Unlikely, but anyone else going?
Please, where is this mysterious Nokia Aisle of White? Can I get there by S-Bahn?
I love spelling mistaks. Aisle o Wight innit. No S-bahn unfortunately . . .
Nope. I'll be at T in the Park instead
Also just got tickets for the Radio one big Weekender, so a nice free gig for me!

while you're there, stop by and visit my ancestral home. Never been there myself, but it seems to be the source of my surname.

Parkhurst, Isle of Wight
Parkhurst is a neighbourhood northwest of the town of Newport, Isle of Wight. It has few amenities, but a large residential population.
It is notable for housing three prisons: the well-known Parkhurst Prison itself, Camp Hill, and Albany. Parkhurst and Albany were once amongst the few top-security prisons in the United Kingdom, but were downgraded in the 1990s.
A number of well-known criminals were accommodated in the Parkhurst prisons, including John Duddy, the Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe and the Kray twins.
The prisons caused the construction during the mid 20th century of housing estates to accommodate prison workers and their families, and much of the area is characterised by these poor-quality estates, now largely in private ownership but still in need of repair.
Parkhurst also adjoins Parkhurst Forest, a large Forestry Commission owned woodland which includes plantation woodland and a large area of ancient woodland, and is well used by local people for recreation.

Parkhusrt Prison - lovely place. I know people that work there and you hear some pretty weird stories about some of the inmates there. A guy I know back home was the first person in the UK to be sentenced & given "day release" to go to work, under certain restrictions of course. (Not allowed to go in pubs etc). His crime . . . . . a fucked up prank "bomb" in MacDonalds that went off and shut the town down!
