    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!

    Weird topic but many people on here like talking about trains and buses so.... discuss here.Today it seems there's an increase in transport police presence and more terrorist 'be vigilant' announcements at train stations. Wondered if there was some kind of warning for trains? (I know we're on high terrorist alert.)And I hate buses. My bus had been sat at the terminus for ages, yet decided to leave five minutes late. Made my train though, woo.

    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. …

    So, just wondered what you guys think.Do you reckon it is best to not go into further education and go straight into work. Or do you feel that studying gives you a better option for the future.With rising tuition fee's etc. it's an interesting topic.I understand that obviously it depends on what you would like to do (jobwise) but yeah, general answers.

    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 heard on the news this morning that Jade goody only has 8 weeks to live. I've been reading this from the start, doctorss had hoped they could cure her with a drug of some sort, but now that's been withdrawn. She is so young, and leaving behind 2 lovely kids, who are also just starting their lives. I just think it's so sad, I wonder how the kids will take it

    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'm on a nostalgia trip. If you know me its no secret you probably know I'm training on Runaway Train, which incidentally was my first ever rollercoaster back in 1992. Nowadays theme park is dominated by Stealth and ride reliability. Its hard to believe I've been well into coasters for nearly 10 years. So my question to you was when did you really get into rides and attractions and was there a ride that helped push you into it?My story isn't exactly complicated but looking back it was a very humble start. It was June 1998. Having not ridden anything huge for several years, as a small 10 year old I was extremely excited to go back to the "best day out in the South". Upon a…
