lyn millard from TwiFans "I have never made any comments here before but felt I should as I was there. The Lobster Pot is our local pub and we go there every New Years Eve, we saw Rob and Kristen last year and when they came into the pub they looked over and said hello as though they remembered us, (I doubt very much they did) but it made us feel kind of nice. Anyway, they are kissing, it didn't last long but my friend and I both sighed. Trouble is I think now the papz have got wind of their destination, I don't think they'll come back. Apparently the police were called at another place they visited because about 300 fans and dozens of photographers had the cafe surrounded. They are such nice people, no airs and graces at all and Kristen, despite all the bad press is so friendly. Rob said, see you all next year, before they left. i just hope they do."  - Thanks to Milly for the link.

She was the first few to mention that Rob and Kristen were in the area even before the pic of the non-fan came out and mentioned about her 'no pics only autograph encounter'. Thanks Vicky.

Her comment in my first 'Possible IOW Sighting' post  "Went to the spyglass inn in ventor and bumped into them....it was amazing spoke to both and got roberts autograph. Kristen was tiny! Stood next to them on the countdown!! May have a photo of the back of kristens head but didn't want to bother them."

"Hi guys, I'm originally from the South Coast of England (where my best mate still lives) so we rented out a chalet on the Isle of Wight.  Let me just state, there was NO Stalking involved, I am the only person in my group that loves Twilight and Kristen. We went to Ventor to a couple of the pubs on new years eve. There aren't a huge amount of pubs and we were moving on to the next one when we stopped to get cash out. The guy in front of us looked familiar, and then i twigged it was Tom Stu!

Sure enough Rob was just behind him and Kristen walked past us with 2 other English girls (she is so little).
I couldn't believe it but i didn't say anything to them at the time. I was in shock a little (also mildy tipsy!)
we continued with our pub crawl stopping off for a couple more drinks in another pub.

The final pub we got to at about ten to eleven in the evening and it was lovely so we decided to stay.
Whilst goofing around with my best mate and having a smoke, I realised we were standing right in front of the Brit Pack!

Kristen hung out with the girls most of the time i was there (she didn't seem to get bothered much at all and was chatting away) Later we went inside and I bumped into Rob (not intentional I swear!) the place was packed and small we stood right beside Kristen and her group watching the band play. They were all kinda mock dancing but then so were we as many drinks had been consumed at this point.

I went to buy more drinks at the bar, and some bloke was asking Rob for a Picture, he very politely declined... but said he would sign something.

When i walked past I asked if he could sign a little ugly doll toy we had brought with us, which he did.
Que a very interesting drunken conversation. The doll was blue and Rob wanted to know if it was racist to sign it! I laughed and said 'I didn't think so' he asked if we were having a good night. I replied by saying yes but I'm a probably a bit too pissed! he said 'yeah me too'!.

The clock chimed in twelve to old lang time there was kissing and hugging all round( sorry to say Rob and Kristen didn't appear to kiss in the pub).

I went outside for another smoke after twelve, and Kristen Walked out with the two girls....
I went up to her and said something like 'Hey I don't want a picture or anything' which made her instantly relax a little and i continued on to say that the runaways was my favourite film of this year, before i corrected myself and said last year ( i got a laugh ;) and that her performance inspired me to ask for a guitar for christmas from my boyfriend.

She said that was *beep* awesome and Joan would be thrilled to hear that' we chatted a little bit more before i said thanks happy new year, blah blah blah.

They all left at about quarter past twelve, we stayed at the pub drinking... a reporter came up and asked us some stuff and I told him to get bent! (drinking makes me feisty!!). More stuff happened but that was pretty much the gist of it :) I am sooo stoked I met Kristen,
(I realised she is in the background of one of our pictures, but I will not be posting that as it is a personal photo between me and my friends, we could of taken loads of sly photos of them, but we didn't want to invade with the privacy. Vicky

And she added! I did say in my post they didn't appear to kiss but only because their group was large and rob was much nearer the bar. however, yes i was kissing my boyfriend so they may have kissed or hugged when i wasn't looking (let me add i wasn't staring the whole time, but inside the pub Kristen was literally next to me, so it was hard not to look a bit!)

If they didn't kiss. I would understand that. I bet there were lots of kisses before and after the stroke of midnight -  privately. To sum up, no kisses at midnight is no biggie especially when the risk of a pic of it being sold to tabs are as fast as 1-2-3.

dailymailUK As other Hollywood celebs were living it up around the globe, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart opted for a low-key New Year’s Eve and celebrated in a small pub on the Isle of Wight. The Hollywood couple shunned the glitz and glamour opting to ring in the New Year in Ventnor. Robert, 24, and Kristen, 20, enjoyed a night surrounded by friends, drinking, singing and posing for pictures with star-struck fans.

The family pub, which sits on the Ventnor Esplanade, is a favourite haunt for the couple who celebrated New Year’s Eve there last year.  One on-looker told local reporters: ‘We were hoping they would come back to the pub again this year and when they walked through the door no-one could quite believe it.
‘They seemed like a really sweet, down to earth couple with no airs or graces. There was a live band playing and they were bopping along to the music and enjoying themselves.

Robert looked as if he was drinking some sort of short and then they went out on to the seafront for a while.
Robert was dressed in a black hooded jumper and leather jacket and wore a black hat.  Kristen also rugged up in black, perhaps in an attempt to avoid attention and the couple's relaxed attire mirrored the informal celebrations.

The couple returned to the pub yesterday for New Year’s Day lunch with a number of friends but were followed by photographers.  Oonagh Keith of Wimbledon tweeted:’Oh Dear!! the Paps have found Robert Pattinson at the Spyglass Inn - their friends are trying to persuade the paps to leave’
