Are you from the Isle of Wight? Then let's talk about my home! I'm from Sandown, but I know the Island fairly well. At the moment I'm looking with great interest at the possibility of Le Cocq's using Bembridge Airport!

Yes, but there are people, like parents, fiances etc., who you think about so often that it would be impossible to tell them about every time you thought of them as you would do nothing in your whole life except tell them that they were thought of smiley - winkeye

I wrote a bit about Blackgang Chine for the Theme Parks bit.

that's a very good point....i guess you could just tell them if you've been thinking about them more than often...
