    Hey read this, it's guaranteed to make you mad!!http://www.dailymail...booze-bill.html What a joke.I do sympathise with people who have mental health issues, because they are real conditions and they can be just as disabling as physical disabilities. However, a decent person with mental health issues would get to a psychiatrist and get better that way. Drinking is not acceptable and these people I don't feel sorry for! They're just making their lives worse and trying to get sympathy for it!I have Aspergers and ADHD but I don't sit around claiming I'm too ill to work, and I don't get drunk every day to be able to cope! I go to a psychiatrist like any sensible person would! Yes I'm on Employment and Support Allowance, because I do have SOME difficulty in working, in terms of adapting to new places/people, but really, I want to be working, I hate sitting around with nothing to do. I get help with finding work that is suitable and I'm bloody grateful for it, it gives me confidence knowing I have support when things are tough for me. I could probably be elegible for lower rate of Disability Living Allowance but I don't need it, and I'd never claim it. It would make me feel more disabled and quite intimidated, because it's not necessary for me. I'm not that desperate to get money!I can't believe they deliberately didn't pay the rent in their old home, just cos they wanted a new one! It makes me sick. There's nice families with kids who need a home, who are stuck in tiny flats and bedsits. This family have too many kids cos they're selfish, and they get everything! Some of us would do ANYTHING to have all that money, and we wouldn't use it to spoil kids, we'd be sensible and save it up, or maybe even settle bills! Or just be able to afford to live!! We'd be grateful to have it. This family doesn't need the money they get. They should have it taken away or reduced, so that they have to go without luxuries like a lot of us do! Maybe then they will be encouraged to get off their fat arses and work!!I hope they get evicted, they are the scum of the earth!And how surprising, they live in Crawley...to those who are unfamiliar with Crawley, it's a town in West Sussex, not far from me, and full of chavs and scum. Well obviously like most places, there are nice parts of it and nice people (I know of some, and my cousin, hubby and kids live near and they are lovely!). But it's typical of families like this.Even the name is horrible...Crawley...crawling with scum.Then again I live in Horley! Which does home a few whores!
  2. It's expensive! I remember years ago when it wasn't so expensive and you could buy loads of tokens! Turbo was my first upside down coaster too! The first drop always gets me No force? I dunno, maybe not G's but it's bloody painful and rough! Haven't been on it in years, just can't be bothered as it's not much and it's painful.Crazy Mouse is always a good laugh :oWaltzer can be brilliant with a good spin...better than Storm In A Teacup! Much better sensation. I remember the first time I got an intense ride on it, I was with my Dad and brother, we couldn't believe it! Haha!Twist used to feel intense (I was even scared to go on it once!) but now it's just meh.Booster...rip off. And not intense. And it's Fabbri If you want a good Booster ride, go on a KMG one at a fun fair. Trust me!!Super Booster is also pretty expensive but the rush you get is worth it! And the feeling in your stomach is more intense than Detonator!!! Well that's what I found anyway. And the way you feel so exposed and hanging over the sea...!!I like

    I know someone called Michael who has worked at the park for a few years (and also at Chessie), I worked with him when I was there. Yes, he is a legend! :oWhat was he doing on Vortex (that was unique)?
  4. Yaaay! :oThank you thank you thank you!EDIT: Is Rob F really attending? Well this is awkward now...sorry but I have to be honest!
  5. Steeeeve...do you know anymore about when you may have your Magic Pass? After working out my finances, it would appear that I couldn't even afford to use a BOGOF voucher Unless I grow wings and fly to the park, saving me money on train fare
  6. Lol.I shall use force >
  7. Grand National FTW! :PI've only been once, really wanna go again!I just need money and people to go with, who trust the rides and believe that they really are decent
  8. But the second runway at Gatwick will wipe out the historical village, Charlwood (where I have lived twice too!). Not good!What? I swear there was a post just now, but now it's gone :unsure:Grr
  9. ^ LOL But isn't it on BBC Three at 10pm? Well anyway, we're screwed, I'm p****d off, echoing pretty much everyone else etc. And I agree with Mark9.
  10. They should have got Christopher Biggins to do it, he would have been hilarious!Or Dean Gaffney Too obvious, I know, but it would have been such a laugh
  11. I missed it last week but I'm watching it now on Watch+1, it's hilarious! I thought it might be a bit trashy but it's pretty entertaining!

    Attention everyone!Testicles.That is all.

    This may sound crazy, but I actually wish I was more curvy, I hate being so slim (size 8, sometimes a 6!)!! People often say "Ew you're so boney!" or that I never eat. And I think it also contributes in making me look so ridiculously young for my age. Unless I'm wearing tight-fitting clothing (which I don't that often, because I'm weird like that, I get irritated by tight-fitting clothes that restrict body movement And I get too hot too easily, even in winter!), you can't see any shape to my body and I just look like a really tall 12 year old! So I can't win. I don't know, maybe I should eat more, but I think it's just genetic. My brother is the same, bless him. He's quite conscious about it But yeah, you are who you are, no matter what shape or size! Great quote from Outnumbered:Mum: "A woman can be any size or shape she wants to be."Karen: "So what about a hexagon?":unsure:But I'm not just saying it, I think being slim is worse, it causes so many issues with clothes! Even my feet are narrow! I have such a tiny waist, I was the only one at Thorpe when I worked there, that found the shorts too big, and the smallest waist was 30. I'm 26!! I have quite long legs so buying trousers is a pain in the arse! They're either too short to fit my waist, or too big round the waist and always need a tight belt, to be long enough on my legs!Size 12 seems pretty normal to me. I feel underweight compared to everyone else. No seriously. Every girl I know is like a size 12 and looks great. They look like women. I either look like an underweight boy, or a lanky 12 year old. Unless I'm naked of course. But most people tend to see me clothed!
  14. ^^ Agree
  15. Mer replied to Phill's topic in Nonsense
    I has Jelly Beans
  16. Huh? You've confused me, and now my last post looks confusing as well! :)I think what I was trying to say was that it's not the public's fault, but the country/the polling stations. Cos they clearly weren't prepared. And one guy even admitted it
  17. Haha.Although, I heard that some of them turned up at 7:30 (presumably after work so not their fault!) and queued for 2 1/2 hours! And what about the place that ran out of ballot papers?! That's definitely not the public's fault!And then there was all the dappy students who turned up and weren't even registered to vote, wasting other people's valuable time! Had they not made it clear enough with TV adverts to make sure you're registered?! Although it's common sense anyway.But apart from them, it wasn't the public's fault. It's never happened before (or at least they didn't say it had), it just proves how ridiculous this country is, it can't cope enough because it doesn't prepare enough! Remember all the heavy snow and Britain coming to a standstill? If they had voted, they could have stopped the Tories getting the most seats - or they may have given them more seats. Either way, we'll never know now, and whilst I don't want the Tories in, those people had a right to vote, whoever they were going to vote for!
  18. ^^ Agree.Tories scare me David Cameron is creepy...he does look evil in that photo lol!
  19. My curiosity has got the better of me...What is this sprinkles thing all about?! :DAnd "It's a long story" or "Don't worry" doesn't count as an answer!
  20. Mer replied to Ashley W's topic in General Discussion
    Agree with Ian.It's up to the celebs and I don't blame them if they wanted to be considered a "normal" guest. But I also don't blame them for not wanting to queue with loads of people, as they risk being harassed, or they may not want to get much attention, etc.
  21. Mer replied to Phill's topic in Nonsense
    I doubt they would say anything like that if there really was something going on.People are too quick to judge, and it's a shame that nowadays, the moment a teacher is nice/friendly to a student, people assume something dodgy is going on.I'm not having a go But just observing how much things have changed over the years.I dreamt about toast last night.
  22. I applied for one today, finally found one that's suitable!I'm not saying too much, don't wanna get too excited yet/jinx anything!Even if I get it I don't think I'd get paid by 30th May. In fact I probably won't have even started! So I may still be screwed!But like I said, I don't want to speak too soon, so for now let's assume I am still unemployed on May 30th!
  23. Mer replied to Phill's topic in Nonsense
    :(Grabbing someone's leg whilst on a ride and seeing their mad reaction is always entertaining Especially when they squawk!
  24. Mer replied to Marc's topic in The Real World
    Aww that's a shame, it's a lovely job!The centre I go to is too far to go every day. The train is ok, only 15 minutes and a few quid...the bus however is a 25 minute journey and a return ticket is £5.10!!
