Thorpe Park Meetup - Sunday 30th May 2010
Thank you Will :(I will have to check when they expire though! And Steve has offered to let me use his Magic Pass if he has it, and it would be better for me to do so as I really don't have much money! I'm not even sure I can afford to use a BOGOF voucher! Yup, bad times at the moment! Stupid Annual Pass expiriing :(So it's not definite yet.

Political Discussion
They all sounded like they want people off benefits into work tbh. Brown was on about all young people being offered training etc. And Clegg made a point about people being put off returning to work because initially they will be worse off for money, as things like housing benefit will suddenly stop as well. So they're only doing part-time because they don't see the benefit financially of working full-time.But whether they'll stick to what they say or not...

Political Discussion
LOL!Cameron is creepy...his face is too shiny to look real and he has a big forehead :DGood debate to watch though, I'm still thinking Lib Dems but I won't be too bothered if Labour win...just as long as the Tories don't win!! Argh!Oh god apparently Cameron is winning...help!!

This is my great uncle (on my mum's side):At 85, an Accomplished Marathoner Still Sees the Road Ahead:DOne time when my Nan and Granddad went out to visit them in the States, some news reported turned up wanting to do an interview...while my Granddad was cutting his hair for him! It was then on the news later on :(I knew about all the things he's done, but reading about it made me realise even more so. It's great that someone can be so positive about life and keep on going no matter how old they are!

Jobs..
Woop!And to follow on from my last post...I am now a Cat Cuddler at the National Cat Adoption Centre in Chelwood Gate! I love it, and it's perfect: it's not too quiet but not too busy; the staff/volunteers are lovely but I don't have to be chatty and stuff because you don't spend a great deal of time with them - but I spend enough to gradually get to know them, at a comfortable level; it's something I've always been passionate and knowledgable about, which gives me confidence; I can come and go when I want, so no pressure (although this is more of a bonus rather than something that helps me personally - I'd go every day if I had the money). And yes, I spend the time there stroking, cuddling and making a fuss of the lovely cats. :(If I want I can help out more, which I will definitely ask about next time I go. They also have Cat Care Assistants, which are paid jobs, but I don't think they have anything going at the moment. But to be honest, I love what I'm doing, it makes me happy...so I'm not worrying and thinking "Oh I'm not earning money" because I'm happy enough. I don't really consider myself unemployed anymore either, in a way. I'm doing something so I feel better about myself.And voluntary work like this is often how people start a career working with animals, which is something I'd love to do.

Just thought - my great uncle appeared in some computer game (not a well-known one, I don't think) and he sung at the end (he's a good opera singer)! And he's done lots of acting. Mainly on stage I think, though.

Haribo Goldbears NOM!Indian take-away for dinner.And a banana split for dessert, even got marshmallows to go on top! :DNot sure how I'm going to serve it up though, we haven't got a long enough dish! Should be fun :DEDIT: I want an iPhone, plan on getting a 3GS when I get some money I have been waiting months for (long story)...now there's a new one? So I'll look old if I get the 3GS! But it'll be cheaper when the new one is released and I like the 3GS soooo...I dunno, I've confused myself! I'll just do whatever happens when the moment comes, I should know after being alive for 20 years that I buy on impulse and planning ahead rarely works!

How did you meet David Tennant? I could have seen him (but not actually met, like said hello etc) at the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix premiere, if I'd been standing in a different place, grr! I didn't know he was gonna be there either!But yeah, I did go to that premiere so I saw Dan Radcliffe and all that lot! But I didn't see many of the adult actors, and I really wanted to. I'd be more excited about seeing them than the young actors, they're more interesting and they're awesome. :DIt all went a bit wrong tbh...firstly I was on my own, secondly, back then I had a crappy digital camera so the pictures are mostly blurry (although everyone pushes you so it's hard anyway). But the worst thing is that where I was originally, would have been by where they all start arriving. There was some guy with a plan of the square and he told me where the actors would all go. Where I was, was fine, but I thought I would try my luck in a different spot...and it turned out to be rubbish. And, at the last minute, they decided to make a small area for wheelchair users...which was right in front of the fencing I was by, so the actors weren't able to come by and sign books etc. Everyone was pretty angry. :DNext time I go (I will go to another one because I want another go getting it right lol), I will plan ahead, and stay where I know will be a good spot! And I have my awesome camera which has a hand-shaking feature to prevent pics being blurry! Just wish I knew someone who'd go with me. :)Oh yeah, Lizo from Newsround was there too!Judi Dench lives in Outwood, which is down the road from me, my mum saw her in Waitrose. My mum has seen quite a few people when she worked at Gatwick. When she saw Tom Baker he said to her "Hello again" even though she hadn't seen him before. Stange!And she briefly appeared on the old holiday program, "Wish You Were Here", they went to Gatwick and she was there, working!And me, mum, dad and brother appeared in the background of a Virgin Atlantic holiday brochure, when we were in Antigua!And I've watched the filming of My Family, bit random but hey, someone had tickets!I appeared on the news when we got our GCSE results, they filmed at the school and me and my friends were in the background, briefly. You could see me pointing at the results and jabbering on about something.But apart from those little things, I've not actually met anyone/spoken to them You're all so lucky! How d'you come across these people?!

Thorpe Park Bus
The bus is bloody awful - thank goodness for Marc! Otherwise I'd have that ordeal every time I visit!And can you imagine if it crashed? No chance of survival - you'd be crushed to a chavvy death. :)One day someone will be injured from them overloading it, and they'll hopefully be compensated!And £3 is too much, and I do not wish to be shot either! Even when I had had a job I found it ridiculous, everyone does...I agree about AP holders, they should get discount like staff do.The chavs on the bus go "Forpe Park bruv! Forpe Park bruv! Forpe Park bruv!" The chavs on the bus go "Forpe Park bruv!" allll daaay loooong...
