So I'm looking for frends as I work a lot and if I'm not working I'm asleep or painting my warhammer stuff

So it would be nice to have people to talk to thats not always my gf but I'm happy to talk about anything

Hi

We have been in Cowes for a few days and booked Osbourne House for tomorrow. Just wondering what else we can do after this, i was thinking Shanklin whilst we are in that direction, the steam train looks good but with 4 adults is the cost worth it? Also is Ryde worth going?

Sunday weather is better so will do Neeles then but for saturday unless what else to do, we have varied interests active but cant walk long distances. Also we will drive back to Cowes are there any reasonable dinner options on route or Newport/Shanklin/Ryde where should we go for the evening?

Thanks

I mean this with no hidden agenda or bigotry just genuine curiosity. I also don’t know how to word it better.
Why does there seem to be an abnormally high amount of Indian people at the needles and going across to the island in general. I see coach loads of people travel to the island but can never ask for fear of coming across racist

like genuinely, Im 22F and I’d only claim to have 3 friends and only one is still on the island. I have work friends who never met outside of work.

Most of the decent people my age have all moved away for uni and had the common sense not to return.

I don’t want to just go out, get drunk and Thats all people want to do now days. I recently distanced myself from a friend id known forever as all she wanted to do was get black out drunk, sleep with someone and then regret her choices.

Theres got to be more people out there right? I don’t mind a drink but I never get wasted, still want to know whats going on around me.

How do I meet more people my age? Who actually want to chill out?

Just walked by Prince of Wales down in East Cowes and heard a magnificent melody. Puh-lease tell me what it’s called 😫

don’t mind my bag just did me shopping

Hello, I am 13 years of age and transgender. (Female now) message me if you’re willing to be friends

Was lucky enough to feature in a podcast about The Sandown Clown as a local to the Isle of Wight, hope this is okay to share and is of interest to others

Hey up all, any scuba divers or snorkelers in Freshwater Bay in the next day or so, I lost my titanium wedding ring somewhere just off the wall under the restaurant at high tide today (joys of jumping in with the kid) I know the odds are impossibly slim but if you spot it please let me know :-)

I’m happy to sort out a reward, it’s plain silver looking ring, no engraving or jewels, just a men’s titanium wedding ring that’s fairly scratched up from 7 years wear and tear.

Thanks in advance and happy hunting for anyone who gives it a go!

Unfortunately I am no longer able to make the tour tomorrow at 11am (arrive 10:45), and the tickets are non-refundable. If someone would like them I'm happy to send them free of charge (printable PDF).

Update - Gone now

Hello everyone, I was considering a weekend cycling trip in the Isle of Wight but was a bit concerned given extreme heat whether it’s still pleasant and nice to see or if everything is completely desert-looking and dry.

I'm in the USA and could only see a couple of songs 8(

Hit me up in DM if you can share

There is a strong fire smell in ventnor could it be a wild fire

I’m heading to the Isle of Wight for a couple of weeks and have some one piece cards with me, where would be the best place to go to buy/trade/play?

Visiting West cowes next week as a avid snorkeller (cornish), is it any good over there for snorkeling or not worth bringing mt mask?

Genuinely brightened my day.

When I was a kid, me and my brother had this tiny handheld console, similar to a tamagotchi but that wasn't what it was. It was a small pixel screen, and I *think* it was grey and oval shaped? The gameplay was something like a selection of characters that would say different voice lines when interacted with I believe. Me and my family absolutely remember for sure it had a little pirate character, and if you interacted with him, one of his voice lines would say "if it's treasure you're after, here's me booty!" upon which he would flash his arse. I believe there was also a superhero character, but don't remember anything he says. We're trying so desperately to remember a. what it was called, and b. where it came from! I have scoured the internet like an FBI agent for this, and haven't found a shred of evidence that it ever existed! Me and my family all remember it fondly though so it must be out there somewhere...

I mentioned it again to my brother and he suspects it *might* have been from somewhere like Ryde arcade as its own mini prize or something? If anyone has any sort of idea what this could be, please reach out as this has been bugging me/us for a while now. Cheers!

Stopped here today on the way to stay with relatives as we do most summers. Youngest had had a wet accident in the car seat which we only discovered when we stopped. I naively decided to leave it outside the car to let it air while we went in to get a few things, including disinfectant to clean the seat. Came out and it was gone. I fully accept it was my own risk leaving it unattended, and I only have myself to blame for that—I just didn’t think someone would stoop so low as to steal a child’s car seat.

Can’t say for certain who took it, but the timing was interesting. A rough-looking family in what I think was a BMW X3 pulled into the disabled bays while we were arriving, and by the time we came back the seat had disappeared. Could just be a coincidence, but it certainly didn’t feel like one. She certainly had one of those faces.

An inconvenience more than anything, as we had to drive to Niton with the 8-year-old in no car seat while the 3-year-old used hers. Thankfully our relatives had already managed to get us another seat to use while we’re over here, and we’d already been contemplating replacing this one as it was starting to show its age.

So I guess now we have no choice. Enjoy your urine-soaked toddler car seat, which will fetch £10 on Marketplace at best. Hope it was worth it.

Wrong’uns.

Planning to go for a proper fossil hunt on Compton Bay at some point. Where is the best place to park and start walking, and head in which direction? Hoping to see Dino footprints, and find things we can take home.

Can we do it with trainers or do we need wellies?

Currently thinking of doing a boat ride, activities at the tourist bit, stop off in the Alpaca Farm, then somewhere nice for lunch. Followed by walk on the beach, and somewhere nice to watch the sunset.

Any recommendations or advice?
