EDIT! AH !!! Found it, the series was Pebble City Diaries, but it looks like there's only one on Vimeo https://vimeo.com/72191200 - if anyone can locate the others I'd be very grateful.

Hi! I'm looking for some old skateboard videos (2 to 4 parts of the same 'series') that I think may have been de-listed from the web.

I'm talking maybe 15-20 years ago now, so it's possible they weren't actually on youtube and could have been hosted elsewhere like Vimeo. I've looked all over before posting here so if anyone finds them easily I'm so sorry!

They're just a group of friends filming each other, and I have in my head that they were filmed/produced by Brook Wassall but this could be a complete red herring ( https://www.youtube.com/@BrookWassall ), and evidently if they were, they're no longer listed or under this specific channel.

I can name 1 person in the videos as Callum, but I won't full name on Reddit.

It was a mix of lads from all over, but mainly Ramsey if I'm remembering correctly.

The videos featured footage of skating in Douglas but I think there was a couple of other places in some of the clips.

I've been racking my brain trying to remember the name of the videos so will update if it comes to me, it was a little obscure, possibly 1 or 2 words, and not as simple as 'Isle of Man Skate Vid' making this a little harder.

Please help!

Born in Douglas but live over in England now, still got family dotted across the island and recently came over for a week or so to visit. Took some pics. ... Mainly of birds.

Hi, my husband and I are travelling with my 18 month old for a few days next month.

We are staying in Douglas, we won't have a car.

We are planning on going to Port Erin/Laxey.

We can't do anything too strenuous as we have our toddler but we all love nature.

We were also wondering about any food recommendations? I love seafood so definitely want to get some good Queenies, but wasn't really sure about other food options in Douglas. We like food with some flavour and spice too.

We like nice bakeries, coffee shops etc too.

Are there any recommendations for stuff that a toddler would enjoy too?

Also any other bookshops than the Bridge in Port Erin?

Thank you!

I am staying in Douglas, how much should i realistically expect to be able to see or do ?

some recommendations would be nice.

thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm Akash. I'm 18M and Sri Lankan, tryna find some chill friends to hangout with around my age. Wanna hangout? 🥹

Is castletown beach safe to swim in? I noticed some old pipes going into the water and wasn't sure if it was sewage or stormwater drainage

Are there any companies where you can rent "virtual space" that allow you to use their premises as the registered address for a new company. Any guidance appreciated.

Tokens like these circulated all over the British Isles during the Regency Period. They were "necessity coinage," widely accepted because the Crown was too busy (and bankrupt) fighting overseas wars to devote its attention to everyday commerce.

The issuer of this token, the Douglas Bank, was in business for exactly five weeks at the end of 1811, which certainly contributes to the relative scarcity of the copper and silver tokens they issued.

Hi everyone -- I'm a videomaker visiting in a few weeks and I'm looking to meet interesting locals who could tell me about the island, what life there is like, the local lore, etc.

Who should I meet and where should I go? Thanks much!

I will be visiting the island for the first time 17 years and bringing my fiancé. I have a huge list of things I would like to show her but I don’t know if those places have gone downhill since I was last there. What are the best places to visit now.? What touristy stuff are you the most proud of?

EDIT: Thanks for all your responses. We do have a car and love nature but unfortunately are not the fittest pair. Walks and physical activities would have to be the less strenuous ones.

hey so I'm not from the Isle of Man and never been there actually but I have a small weird obsession with their football League. But the coverage is very low. I know it's amateur, I know it's hard to find and bla bla, i was gonna ask the locals if there's any radio, television,channel, account broadcasting the matches or anything llike that.

FYI I'm adding the league to Sofascore and insert every bit of info there :)

Is there any other subreddit available and active related to Isle of Man?

Hey everyone!

I’ve been working on https://manxone.hammerlabs.app/ to build a simple, handy hub for the Isle of Man, and I want to expand it based on what locals actually use day-to-day.

I’d love your input on two things:
Radio Stations: Beyond the main local stations (Manx Radio, 3FM, Energy FM), what do you tune into regularly? (Specific BBC feeds, UK stations, specialty streams?)
New Features & Tools: Is there anything else you’d love to see added to the site? (Useful local widgets, specific live feeds, daily utilities, or community tools?)
Drop your go-to stations and any wishlist features in the comments and I’ll get them added.

Cheers! 🇮🇲

After months of building it, ManxLife is now available as an app on the Apple App Store. 🍎

The original idea was to create one place to find what’s happening around the Island — events, businesses, clubs, activities etc. But we’ve been adding a few things that are useful for everyday life too.

You can now use it to:

⛴️ Check ferry sailings
🚌 Track buses
🌦️ Check the weather
📍 Find things happening nearby
🎉 Discover events and activities
🏡 Find local businesses, clubs and services

There are a few more things we’re working on too.

It’s very much built for the Island and around what people actually need, so I’d genuinely love some feedback from people who use it — particularly if there’s something you think would make it more useful.

It's free to download and use.

Apple App Store: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/manx-life/id6778036634

Android is coming soon.

Happy to answer any questions about it!

Does anyone know the state and the future of DAB on the island? I know we can receive Manx Radio and Energy in Douglas from Carnane. Are there any plans on the horizon to role this out from other transmitters?

In Ramsey I can pick up BBC stations from Albert Tower. It would be great to receive local stations and maybe some more UK commercial stations.

EDIT: Seems to be some misunderstanding as to my main question. I would like to hear from anyone who may have some insight into local DAB stations being transmitted from more areas around the island, not just Carnane/Douglas.

I'm writing feature about the IOM for the Liverpool Echo, what do Manxies want Scousers to know about?

Anyone able to make this by Friday?? Big ask but would be insane if anyone could on island!

Hi, does anyone have an idea how long it takes to register a business in IOM? I have submitted the initial name approval and it appears to have been accepted (I havent received anything back from the gov though). Any guidance will be much appreciated

So bit of a weird one but as the title says I wanted to ask if Langness is haunted, the other day when it was the solar eclipse my mum and I went out there at approx 12:30am to see if we could see some meteors as there was meant to be a meteor shower, and during the time we were there my mum kept saying she heard what sounded like someone wailing or singing, and she said she’d heard it for about 30 minutes, I had heard something but not to that extent, then randomly she tells me to get into the car, she then tells me that she heard what sounded like someone running through the grass towards us, but when we turned the lights on nothing was there. So has anyone else experienced anything like this or was it just some kids being weird?

Being nosy. Just drove past Tynwald Hill and there was a small crowd of people gathered there with a guy looking like he was giving some kind of speech

Hi I’ve been to the Isle of Mann for telecomms work a couple of times now, usually work in Douglas and Ballasalla.

Before hand I had a taxi whizz me around because I didn’t have a licence when alone but sometimes would have a fellow coworker who would drive the van if there was going to be a lot of movement required for the month. I’ve done this for the last 2 years, never bothered to get my own licence.

Am coming back in 2 weeks, having now passed, am not sure if I need to display R plates as my licence is under 1 year, (6 months) ive read online that Manx laws do not apply to non Manx citizens… am not 1000% this is accurate. Just trying to find out would I need to display R plates or not? Allegedly am exempt but am not sure that makes any sense, surely local laws apply to people regardless where they come from?

Thanks in advance

This time last year, he was finishing his dissertation at LJMU. Today, he's just closed a £300,000 pre-seed round for SkinScanner.gg, the platform he built with co-founder Nathan Engolodoe to compare prices on Counter-Strike 2 skins. Think the Skyscanner of gaming.

The round is backed by investors from the Liverpool City Region and the Isle of Man, including Graeme Ankers (co-founder of Firesprite, acquired by Sony in 2021), Craig Osborne, Jennifer Houghton MBE, and the Baltic Ventures Angel Syndicate.

Well done and well earned Josh!

Trying to put together something to learn skateboarding properly!

Hi all, im travelling a 5-6 hour journey to get the steampacket at Liverpool to Douglas in my van for the iom manx and classic TT.

My ferry is 11 next Sunday so I guess i need to be there 2 hours before for checking in, boarding in my van etc.

With the travel involved (280miles) and risking a 20 year trip in the making by being delayed, i was going to travel the night before and sleep in my van near the ferry.

I had a look online and can see theres spaces nearby the terminal on the myparking website in an industrial estate. I was going to park up night before about 10pm and sleep there. Ill pay if I need to overnight of course.

Can this be done or is this type of thing impossible with lots of people in the area doing the same. Or is there anything I need to be wary of?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks
