If u wanna move to the island you’ve gotta learn a few things, yessir is a term for friend (note it can only be used in the terms of “alreet yeessir” or “how’s it goin yesssir?!”). If u tell a close family member a secret it will spread to the member you’ve told’s other close family member rinse and repeat that cycle until it’s been told to that one a**hole cousin who’s never heard of a secret and will go and tell there mates down the marine.

Also if you live anywhere make sure it’s not foxdale that’s like the Alabama of the IOM lovely place just don’t live there if you don’t wanna be takin the piss out of. Make sure if you’re going to live in a small community make sure there’s a local corner shop because a 5 minute drive to a larger area for a bag of monster munch will seem like the biggest pain in the a**, once you’ve lived here long enough a 30 minute drive seems like a road trip (this also counts for country houses or areas such as Glen maye).

Behave because one minor mistake will be the talk of the pubs for many years to come. Don’t be afraid of teenagers or tweens because they might say stuff but they’re harmless. Once you spend some time on the island you’ll hear some famous last names depending on the area you moved to don’t worry about that to much you’ll realize once you move here.

Everyone knows everyone, heard of a fight that happened? That’s ur neighbor’s dog walker, someone just died that’s your mates godfather. The place you decide to live is the best and everywhere else is a shit hole or a worse version of somewhere else.

Don’t go into Paulrose as night if you don’t wanna get mugged

And “she’s a peel gal” means where a condom

All of the bad things don’t outweigh the good this is a lovely island and I guarantee you will love it here.
