The Real World

This is the topic to rant about anything that's bothering you - just get it off your chest right here, no matter what it's about!MODS: Would it be possible to pin this topic?OK, so I'll start - road signs. Everywhere I go, I see road signs that are twisted, wonky, fading or just not lit up well. And some are badly positioned! A lot of them definately need to be replaced.

Sorry if this has been done (but I searched all over page 1 of offtopic and I couldn't find this!). Feel free to introduce yourself in here.Anyway, I am Daniel 21 from surrey. . I've been a theme park fan since 1990, my first ride being the 5th dimention at Chessington, well that's the first one I remember, anyway. I enjoy most rides, apart from going upside down, or loops. . The best ride for me is Rush at thorpe park (see the username) but I also enjoy a lot of the Chessington rides, Toom blaster being a great atraction. :PIf there is anything you want to know, message me on here, addd me to messenger, or just reply to my posts

Hey guys - hope it’s ok to start a new topic here as there was no where else I could find to put this. Many of you will have met @Roodie at various meets over the past 17 months. His first meet was Fright Nights 2016 and the day I first met him. Since then I’ve got to know and spend time with this wonderful member of TPM - the reason I’m posting this is because sadly Adam (Roodie) has recently been diagnosed with incurable cancer and has spent the past 5 weeks in hospital. Adam has 2 young sons (ages just 6 and 4) and is desperate to spend the time that he has making memories with them while at the same time raising money for MacMillan. His …

However you're celebrating, in whatever Tier, TPM wishes you all a Merry Christmas. Hope you're staying healthy, and looking forward to a, hopefully, more enjoyable 2021! Now get off TPM, ignore that silly ride game for a day 😉, and get on that Zoom call with those family members who you can't meet today (whether you want to or not!)

So girls or boys? Take your pick.Personally, I'm unsure atm. I've had a boyfriend , or two? And they were far more seriouse than any girl I have been with.Sure I still like girls, but I think of them as just pretty, not "f**king fit" or anything.Mehs.

So everyone needs one eventually, what job do you think you would like?I wuna be a ICT Teacher!

Ok well I opened this topic to discuss whats happening in the news. Well, ok I'll start. An 11 year old school boy named Rhys Jonnes was shot on wednesday night. I found that sad tbh. Anyway err if you wanna post, post.

I was bored and thinking back about 10 years and I remembered something that I never shared with anyone. So I thought hey, why not share it with you guys. This thread is for all your weird and wonderful confessions! I'll start. I confess that when I first heard that Cornwall is a place (when I was about 8), I assumed it was this desolate place that looked like the end of the world with red skies, broken metal fences and lots of sheep but nothing else. For some reason, I believed this until I visited about two years later. I was surprised to see it looked quite normal. I did say 'weird and wonderful confessions'

I know quite a few people are soon going to be opening their GCSE results for one, but this topic is really for any exam results that you've received and want to share. Enjoy

Surely there are some football fans and theme park enthustiasts on this website! What teams do you support? Post your scores and opinions of club news on here. I support Brentford, we drew 2-2 with Ipswich by leaving it to the last 5 minutes to score twice, as we have done like every year. New manager's first game, Marinus Dijkhuzien, Does anyone know anything about him.

Just to see if anyone would like to talk about the supposedly boring Politics subject, but seeing as it's pretty on topic due to recent problems in the credit markets.. Anyone?I personally support the Conservatives, however I think they need to take a leaf out of the Monster Raving Loony Party's book, click here for more info!Lovely policies including pianting the white cliffs of Dover blue, 99p coins brought into circulation, air conditioners on the outside of buildings to combat global warming, and a law stating socks are to be sold in threes to ensure you still have a good pear if you lose one.Anyone have any serious political thoughts? I know I probably sound dry but …

I know it is a bit of a random topic but oh well So do you have any pets or pets that many other people might not have?I used to have a dog but she passed away 2 years ago:( so now I'm boring and got fish.

I eat my Dreams, do you?

So the general election is happening THIS THURSDAY. And we don't even have a thread for it? Disgraceful. Discuss all things electiony here. Are you voting? Where do your allegiances lie? Or are you apathetic to the whole process and feel much bigger change is needed? Even if you're not old enough to vote, still feel free to contribute your thoughts! (PS: This thread could get very opinionated and very messy very quickly; let's try and keep handbags away from this yeah? )

I shoe fitted Nick Knowles daughter at work, and I also served someone from Take That.Anyone met anyone interesting?

There doesn't seem to be any positive equivalent of the ever popular rant thread. What a miserable bunch. I'll start... Right now I am on a month long driving course at work where I get to spend all day every day driving a variety of fairly high performance vehicles very very fast. Learning to do it safely of course, and the concentration required is very draining, but I don't know how it would not be possible to not love every minute of it. Three weeks still to go, big grin on my face at the thought of going back to 'work' on Monday.

Ahh, heres a new one.What was or Is your favourite lesson at School. Please vote for your favouriteAs I enjoy spending my spare time on a computer All Day I am going to vote for I.T Also its one of the only lessons in my crappy school which we are alloud to listen to iPods and play arround on mobile phones. Also time to go on Forums and other websites as you would do so at home, like what I am doing now.

Now this one is different to school, I thought I would make it specific so that people would know exactly what this is about. I'm facing an issue with the fact that I didn't enjoy my course at Uni, to the point that going back now makes me want to cry and I'm doing all I can to change course. I even have to re-apply through UCAS (!) Now I have the task of choosing the course that I want to be on and the course that is what I want to pursue. Now then onto the topic, this is to help anyone on TPM who's making that all important decision and wants help, a fair few of us here are at Uni and I'm sure there's lots of advice to be given. It's tough to decide but it's not the…

Okay I own a sexy fish. What pets do you have?

Post your favourite quotes and share them with th community!! I'll start it off: It’s not like love at first sight, really. It’s more like… gravity moves. When you see her, suddenly it’s not the earth holding you here anymore. She does. And nothing matters more than her. And you would do anything for her, be anything for her… You become whatever she needs you to be, whether that’s a protector, or a lover, or a friend, or a brother. Jacob Black, Eclipse

Simply what are your phobias and if you can remember when did your phobia start? I have arachnophobia (spiders), that phobia started when 2 large spiders crawled up my leg and started biting me when I was 6 and I have a phobia as some of you know of Ferris wheels, I don't know why its just when people move about or rock the gondolas I loose my crap. So what your phobias and also have you had any of your phobias cured?

Well I love graphic designs, music and filmography and photography... You?

Name injuries here. I broke my toe yesterday - stubbed it on a ladder while chasing my cat who was doing something bad - can't quite remember it through the haze of immense pain.

Hey Y'all, It has gotten to a stage where lately, I've got myself becoming really lazy and eating a lot of crappy food and naturally the pounds have crept up on me and literally breaking buttons so I thought it was time to take action and take a proper go at eating healthily and hopefully lose some weight ready for the summer season. When I was younger I could eat as much as I liked and never had to worry about putting anything on - I was skinny as anything and walked the dog twice a day which helped I'm sure. But Adult life has taken over - convenience is the way to go, dog has gone so no longer walk as much as I did - I now drive and work in an office so it's no surp…
