    It wouldn't surprise me if there is or has been a law suit to change either change the name to the "Isle of People" or to produce an equally sized island to be named the "Isle of Woman". Of course, the suit would not originate from anyone on the island, but rather from some group in a dark corner of the world where they have nothing better to do than instigate frivilous legal actions.

    Nah, i played in a school rugby game once, hey, if your KWC and I'm CRHS then we should technically be sworn enemies

    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.

    ok i'll admit we do have far too many chavs in CRHS for it to be safe, but Pink floyd fans arent chavs

    KWC = Posh

    It was my impression that to be a Pink Floyd fan one of the requirements was "chav"...

    And by the way, despite having a reputation of being posh, KWC is nothing of the sort. There are people there who are right scallies and do more dope than Eminem. Nobody there is posh, just very proud at the fact their daddy has a Ferrari (which I don't) and they practically are bathed in money.

    ...isn't that about the same thing ?

    Oh yeah, and I've heard of the teensy lil' isle. From rather surprising contexts too mind you, such as R. Talsorian's ancient Cyberpunk 2020 RPG.

    Well, from some points of view maybe. I view "posh" as someone well educated with perfect manners. lol, KWC does not in any way give you a better chance of being better mannered!

    Nah the whole "Posh" and "chav" thing is just because of A rivalry between my School (Castle Rushen High) and Diablo's school (King williams College), I dont know where it comes from, possibly from the fact that CRHS always beats KWC at sport :D

    But then again Diablo, even CRHS gets called posh by Ballakermeen

    What by the mother of pies is wrong with living in a "posh" area, anyway? It just goes to show that you've had more success in life than other people, and yet kids are always gloating about how hard and chavpacked their towns are? Ludicrousnessability!

    We KANE yo' butts according to student count/sports success ratio!!! i.e. where as my year only had 30 boys (of which 15 were on the rugby team) your school has about 300 boys to choose from for the rugby team! As far as I know Rugby was the only sport my old year had difficulty beating you in, footie and cricket we owned you bunch of chavs outright (though I never was on those two teams much).

    Ballakermeen= chav city

    I went there a few years ago to play waterpolo in the annual student sports festival (otherwise known as one of the biggest piss-up's of the university year ). I loved the water slide at the pool because it measured your time, so we just ended up racing on it all day .

    Hehe thats the NSC (national sports centre) but the slide that keeps your time, doesn't keep your time anymore (it broke). The last time I went to that pool it was frozen to "Record Time Achieved!" or something like that...
