The Real World

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

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'

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.

Buddhist. No, really.

A master of his craft, who, in a word, has probably touched all of our lives.

The election ends tonight! After months of battling it out, who would you vote for in the American Election?

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?

I just tried to telephone a family member for the call to be answered "there is a a fault with this line. Telephone 118820 to be connected by an engineer."I googled the number and it is a scam with which some people have been conned out of anything up to £15 a time. WATCH IT!I then rang the original number again and got through.

I met a chap at TP on Monday who told me that three years ago he endured "the walk of shame" (his words), by being unable to take a seat on Stealth due to being large. He went away and has shed five stones and is now going to start visiting TP and other parks more often as he is able to ride roller coasters. Proud of his achievement quite rightly, it must be quite distressing for those who cannot shift weight. Me? I'm a lucky so-and-so who has stayed the same weight since I was a yob, some years ago now. With respect to being the wrong size, it does annoy me that people with small children will queue and subject the ride hosts to being seen as "the…

I have recently relocated to the tiny town of Kingsbridge in Devon and am wondering if anyone knows of, or can recommend any Halloween events or attractions in the county. I'm up for the full range from scare mazes to pumpkin patches and hayrides. Muchly appreciated!

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 …

Border Force at Heathrow will be taking loads on over the next few months. When getting a job in the Civil Service or Border Force don't expect to be carrying out the job you joined for, but it opens the door to permanent good employment. https://www.civilservicejobs.service.gov.uk/csr/index.cgi?SID=b3duZXI9NTA3MDAwMCZqb2JsaXN0X3ZpZXdfdmFjPTE1MDA1MTEmcGFnZWNsYXNzPUpvYnMmb3duZXJ0eXBlPWZhaXImdXNlcnNlYXJjaGNvbnRleHQ9MjIzOTI3NDQmc2VhcmNoX3NsaWNlX2N1cnJlbnQ9MSZwYWdlYWN0aW9uPXZpZXd2YWNieWpvYmxpc3QmY3NvdXJjZT1jc2ZzZWFyY2gmcmVxc2lnPTE0Njg1OTAyMzItODVlMWY1ZmMzN2QwN2Q2Y2VhYjBiZGNkY2M2ZmI1NTJiZWU1ODIzYw== Worth looking even if it's not your bag.

It seems that to everybody that saw or met, heard or heard of, Muhammad Ali, former boxing champion, he was an icon, a legend, hero, ambassador, gentleman, oh yes, and a sports star. He passed away this morning. I doubt that many on this forum will have seen him, most probably never heard of him. I consider that I was lucky to have lived at the same time as he has, as good an example of a cool guy, one will be hard pushed to find. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2016/06/04/muhammad-ali-was-an-american-idol-and-a-muslim-read-his-words-on/

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 eat my Dreams, do you?

I've had a voice in the back of my head begging to make a thread for this for a while. and so I decided that I'd do it today. I'm sure, most of us here at some point in our lives have at least fantasized about working in Theme parks, doing certain roles; from dispatching rides to designing the experiences. So here's a series of questions for you. 1. At what point did you get a reality check? At what point, did you go 'nah, I want to be'....'a (insert job here) instead!'. 2. Have you guys ever had any experience in the trades? 3. Why did/n't you stop? 4. What was your dream role? I'm interested to hear what you guys have to say after I've seen a lot of pe…

I have an exam tomorrow. I've not sat an exam in about 18 years. I should be revising, I'm writing this instead.

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

I thought I would create a quick thread for pictures of the super moon/Lunar eclipse. As the moon rose I was at Enchanted Village (Towers) and got the following: Pacman appeared Unfortunately I live in a place where I wont be able to see the eclypse (western horizon) at 01:00 tonight so wont be able to take any of it

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? )

Once again, a double decker bus has hit a railway bridge in Staines whilst carrying school pupils on their way to Thorpe Park. This is a highly marked bridge with signs that flash when a high vehicle approaches. Luckily nobody seriously hurt. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-surrey-32088386
