Ditto to that - and at least I'm sort of on the way to Chessie unlike some who are in Winchester (Plus carrrrrr is cheaper than train ) Love yhoo even more Peaj

Can we please move on from this now? I am, I have PM'd an admin and I don't wish for this to be dragged on any longer than it already has. I have done the right thing by taking it to private message and away from the public forum, I had hoped others would do the same. It has been two days now

In answer to the question why do I keep coming back - because the majority of people here like me a lot and I feel the same about them, and all of my friends are here. Most of the time, I feel loved and welcomed, it is only occassionally that I feel "victimized." I am not going to let a few issues get in the way of the positive parts to being a member here. As for Skype - nothing of the sort has happpened in a long time, I made that mistake before and learnt from it. With regards to everything else, as I stated in my last post here, I had actually calmed down about the situation and assumed that would be it, but clearly some people here still wish to discuss it. I'm not going to drag it out here so I will continue it via PM

Happy Easter Awww

I just got marmalised.

Coffee!

Well now we all sound barmy! I shall explain my actions for anyone concerned: my body clock has been messed up for a good few months now, this happens every winter - due to my hours decreasing at work and havig nothing to get up for, I easily slip into bad habits and am naturally a night owl! Now while it may be unhealthy, the idea is that by staying awake I am knackered tonight and then feel tired at a reasonable time, hopefully starting the return of a normal body clock. I can't get to sleep until about 4am these days so it got to the point where I thought "I'm sick of this happening then wasting the day asleep. I want/need to sort this out!" So I have good intentions for my body Just means a day of delirium! And it has also given me a future fundraising idea - this is something I would happily and probably quite easily due for charity! Oh and I've tried the whole setting an alarm and getting up and staying awake all day thing. Doesn't work. Another reason why I am trying this

Well said Sidders and Han (I would have just liked the posts but I've reached my quota )

The fact that I've ranted about the filter changing is the reaction, I mean. Also, two members here tweeted each other about getting Ian to change the word filter so presumably they knew it was going to happen, and infact this makes the situation worse, knowing that it was planned and that at least 2 others were involved. What I mean is, it's one of those "Ignore them and they will stop it" kind of scenarios. The mature thing would have been not to rant here and give them the satisfaction, but as stated, I think it needs to be heard, because from my eyes, it's targeted behaviour. On its own, yes it is kind of amusing. But the fact that a few weeks ago people got p'd off with me talking about D!sney a lot, and then today the word filter changes, is too much of a coincidence. EDIT: I feel better now after speaking to a lovely person/mod about this (they know who they are!) but I still stand by what I say. If people don't like me talking about something a lot or just plain don't like me then fine, because you know, that's life, and I can't please everyone. But I still feel it was a bit far to change the filter. Admins and mods are supposed to set an example and be there to help and support members, and while this was presumably meant as a bit of fun, I still personally don't find it acceptable behaviour, and other people who I've spoken to also agree, so it isn't just me.

Whoever has added D!sney to the word filter so that it changes to Thorpe needs to change it back please. I'm starting to find this place rather pathetic. It was one thing that I was laid into a few weeks ago because apparently I was talking about it too much, it's another for people to go as far as to put it into the word filter. You can all tell me to calm down and that it's just a joke as much as you want, but I personally feel like I'm being targeted (again). It's alright for other members here to bang on about the same thing again and again (without mentioning names) but why is it an issue when I do it? What have I done for a select group of people (you know who you are) to have this issue with me? Why should I be the joke? I suspect the people that are in on this are loving the fact I've ranted about it and that they've got a reaction out of me. I could have just private messaged a mod but I think it should be out in the open how I'm being made to feel on this place by certain people!

Wow that's really rude! And shocking words and language from a grandparent! Mine would never dream of speaking to their grandchildren like that, it would break their hearts! And why is she calling you a lazy arse?! I can imagine your frustration too at not being able to reply! (Something kinda similar happened to me recently, where somebody said something I suspect was aimed at me, and if it was I will be furious as it's not true, dam ignorant, a false accusation, none if their fricking business...the list could go on! Making my blood boil just thinking of it!) At least your dad doesn't mind you being up until 4 (or you haven't said he does anyway)! I'm 23 and my mum and brother STILL moan at me for staying up that late! Yeah it's a ridiculous time but hey, if I don't have anything to get up for the next day and I'm spending that time speaking to friends on Skype, then so what? Besides, when they're in bed it's the only time I can relax and get peace and quiet, as when they're awake there's noise and arguing Night owls ftw!

Love how Peaj is freaking out and Dara is chilling like a boss.

Love love love it! Credit to The Attractions Guide Facebook page And yes Josh they do look different to the other Gerst restraints!

Oh well, at least the trains look good from what we've seen so far

I thought they looked more like lap bars They don't look like the usual Gerst OTSRs anyway, unless of course it's a new design

Right - finally getting round to writing my trip report for this fantastic meet! It won't be as detailed as normal as I also have a Towers trip report and Disney trip reports to write! Overall it was a brilliant day. Awesome company and I am so pleased that Han came and did most of the major rides! Well done Had lots of laughs as usual, and was so funny to see Dara so excited - he literally ran to Inferno without stopping when we arrived! Bless him! The look on his face when Peaj told him we had to wait for a few others to arrive! It's a bit of a blur as it was nearly 2 weeks ago and there was Towers and Disney afterwards. But the ERT event itself went well despite the cold, wet weather! Gosh my hands were freezing afterwards and so red! I couldn't stop shivering for ages! Well done to Thorpe for arrnaging this and letting us be part of this, makes me feel so privelaged to be on their official fansite! Thank you and well done to the staff who stayed behind to run the event and played music to make it even more fun

I wouldn't do it if someone was talking directly to me as that would be plain rude! Or indeed in the middle of eating! But I can sometimes feel awkward around groups of people and briefly checking my phone and "getting away" so to speak acts as a sort of comfort Or if I'm not involved in the conversation. Again, not intended in a rude way, but if I have nothing to say or I'm not interested in the conversation, it feels so awkward just sitting doing nothing! It's hard to explain! Usually though it's taking or uploading photos. Or say we had a drink or something after a meet and the people that are already home have uploaded photos etc, I'll have a look at them. Can make discussion out of it too, so not being completely rude

Yes, yes and billboard. Backwards can feel more intense and is a very interesting experience. The billboard looks good, love the detail on it. And it creates a fantastic near miss! Always ended up lowering my arms and slightly ducking when going through it

I often check my phone while I'm with people. It's called multitasking. You should try it one day.

Young Maxy sure is becoming a man! Nearly as tall as Dara! #Patronising

Sheepie's "Come to bed" face:

Whoa - what happened yesterday? Since Peaj has been meet organiser they have been going brilliantly and he always does introductions

Looking forward to hearing more about this meet (and I hope Han remembered to do what I asked her to!) Gutted I missed out on this Tidal Wave malarky and Detty Marathon, I so would have been in on that! And Dara I hope you're joking about your wallet! Is this a new curse of TPM? "For every chav that falls from the old Storm Surge...a member of TPM's wallet...would DISAPPEAR!" Yeah bitchez, I'm back in the country

Avoir un temps fantastique tout le monde aujourd'hui! J'espère que la neige n'est pas trop mauvais!

Alton Towers Pic n Mix is delish. Wish I'd put more blue bon bons in though, they are the sex! And my phone just tried to change bon to vomit
