chebobs Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Hmmm its a topic i often wonder about myself! the fact that the island has no more than just 1 mc'd's and kfc for 80,000 peeps that reside there! A cinema with only 2 screens... to be honest its failing to keep up with the rest of the world! i've been living here for 19 years, me being only 19 i joined the army 3ish years ago and pretty much been all over the uk. The crazy thing that alot of the people i have met didnt know where the isle of man actually was...... The only thing we got going for us is the TT and the very basic night life. Still... i enjoy myself when i'm over never the less. slightly off topic there i think.... ice ring would be ideal, get the ice hockey on the go!

La_Dolce_Vita Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Well yeah I agree. For all the countryside and well-paid jobs when it comes to the leisure, entertainment and recreation on the island there is b*gger all. Though considering the amount of clubs and pubs the appeal of alcohol can easily eclipse the demand for these things. We definitely need a better cinema and maybe another somewhere else other than Douglas. I would say Chebobs I don't think we need another MacDonalds or KFC on the island. It is hardly high quality food, especially the former. I wish there was more in the way of theatre productions on the island too. Seems very limited at the moment. I am jot a huge theatre going person but I like to go now and again but I there aren't there many different things on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButterflyMaiden Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 More pubs like the Albert in Port St Mary. Good food, great bar and super locals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speckled Frost Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I've said this before. Late opening cafes with maybe a bit of chilled out jazz playing. I can sit outside reading Sartre with my cafe au lait watching, with a rueful smile, drunk people stagger by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryder Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Personally, I feel the Island would benefit from better weather. If the Island had the same weather as the Channel Islands, I would love it even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
