The Real World

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 …

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

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!)

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.

So, with the referendum just 16 days away, what's your view? Will you actually vote? (Seeinghow quite a lot people on here aren't eligible to vote due to age, this will probably end up being slightly more hypothetical, but meh).For those who have no clue what I'm on about... On the May 5th, a referendum about whether general elections is happening about whether general elections should switch from the first past the post system to the Alternative Vote (AV). It's binding, so whatever the result, that's the final answer.Personally, I support the yes campaign! Whilst AV might not be the simplest of systems, nor the most proportional, it's a step in the right direction. …

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.

Alongside Theme Parks, the other thing that I love are G-Shocks - anyone else got any? Latest addition to my collection is the stealth black GA-2100 - got given it as a Christmas present from my girlfriend who had to get it imported from Italy as everywhere was sold out still! Screen can be hard to read at times but overall I love the look!

Post here for chill time. I'm going out for pizza tonight. P.S. if you talk about theme parks you are lame.

I'm not sure if this will mean a lot to people who've only joined TPM in the last two years but for ex South Parks members this will ring quite hard..Last night Cjw passed away. For anyone who knew him very well he was an incredibly prolific, kind and agreeable person and the world does feel a little emptier without him. I wouldn't normally start a topic about somebody passing away however it felt only right to open this topic.

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

As this is been trending for, a couple a weeks now I thought I should make a Forum post on it. Clowns have been all over USA for the last couple weeks and some threatening and scaring people of the public. Some have been doing all kinds of stuff like carrying weapons jumping onto cars and just scaring people altogether. To be honest I am not Scared of clowns but many people are and I get why they are scared of them, but I think this Clown Kraze this october has gone a bit too far as, it has been lead to being the police involved and as far as people of the public being terrorised and even injured. Apparently reports say this Kraze is slowly moving…

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'

This topic is here to discuss your conspiracy theories, and what you think is and isn't true. Here is a list of things to discuss:9/11 Terrorist AttacksIlluminati GroupMoon LandingJFK AssassinationPrincess Diana DeathArea 51etc.Hope this helps. Thanks. Zac.

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…

Simple question, simple poll - on average, how many of your recommended 5 fruit and vegetables would you say you get a day? For me, I normally eat about 3 or 4 pieces a day, though I've noticed since I've finished college, I'm eating a lot less healthily of late, so about 3 a day is right for me..

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

I eat my Dreams, do you?

This topic is for driver less vehicle discussion. Anyone interested in giving the future a go? http://www.engadget.com/2016/05/13/driverless-pod-trial-london-sign-ups/

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

Well hello there! What a summer we are having! A year where we thought football was coming home to be out beaten by the fact that Love Island is coming to Thorpe Park! The sun is out beaming and there is no better time to once get back into the football spirit with the Premier League and Football Leagues seasons fast approaching. I have taken the leash off Ryan this year (literally) and am pleased to say that the Fantasy Football competition has renewed its contract and will be returning to TPM for 2018. With transfers galore, new teams raring to go in the Premiership, who do you think will be the best XI? And this year it is bigger and better than…

Surely there must be someone on here who watches Speedway? The British Speedway GP has just happened here in Cardiff at the Millenium Stadium for the 15th year in a row, won by Swede Antonio Lindback with Brit (and 2015 world champ) Tai Woffinden in 2nd. If you've never watched Speedway, here's a good example of a race. Chris "Bomber" Harris, who broke his nose in the Semi Final just before this, winning the 2007 British Grand Prix (he finished bottom this year with one point in total ) Basically there's 23 heats, 2 semis and one final in a Grand Prix meeting. Red Helmet = Starting Gate 1, Blue = Gate 2, White = Gate 3 and Yellow = Gate 4. 1st Place gets 3 …

After an interesting conversation in chat I thought I'd make this poll. So, do you worry about the chemicals in your food and drink? Do you perish at the thought of preservatives? Do you find additives abhorrent? Or do you knock back the e-numbers and aspartame without a care in the world?Discuss!

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.
