I once sent an email to a colleague, her name was Manica. Auto-correct intervened, corrected it to Maniac and I didn't notice until I had hit the send button. My shame quickly faded when in her reply email she wrote: "my apologies for the incontinence caused." Turns out - we're both idiots!

@cdwc 4 года назад

Ha, that is excellent. The school newsletter always used to correct my name to 'Market Larwood'. So for a couple of weeks people referred to me as 'Market', some of the best days of my life.

@richardstonhold2615 2 года назад

Thank you for the video. Brought back memories of staying at Bembridge School in the late 60s at a youth group holiday. There were about 120 of us, I was a leader (in my mid-20s}, met my wife-to-be. Each day we would swim at a beach - was it called Whitecliff Bay? Last time we holidayed on IoW was at Freshwater in 2019. Fond memories of the Island, including Seaview and Ventnor.

@cdwc 2 года назад

Yes, it is Whitecliff Bay down there. I used to live on Hillway near the airport. One summer I was a cleaner at Bembridge School.

Beautiful walk! My granddad was the king of malapropisms (Exhilarator instead of accelerator, excavator instead of escalator) and I didn’t think it was hereditary until I saw an old English sheepdog once and shouted ‘aww it’s a Durex puppy!’ But my best friend’s mum definitely beat that when she walked into B&Q and asked a staff member where the beading was because she wanted to make ‘a dildo rail’ in her living room.

@cdwc 4 года назад

Ha ha. That is brilliant. I forgot the word 'malpropisms'. I reckon ScrewFix might be better for the Dildo Rail.

Hi Marek In the '70s we moved to the Isle of Wight because my dad (a massive aeroplane fan) started working for Britten-Norman, who made the Islander. We lived in Havenstreet. Memories growing up at that time include lads from the village going up to London for Top of the Pops!

This was a very enjoyable walk. Good crisps too. Some of my favourite crisps are COOP salt and Chardonnay white wine vinegar crisps, they are very potent and make you sweat when you eat them.

@cdwc 4 года назад

A crisp that makes you sweat is always good. My favourites are Frazzles, Doritos Chilli Heatwave and good old fashioned ready salted.

We once sent my late Grandad to the bakery with a list consisting of two cream horns and an elephant's foot. He couldn't remember the name of the animal so asked the woman who served him for two cream horns and a donkey's plonker!! He left with three cream horns... 😂

I sat down with a coffee to see what was new on RU-vid.... and yayyy.. Cool Dudes Walking Club have posted. Perfect timing. Enjoyed it as always. 🙂👍 Its more than likely that I will be in IOW some time in September.... visiting an old school chum of mine. I'm looking forward to it. I've never been and it certainly looks a beautiful place to explore. Word Muddle: Funniest one I ever heard was on TV... the question was An Amoeba beginning with O. Answer - Organism. The lady too quick to answer shouts out Orgasm. 😄👍🖐

Nice walk, nice video. Love your sense of humor and self-deprecating jibes. My wife and I are currently trapped in Oklahoma in the States, but as soon as Covid is somewhat tamed, we plan to move to the Isle and live out our days (very few in my case). Thanks for giving us a taste and preview of a lovely place.

@georgec2894 4 года назад

Yes!! An Isle of Wight walk! ''There may be some wind issues'' - that sounds like Culver to me! I played against the 2000 version of the Bembridge U11s. We lost 2-0! They had a guy who went on to play for the Bournemouth youth team... what could have been, Marek! I endorse the high ratings after many a walk on Culver and around Whitecliff Bay with my Grandma! As a geologist I do have to slightly call you out on the Blue Slipper. It's named after the Gault Clay, and the nearest it gets to Bembridge exposed at the surface is at Yaverland. Bembridge headland is made of the Bembridge Marls. Marls are rocks made of claystone and limestone ... so the clay bit is probably what you're seeing here. It's almost the same thing but not quite as slippy :)

@cdwc 4 года назад

These are excellent facts. Everyone I know has been calling it Blue Slipper since as long as I remember. Bembridge Marls doesn't sound quite as cool. You must have seen all the incredible rock formations by the nostrils down at Whitecliff Bay. As for football there was a kid a few years younger than me from Sandown called James Hayter who went on to be a prolific striker at Bournemouth.

@georgec2894 4 года назад

@@cdwc Thanks Marek! ''Facts' always seems pushing it with me but I'm 95% sure I'm not being stupid for once! Whitecliff Bay has been known to get me hot & sweaty with excitement. It's basically a mirror image of the coloured sands at Alum Bay. The strata are vertical as they've been folded into a shape called a 'monocline'! It is part of the Portland-Wight Monocline which continues to Durdle Door in Dorset. Yeah, knew James Hayter at Bournemouth and it rings a bell he went to Sandown.
