Yes, I really really can
It's redeeming feature is that you can SEE some historical things from it. The Spinnaker is disappointing to a staggering degree.

Why, can you not see historical things from the top of the Spinnaker? I find that difficult to believe, Mr Hats.

Apologies, I may have muddied the water there
You can see points of interest from the top of the Spinnaker. It is, however, unnecessarily expensive to go up the bastard. It's slightly cheaper if you're a resident, but then you have the embarrassment of having to take a utility bill up to the information desk. God, it's shit here.

but you are only a short ferry ride from the tropical paradise island of Wight
(is the spinnaker subsidised for locals to allow them to jump off the top?)

I'm from there :(
I went there last year for the first time in ages. If it's possible, it's got even more depressing.
( Two Hats 🎩🎩, Wed 19 Oct 2011, 10:50, archived)

Not been there in ages, but I want to go over on the hovercraft, get on the funny little tube train and go for a walk on the downs around Ventnor
When I went there a few years ago, a mate asked if we could get duty free on the ferry. He was serious too.

Are you from Ventnor? Do you have downs?
( spesh., Wed 19 Oct 2011, 10:54, archived)

Funnily enough, we always stop at the hovercraft terminal when one's coming in...sad really
No, not from Ventnor...Ryde. And no, don't have Downs.
( Two Hats 🎩🎩, Wed 19 Oct 2011, 11:05, archived)

hovercraft are great though.

They are great aren't they?

I was in Deal recently and read something about how when the cross channel hovercraft were struggling to make money
they used to run day trips to the Goodwin Sands (sand banks in the middle of the English Channel, site of many shipwrecks, exposed at low tide) for people to go and picnic and play cricket. That'd have been brilliant.

What a cool idea

( Two Hats 🎩🎩, Wed 19 Oct 2011, 11:17, archived)

maybe we should TWOC a hovercraft from Portsmouth and set ourselves up in business.

YEAH!
One of the forts out in the Solent is still uninhabited I think...we could use that as a base of operations.

Is it pronounced Dill, or Dee-al? I go for Dee-al, but whenever I speak to someone from there they say it as Dill. True story.
