You didn't go to the premier of the Fantastic Four?

Snowball fights! O, Come All Ye Faithful or Away In A Manger?

You don't represent London in basketball?

So, I've officially had more voters' votes for their favourite theme parks, rides, meets and members than last year! But there's still time to get your votes in, though not much! Voting closes at 20:00 (8pm) on December 18th, remember. Plenty of time for the rest of you to get your votes in and join the other 21 voters so far!

Quality Street every time! Baubles or tinsel?

Mince pies. Mulled wine is rank! Christmas cracker jokes or The Queen's Speech?

Can't stand Noddy Holder or that song, so it's easily The Coca-Cola ad for me! Father Christmas or Santa Claus?

Artificial - much easier to make artificial trees look amazing. Natural trees aren't 'full' enough. The Polar Express or The Nightmare Before Christmas?

I CAN'T DECIDE. I'll go for sausage rolls because I can have them any time of the year. Mince pies in June is a bit weird. Eggnog or mulled wine?

Mer, what have I told you about playing TPM match-maker?

I love it when live versions are better than the recorded ones.

Interesting to see the gap between Slammer and Rush, especially since they're both battling for first place in Best UK Flat Ride in the TPM Park Awards...

RIGHT GUYS. 6 days. Don't be shy. I await your PMs!

All this talk of the Winchester makes me feel like people do actually know where I live!

I here you, but Takabisha has no themeing at all. SW7 has enormous themeing pieces to build as well as the track, and to build either before the other will naturally restrict the ease of movement when building the second part (looking likely to be the themeing e.g. the spider thing). I don't worry that it won't be open for March - I worry it'll pull a Krake on us.

Interesting post Sarah, and I completely agree, but there is something of a distinction between what Mer might be going through and say, a more personal issue. Mer's rant was at 'the establishment' and I've always found it hard to disagree that any rant at that sort of entity has automatic clout. Personal issues are, obviously, much harder to speak about and to many extents haven't been so openly discussed on here. It's perfectly normal of course! But it's just an observation I'd made. We all suffer in silence about many things, which is pretty scary when you think about it.
