What's with the multiple bat-signal-esque swirly spotlights I've seen every night lately? North Portswod/Swaythling area. Saw them again tonight from Aldermoore.

Light pollution TBH. I bet it has something to do with students.

If it is, it's those scummy institute ones, the Uni is on Easter break still.

Can't say i've noticed any spotlights at all though.

can see them from my kitchen window all the way from eastleigh at night.

The source of the lights is much closer to highfield than the solent uni.

And anyway, easter break? WTF is with that anyway? My housemates who are students at highfield have been off for 4 weeks. That's not an "easter break" it's a ****ing month off.

See, this is what I'm talking about... When you first see them they have a certain 'wow-factor', but when you can see them from practicaly everywhere in the city every single night, they just become irritating. :/

I've just had a month 'off' but I have exams in 3 days, so it's not really time off.

Nothing visible from Winchester.

We should organise a Southampton night out some time.

divine` · 11 Apr 2008 at 02:13

As of next Friday i'll be free til October

Anyway, no sod came to the last one, only like 7 people turned up, only 3 of whom I think post on here still.

Scuzi · 11 Apr 2008 at 02:19

I'll go if it's in Winchester. Southampton is full of chavs and bums.

I'm up for that.

And as far as I know, those light have nothing to do with Southampton Uni.

Sorry Off Topic

Before i ask this I just want to say that i graduated a while ago and the last time i went to southampton i was 3, but what is wrong with the students in your area? Do they cause problems?

divine` · 11 Apr 2008 at 03:03

I am a student, I do the problem causing

We have a lovely new bar/club around here with a similar light every night. We had one previously that had a 6-beam rotating searchlight. Like a minigun that fires lights.

They're very annoying.

goldilocks · 11 Apr 2008 at 06:56

we saw them the other evening - Sic thinks they're coming from behind the catholic church on the avenue.

AS_Platinum · 11 Apr 2008 at 07:26

I saw them from Hythe the other evening, havn't got a clue where they are, but i'm sure they were coming from the Marchwood direction?

neilw · 11 Apr 2008 at 08:27

There form the Ventura Cruise liner. Parked up opposite Marchwood. Saw them from Hythe and then again back home in Totton

Stonedofmoo · 11 Apr 2008 at 08:29

Speaking of Southampton, I had to go there last week for IT training.

WTF is with all the traffic lights in that goddamn town. I don't think I have ever seen as many in one road!!

neilw · 11 Apr 2008 at 08:33

Ah did you try driving down Winchester Road lol

The lights are there because of the new boat thats in dock. The lights are by the docks next to ocean village I can see them from my flat.
