Otter Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 Since I've been coming on this site I've become aware that there is a vast amount of people from the Isle Of Wight here. Is it because there's nothing else to do but sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll on the Island? Or is there some other reason for this that I'm missing? Quote Link to comment
weezerboy Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 1...its not a particularly fun place is it? unless you count minature villages and "crazy" golf as fun (which i do, but meh) 2...very very few guitar shops so making your own is easier than visiting the infamous, mythical "mainland" 3...its the isle of wight and theres nothing else to do but sex, drugs and rock n roll :D B) aaah my homeland i hate it dan Quote Link to comment
Otter Posted January 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 ...nothing to do but 'sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll'... Hang on what am I saying Excellent!!! Quote Link to comment
weezerboy Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 indeed, what are you saying? the majority of these people have either never been or wouldn't want to go to the island so we may as well say that it is in fact the best place in the world come on...LOOK AT BLACK GANG CHINE!!!!

Otter Posted January 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 BLACK GANG CHINE!!!! Its part of the island tradition to go there at least once a year. What a work of genius Blackgang Chine is Quote Link to comment

Otter Posted January 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 It's all be moved gradually to 'Robin Hill' though apparently. Havn't been there for years myself, seem to remember goin there as a little kid and there being just some little monkeys and those prarie dog things in a field. Quote Link to comment
