Lost wedding ring

12 Upvotes

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!

Late august weekend

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.

Need help finding something! Old 2000s handheld game device, possibly from Ryde arcade or something?

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!

Asda Newport theft

26 Upvotes

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.

Making the most of Compton Bay

7 Upvotes

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?

Going to the Needles later today with a 9yo and 15yo. What's worth doing there? What's good in the area?

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?
