I have just discovered Windows Sidebar I think I closed it when I first got my laptop (nearly two years ago!) and forgot about it. Then today I was thinking how people have clocks and stuff on the right-hand side of their desktop and wondered how they did it, and then I remembered! :)It's great, especially the post-it notes! I'm the most disorganised person so I've got a few on my screen reminding me about appointments and things I keep forgetting to do! They go nicely with the tragic looking giant peppers from the games at Thorpe!

Thorpe Park Open-Weekend Meetup - Sunday 21st March
WKD!!!!!!! Anyway back on topic...

Logger's Leap
^ Agreed.Watch out on the main drop for water flooding into the log! It happened on Annual Pass day so I lifted my feet up and saved them just in time! It doesn't happen in all of them but it seems to happen more and more each season It's funny if you're aware of it and have time to move your legs out the way, but if you're not aware and it happens, it isn't much fun at all!I hate to sound negative but can't they do anything about it? I'm sure it never used to be this bad, and it doesn't happen on Falls or the Flume (or at least not when I've been on).

You can! And I did use a compact digital camera! :)Well I guess it depends what you call expensive but prices are roughly from £140 - £300+But with these cameras you know it'll be worth the money! And they have a Leica lens which is very good in the camera world http://shop.panasoni.../digitalcamerasPanasonic are the best for technology I think :DMy Dad's Panasonic LCD TV, which he got in 2005, has a brilliant picture compared to newer LCDs made by other companies, and the sound is quite bassy! I've never heard such good sound on any other TVs (unless they're using surround sound). Our old "fat" TV was Panasonic and had brilliant bassy sound too.

Thank you :DI only use a digital camera Panasonic Lumix TZ-5. It's an amazing camera and I'm glad I got it. It has a lot of features, 10x optical zoom, HD videoing... My granddad is always buying professional SLR cameras but he has one of these too! They don't do it anymore, their latest one I believe is the TZ-7, which is pretty much the same except it has a 12x optical zoom and stereo sound (well it has two mics so guessing its stero) for videoing (mine only has mono). Panasonic Lumix cameras are very good and worth the money, I would recommend them :DI feel very chuffed that the photos look like they were taken on a professional camera

SAW: Alive
They pick on people who are at the back too! I was at the back the second time and they kept following me and snorting/oinking in my face

I know! This is my favourite:And this one makes me laugh every time I see it: look at the man on the front left, and the man in the back row!

Secret Celebrity Crush
The typical hotties that most people fancy don't do it for me.But Richard Hammond and David Tennant :DIs it me or do they both look alike? :DI saw someone at Clapham Junction yesterday who looked like David Tennant, but it wasn't. I stopped at the bottom of the stairs for a sec and thought "Omg what do I do?!" LOL and then I looked again and realised it wasn't haha.There is another person as well who I had a MASSIVE crush on in 2004-2006 but I'm not mentioning them, cos they're actually quite ugly/weird-looking and it's embarrassing You'll all think I've lost the plot! But I'm not the only one and he has a fansite/forum with a load of other people obsessed with him so I'm not alone, we can all be odd together!And he's an awesome actor and he comes from an awesome place/town!

I have taken some great pictures on my *awesome* camera (wich also films in HD )! :DI've picked the best ones and put them on my Photobucket. They are mostly from Thorpe but there are few from Chessie and Alton too!http://s100.photobuc.../Best%20photos/They were originally 3456 x 2592 but obviously had to be resized for Photobucket. They're 1520 x 1140 on there so not bad I guess :PEnjoy! I love them

SAW: Alive
Wikipedia is a bit dodgy as people can easily change things But whatever ;)I thought it was alrght the first time but the second time was much better as we had more pig-masked actors. I was on the back and they kept coming after me I've finally found a benefit of being a girl!The attention to detail and theming is the best thing about the maze, the bathroom scene is amazing - the stench of urine!! I also loved how at the start where you have your photo taken, it's pitch black.The freezer room is great too! Love how on the first time the people behind us went "It's freezing in here!" Well, duuuh!The actors were very convincing and it did feel like you were in the films, as people here have said, the creepiness/terror was there. And I noticed more the second time, like the blood (in the bathroom scene in the left corner where they're sawing their feet off!) and gore.And no furnace trap from SAW 2! Boy, did I breathe a sigh of relief!! I was quite scared about that, and in the review that was posted on here, it mentioned the smell of burnt flesh so I thought it'd be there. So I don't know what they were talking about, maybe the electrocution corridoor? There was a smell in there but I couldn't make out what it was.Actually, how the heck do you create a smell like that?! ^_^But yeah, good maze, fantastic theming, great actors and creepy pigs snorting in your ears, following you and grabbing your legs as you walk out the room!

The floor has been re-painted/jet-washed too, but it's not something that will stay looking so clean as it's...well, a floor! Appreciate it while you can people!

Nemesis Inferno
I thought that too and have done in the past.Not really rough like SAW or Colossus, just a little rougher/bumpier than usual.But nothing major, and some days it feels fine, maybe it's the weather/temperature?

No! Maybe the music isn't working at the moment? I remember Fright Nights in 08 it was a bit dodgy, as in you had to press the button loads of times until the music started playing.Maybe it's now gone completely?Because the mic was working fine, so it's not the whole PA system, just something to do with the audio link or the buttons I guess.Or, it may have just been the operator, sometimes they're like that, they don't bother with the music, no idea why cos it's not really much effort pushing some extra buttons, it makes it more fun! But I doubt this was the case, seeing as the day before was music-less as well apparently.Hopefully it'll be fixed soon, it was pretty dull tbh and yes, you could even hear it squeaking! Sounded like a squeaky swing in a playground! Needs some oil ^_^But the paint job is lovely

Colossus
The picture I posted is actually a different sign, so it's two that got re-done ^_^It's the one by the final turn, opposite Rush

Video Games.
I want a Wii! My step-brother has one and when I go to my dad's I always play on Super Mario Bros with him! Fun times!And the Wii Fit is good fun! Hehe!I don't play on my PS2 as much as I used to and some games I got years ago I don't play anymore (GTA, lol, I got it cos I loved it when I played on it at my friend's but then I got bored when I had it myself!). I confess I love the Simpsons and am a Harry Potter fangirl So I never get bored of playing The Simpsons Hit and Run and the Harry Potter games :PI have a Finding Nemo game, it game with the PS2 lol!And playing Virtua Tennis 2 against my brother, fun times.I also have DS...And obviously I've played/still sometimes play the classics like the RCT games, The Sims...Zoo Tycoon! Penguins eat giraffes!!Oh and gotta love Worms! I named one team with my teachers' names when I was at school, naturally they were the team I played against! I am easily amused!

Don't worry too much, it looks worse than it is, trust me! Give it a try. :PI find it's more intense if I go on it first, so if you do give it a go, maybe do some other intense rides first. And don't eat or drink before going on this! Or you WILL feel sick! I drank a can of Relentless before this once, and I could feel it sloshing around in my stomach! Eurgh not good!
