This. There's nothing worse than people who are two-faced and don't even notice it. Surely the proverb "Practise what you preach" should be called into play here. It leaks into my social life too. I quoth: "Just purchased a new pair of christian louboutin shoes! £460's worth. Eeeeeeeeeek! Money well spent. (Google them if you don't believe me )", and then I get this charming little nugget of wisdom popping up by the same person: "People have forgotten what christmas is all about! It's not just about being spoilt. Erugh BRATS!". Someone is flouting their own lesson there...Of course, there are other circumstances - observe the same individual: "I hate judgemental people. Just because you don't know me doesn't give you the rihgt to put me down!!", and then this, not an hour later: "No Mohammed Laàbous I will not be your friend on facebook.". Tbh, I'm sure Mohammed was a genuinely chirpy fellow; no need for the put-down.Funny thing is, you also get these very same people quoting some inspirational bible of confidence-building techniques and then all their plasticky friends swarm around it, practically tripping over each other in their desperate attempts to show their appreciation for their orange-coated friend momentarily assuming the ill-fitting position and some sort of wise old sage. Anyone can quote a self-help guide, and it makes you no wiser than reading Shakespeare makes you a literary genius. So again, I call to use the phrase I stated earlier, and affix my own twist: "Practise what you preach, and stop being such a bloody hypocrite".Also, people who complain about life being boring. What's that all about? Life's always going to have it's uneventful stints but so far you've managed to survive such trying trepidation... Get off the computer and stop updating your status about how nice your lunch is a breathe in some air you poor, sheltered creatures.

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
Please, SAW looks like a Tonka-toy compared to The Swarm and I saw no-one proclaiming it to be the "best" coaster. They definitely praised it, but it could only gaze up at that lofty accolade.

Haha! I get the ankle clicking when I walk too But as with Fred there's not much pain in those parts.I do have a really bad habit of 'cracking' my neck though - that's what really creeps my friends out. I know I shouldn't, but my neck goes really stiff sometimes. I swear these bone-related clickings are induced further by cold weather as well...- Rant
Oh god, there was me thinking I was alone. I blame it down to the crash diet to lose weight I had been the ages of 14-16, where I stopped eating dairy products, among most other things with a distinct taste.Every time I sit down my right thigh bone slips out of it's hip joint, and both my knees slide out of place. So I look stupid trying to click them back into place - I look like I'm pulling some retarded Michael Jackson move trying to put my knees in place. As for my thigh... well, if you ever see me thrust forward, it's not for the reason you think.- Random

*sigh*There's something very saddening about watching Sherlock Holmes... I genuinely think it's a brilliant film but it's so hard to watch because of it's more... subliminal themes. The ones that are less explored and leave many a question mark over the possibility and plausibility of them. When reflected in my own life it's just a little saddening, tis all. Makes me wonder if I'll ever have affinity like Holmes and Watson's...Edit: I meant to post this yesterday, but had difficulties posting. What a co-incidence Sarah! Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows has an awful lot to live up to; the first film was flawless and so well done.- Busch Gardens Tampa Bay

Yes Valentez! God if only I'd known where to find an image like that... I don't really do sci-fi horror films but that alien is exactly how I see the trains - scary/ugly but all the more exciting for just that reason!- THE SWARM: Construction Updates
The concept renderings certain suggest they're different, but it's hardly a reliable source of information. I'd rather the trains had a different design to Raptor, mainly because I believe The Swarm can look more vicious than Raptor, with their huge teeth and bright red eyes. I've said before how I almost want the trains to be 'ugly', like it's baring it's teeth angrily. The red LED eyes would definitely be the cherry on the cake.- Europa Park

Woah, woah! It's like Coaster Force up in here!Nobody gives a rat's arse what plane it is - it's a bloody plane! When have we seen one of those at Thorpe? In England? On any rollercoaster? The only thing that looks real to me are the engine nacelles, and there's no way you can determine which make/model/year/amount of times used/whatever-other-variables-we're-trying-to-pin-down just by a couple of defunct plane engines.The fuselage is clearly fake, and the wing is too - no plane with four engines has the second one that far out on the wing.But who really cares? I'm content we've got the plane, considering not two months ago we barely had any track. Now shut up and sit tight for the arrival of the guaranteed-to-be-amazing trains and further themeing.- Pets
Seriously missing my two kittens Louis and Willow... I want to go see them, but I don't know where they are or who has them My parents gave them to my sister's boyfriend's boss when I was last at Thorpe. I came home to find they'd been given away and I didn't even get to say goodbye. :'( - Rant
