Does everyone on that island play this game? Jeez, you're everywhere.
I've heard of it, I saw it on a map when I was small and thought it was a funny name.

Isle of Man? Is that near Jamaica?
When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball
Re: Who here has heard of the Isle of Man?
I always thought it was spelled "Isle of Mann". Google gets results both with either one or two letter "n".

Re: Who here has heard of the Isle of Man?
I heard of it when I was a kid, and I was fascinated by the idea that there was this language, Manx, which was only spoken by a few hundred people. My best friend and me used to joke about how someday, when the human race enters into an interstellar empire, everyone will speak Manx.
Jokes like that are really funny when you're eleven years old.
Re: Who here has heard of the Isle of Man?
Heard of it, been there, but I am a biker.
Nice place, if you like small islands in cold seas. Which I do.

Re: Who here has heard of the Isle of Man?
There are a handful of Okells (IoM beer) pubs here in Liverpool. I've been to the glorious TT a few times in the past, but not on my bike ... they were intensive drinking holidays, and bikes and drink definitely don't mix. Luckily, the aunt and uncle of a mate of mine had a BnB in Douglas so we were able to get accommodation quite easily for the race period.

Re: Who here has heard of the Isle of Man?
Sooner or later someone is going to say its got the oldest continually functioning parliament in the world. So it might as well be me. (The Icelandic althing began earlier but was suspended during Danish occupation).

They also have legal officers known as Deemsters who were originally responsible for memorising Manx Common law (which was known as breast law as it came from their insides). The Deemsters still exist and are still the judges on Man.

Re: Who here has heard of the Isle of Man?
Do they still beat miscreants with a bundle of sticks?
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

I believe the Isle of Man isn't part of Britain but the Queen is their Head of State.

Re: Who here has heard of the Isle of Man?
The Queen is the Lord of Man (and Duke of Normandy, but that's by-the-by). I think we should make the Isle of Man a Crown Colony... just to ruin that long-running Parliament...
Does anyone actually still speak Manx Gaelic on the Isle of Man?

Yes a few hundred do, and recently in our primary schools a program has gone forth to give all students from the ages 5-10 the chance to speak manx
