We have just had the best news ever! We've been waiting for it for ages and then it kept getting delayed. So not only have we finally had the news, the news is better than we expected!!!!!! :(We thought it wouldn't happen until November, or August, but that was being optimistic.But it's happening today! Or to be precise, it finished today!I know this won't make any sense to anyone and I wish I could tell you all what exactly has been going on, but it's not something you'd talk about publicly, family business, etc etc.But it's been crappy times since February and now it's all over! :DLet the good times roll!

As a female, and if I was in an area that had gang problems, I would feel much safer in a group!!

What?! That's ridiculous!I'm assuming it's only at night, cos what about school/college kids?And how are they going to keep an eye on everyone exactly? Unless they have police everywhere! When they could be doing something far more useful, like actually targeting real criminals, rather than making everyone suffer?

Ryan - sorry, please don't take offense from my last post!I don't have a clue about the other countries in the World Cup or that the game earlier was a big game, guess I should've thought about that before posting!Benin - nope, they are definitely English! But even if they were supporting someone, there's still the fact that they make noise until about 1-2am every night, slamming doors and shouting and swearing and generally not giving a toss about anyone else and they fact that we're trying to sleep.And a friend of their kept coughing up flem and spitting it out onto the driveway earlier...and seeing as we share a driveway...ugh.

Grr at selfish noisy neighbours.They had their back door wide open, being all noisy, by the sounds of it they're watching the World Cup. So those things considered, everyone can hear them, and it really scared Tango! Infact since they moved in he's been nervous, cos they're so noisy, shouting and slamming every door possible. So he's not eaten much and he's following me everywhere, poor cat :unsure:And anyway, England aren't even playing today, why do people get soooo worked up over a match that doesn't even involve teams they really care about?! Losers tbh :DI am so glad we're moving in a few weeks!

^^ Yeah it is!You can get high rides and cheap thrills on a KMG Booster at a traveller fun fair! :unsure:All this talk of European parks is making me want to back in time to Year 8 and re-live going to Phantasialand Or have the money to go to European parks, either way...

Mystery Castle :DActually wasn't as good as I thought it would be Going up, forceful! Dropping...meh.I remember the rapids, it had a lift on the ride!

I went to Phantasialand in Year 8, but the next lot of year 8s went to Disneyland Paris!! Baring in mind this was 2003 (I think it now has better coasters now), mind you it was still great fun! The runaway train...now THAT is a runaway train! Although it was bloody hard trying to work out how to get around, I only knew a little bit of German and the map seemed confusing, and it was BUSY and Germans all stink of BO . We got back on the coach and some friends were going on about Fear and Force, we were like WHERE WAS THAT?! Lol :unsure:My brother went to Europa Park when he was in Year 8 (2000) so again, it didn't seem like much, but now it'll probably be much better!

Meh I wanted to make my point, not my fault the topic had changed by the time I had a chance to post :DWhich seems to have happened again, but I have other things to do apart from watch the forums all day (And I do mean that)Aaaaaaaanyway, as for the Big Dipper...bit worrying, but like other people, I can't help just thinking "Oh well it's Blackpool!" Sorry if this is a stupid question buuut who's Amanda?

Why are people dissing Valhalla? :DYou're all NUTS!

I know! That has really shocked me and pi$ed me off! No doubt he'll get noticed and get his own show or something hopefully but still, it's like it's a fix or something. And I bet that Kieran boy got votes out of sympathy, or just cos he's a kid. Like that Holly Steele last year who they reckon cried to get attention/sympathy votes. He makes drumming look ten times harder than it probably is, as someone said on here he puts the expression on his face etc. I know it probably is hard but I don't like his personality either, too over confident and his parents look a right lot don't they! I hate to judge but sometimes you can just look at people or see them on these shows and tell right away what they're like!I just hope that the votes were extremely close, otherwise I don't know what this country was thinking!

cCould you just go with a group of friends? I didn't go with a boy, there was one I had a crush on but he didn't like me and was going with another girl as friends, so I just went with my friends and still had a good time Everyone makes a big thing about getting a "prom date", but if anything, it just causes stress and unecessary pressure. It reminds me of Valentines Day. You can buy your loved one gifts any time, but there's so much pressure to do so on Valentine's Day, just to make money. A person could get a date anytime of the year, but as soon it's time for the prom, everyone feels like they have to have a date! Which is only for the night? What's the point? Not unless you generally liked each other or were going out of course!I say screw what everyone does and thinks, go with your friends and have a laugh!

My favourites are Paul Burling, Janey, Spelbound, Twist & Pulse and Tina & Chandi.I agree about Spelbound being the biggest rivals. But I love Tina & Chandi Twist & Pulse are funny but then again we had Diversity last year, they're not the same but it would make a nice change not to have dancers winning. Janey is sweet and I'm sure The Royal Family would love her but, without sounding harsh, even though singing is a talent they could go on X Factor to sing, as you said.Well it's about to start so we'll just have to wait and see!

Maybe the weed thing is a one off (though they were drinking a lot of beer and smoking lots of cigarettes), guess we'll just have to wait and see. But I do wonder why they moved at night, when it's dark, and if it's because they have a lot of drugs and obviously didn't want people seeing!I feel bad cos it's only their first day, and one of the guys earlier smiled at me and mum and said hello, and he looked like a decent person (but then you can't judge a book by its cover!). I don't want to be too quick to judge. But from what I've heard from them so far, they don't sound the most considerate of people!

UGGH! We have new neighbours and they are AWFUL!! I hate to stereotype but they're typical council estate people! Well actually it could be worse - they do work and they don't scrounge off benefits and there's three friends, it's not a family that constantly pops out kids ;)But...they're loud. I don't just mean they have loud voices, even though that can be annoying if I'm not in a good mood, that's not a major thing to moan about. But these people, I mean they go too far. And they're swearing constantly, saying vile things that most people wouldn't say out loud because they'd respect the neighbours (such as, "girls like it up the a**"). And I definitely could smell weed. Whether it was them or the people over the back, I don't know, but considering over the back is a guest house...I dunno, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was the neighbours. And one of them was talking pretty slow and weird so yah. At one point when they said the F word, one of the blokes went "Yes we're allowed to say that now!" and later on he said, in a moody voice, "If anyone moans about us being loud, they can f**k off!" How lovely. And they were saying how they couldn't believe they got to rent the house, and they're scared of the landlady. I may be wrong, but it seems to me like they've probably caused trouble before to the neighbours with their language etc, which could obviously put people off, especially as round here is a decent area, they probably thought the agents wouldn't want to let them live here! And they have a dog (labrador), but the old neighbours wanted a cat but weren't allowed. Assuming the landlady is the same, this shouldn't be allowed. Landlords/ladies often don't allow pets no matter what, and it's unlikely they'd change their minds. But they haven't met her yet? It could be that they really got the estate agents to convince her...but again, I don't trust them. Wouldn't surprise me if they're sneaking the dog in.Oh and did I mention they moved in last night? At like midnight? The noise went on til about 4am! Me and mum were NOT happy, we phoned the estate agent to check it had been let and people weren't squatting (cos seriously, who moves house at night?!) but they obviously said no, it has been let, but they also said to phone if they make any more noise late at night. Well we'll just have to wait and see, but the stuff I heard (and smelt) today is pretty unacceptable as it is! We are going to be moving again soon but houses are really thin on the ground atm, goodness knows how long we'll be stuck next to this scum!

I can't believe the shootings in Cumbria, it's tragic It's so scary and upsetting just to watch it on the news...I can't imagine what the people in the village must be going through. And the poor families/friends of those lost

Bump.BGT 2010. Discuss here!I love Paul Burling, Twist & Pulse, Spelbound, Tina & Chandi, Janey Cutler...and they're all through to the final! I liked Tyler Patterson but ah well, they can't all get through.Kevin Cruise was a good laugh and hilariously camp!

Bump!I had loads of weird dreams recently...can't remember them all now! But one involved lots of my teeth falling out, rotting away, and I stood there in the mirror, staring in horror! Probably because I've been thinking about them recently, as I'm going to the dentist for the first time since 2006, next Wednesday!And also one of those really fun, random and just totally wacky dreams that are awesome! I was with my dad and brother at Thorpe...except it had loads more coasters etc, which were amazing! And Tidal Wave was some wacky, twisty turny water ride, quite violent and bumpy! But the best/most bizarre thing was Colossus. Instead of each car having 2 rows of 2 seats facing forward, as normal...there was two facing forward, two facing each other, so sideways...and then two backward (opposite the forward ones)! But the backward ones weren't allowed to be used, but they had been, and everyone was watching expecting people to fall out ;)Oh and then there was Dragon's Fury, except it was in a cave and the track was tiny (like a few inches wide!) and it was dodgy

Paul Burling the brilliant comedy impressionist is through to the BGT final! Yes!

Sorry, but like Paul, I have to disagree on this. No they can't be blamed for everything, everyone has to put effort in, but the admin/trip organiser should have some authority, you can't expect someone else to just take charge. I wasn't at the meet but at previous meets where it has taken a while to get people to listen/get ready for the photo, I've really felt like taking charge but there's no way I would, no one would listen because I don't have any authority etc.I'm not trying to be harsh, just echoing what the majority of people on here have been saying, as I agree with them.Now let's focus on the next meetups and make sure they're some of the best

I agree, that was a brilliant meetup! "Big Brother appreciates the bauble."

Do I look like a Dementor :)STUPEFY!EDIT: I'm off to bed now, got a busy day tomorrow, looking after my Blast-Ended Skrewts and taking my Hippogriff to the vet

Petrificus Totalus!

Sooooo it's that time of year again where we laugh our arses off, and go "Oh my god, they better not get through to the final!"...BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT! :(Kevin Cruise Anyone else been watching (you know you all have ) and who do you want to see in the final/to win?
