British Commando
Am I a lackey of the British Government or a brave soldier performing his duty for his country?
I’m a Royal Marines Commando just returned from Afghanistan. I’m reading a lot of mixed reports about what we as a country (and myself by extension) are doing in places like Afghanistan and Iraq – what are your thoughts?
Just thought I’d add that I’m not actually having any sort of moral dilemma here, just wondered what YOUR thoughts were!
Hey mate, I know what you mean there. I serve under the Queen as well, albeit in Australia and I hear the same moral argument here. Granted, I’ve not yet served in either conflict – yes America, Australia is serving with you lot as well! – but I would proudly stand by my mates and your guys when it comes to these situations. Sure, there’s a side of me that feels we are lackeys at times, otherwise, I am happy to go where my country tells me where to go and perform my duty. Just wish I could get to work with you guys more than I do with the Seppo’s! Is Longlook calling?

Have you ever been to the Isle of Wight? This splendid Island of natural beauty is situated off the south coast of the United Kingdom and is one of the largest islands of the British Isles being twenty miles wide by eleven miles. If you are on the Island and transverse to the southeast of the IOW, you come across the nice old village of Shanklin. Shanklin`s unique charm attracts visitors year after year.
This old village is famous for its lovely thatched cottages restaurants, and pubs as well as many tourist shops selling trinkets and Island novelties of all kinds. What does the name of this village mean? The word Shanklin is of Saxon origin which means a deep and narrow valley. It has a long, sandy beach which is great for sunbathing, and one of its attractions is its fine gardens, including the extra special Shanklin Chine, this is a beautiful ravine down to the sea, filled with rare plants and a wonderful waterfall as well as a lot of interesting flora and fauna.
The pretty Rylstone Gardens also provides another super option, particularly on long, hot summer days. You can walk around the Visitor’s Centre where you can find some super information on heritage of the IOW. You can also visit the memorial to the Royal Marine Commandoes and take a nice cup of tea in the Tea Rooms or a stroll around the gift shop. If you are curious to visit something extraordinary, take time out to examine the tiny holes in the facade of the cliff face as you walk around and down to the sea shore. You will be very much surprised to know that these holes are the homes of wasps. So, be careful not to get bitten by them. Shanklin`s long esplanade is served by road trains that take you back up to your hotel, from the play arenas, and places to eat and drink which are found along the promenade.
The town itself has a good choice of restaurant, cafes and pubs, and is also home to an annual regatta and excellent carnival processions. Many Ice cream parlors are on hand, and in the heat of the summer afternoon Shanklin is the perfect place to pass the time. All in all with its old village, range of curio shops and the sun drenched beaches Shanklin is a dream place to vacation. In the evening, kick of the shoes and watch the sunset from the Steamer Inn. Welcome to a magical world of natural beauty found in and around Shanklin.
Suitable accommodation on the Isle of Wight for one person, a couple or a whole family can be found on many of the online Island portals, providing you with the all necessary information about the IOW Tourism, IW Restaurant etc.
