainland city. There is very little for kids to do, fashion takes 5 months plus to translate to the Island's people. The cost of living is quite high- for example, McDonalds raise the price of all the goods 10p more than mainland prices to account for shipping.
With all the negative stuff out the way, the air is cleaner, life is calmer; you feel more secure here than on the mainland. Raising your kids here in theory is great as you can let them out on the streets and you know that if they step one tootsie out of line, the neighbours will tell you all about it. Everyone knows everyone, probably related to someone, somehow. It's an excellent place to re-evaluate your life simply because you realise that you have so much going for life elsewhere. Plus, we have a couple of brilliant breathtaking festivals every year and Hendrix Played Here!!!!

Get the Isle of Wight mug.An island off the south coast of England, the Isle of Wight is a land of beauty. It has a lot of nice seaside towns and they all have attractions. Some people equate it with being in England in the 1950s, but there's nothing wrong with that surely.
On the Isle of Wight there is a museum containing the skeleton of a Finback Whale (the second largest after the Blue Whale) which was washed up some years ago near The Needles.

Get the isle of dogs mug.Where most people are attracted to the same sex. A lot of history involved with this little community. The dangerous seas and Rocky shores were no match for the retired chain gang. Would highly recommend visiting here if on the southwest coast of NL. You will feel at home.
