So the time has come for Part 4 of 5 on our Legoland adventure, we left the last chapter with some of our TPM explorers running away and things just seemed to be a bit hectic, so what will happen next I wonder? To keep calm after all the drama Han30 decides to grope Mr. Fish Afterwards it was a nice opportunity for a mini group photo Jealous that they didn't get to play with Lego earlier with the others - Phill Pritchard & Rocket find the opportunity and then concentrate After a long day walking around - Captain Phill Pritchard & Rocket decide to take a relaxing boat ride around the river But hang on a moment - Captain Peaj has saved JamesC from that shark in the water and is close on Phill Pritchards heels Peaj takes control of the boat and goes straight for Captain Phill Pritchard & Rockets boat Meanwhile after being groped by Han30, Mr. Fish has taken Han30 on a date to show off his driving skills - Han30 is not impressed It has got to the end of the day and the TPM explorers are forced to leave the park - However Peaj resists! Han30 however after dumping Mr. Fish for his bad driving has already found a new partner - Pedro - who completely fulfils her needs To finish off Part 4 - Let's play a game - Spot the streaker So the operating hours at Legoland have finished their run - But I hear you say "We are only on Part 4, that doesn't make sense. " In the final chapter will our TPM explorers get out of Legoland....Alive....? Who is a hidden Chef? And where will the Official Group Photo of this trip take place? Please come back again tomorrow to put an end to this saga.

Well JamesC, I have to admit when I've been writing the story I had to keep double checking if it was either you or Cornflakes in the photo's when it was just one of you And so we continue, Welcome to back to part 3 of 5 of the Legoland Adventures - you lucky devil . At the midway point we will see some winners, some losers and even more Lego! After all the adventures in the water, Cornflakes steals Han30's invention whilst Phill Pritchard leads the party and gets lost in the maze However Phill Pritchard, a big fan of the Star Wars Franchise smells out it's own miniland so we can show off his other 'fanboy side' This is that Green Goblin Thing Phill Pritchard - Just remember that With Peaj's taunting - war breaks and fires start, so team Phill Pritchard get ready to extinguish some fire alongside Rocket, Han30 & Mr. Fish Enemies with Team Phill Pritchard, Team Peaj (alongside Matt Creek and the clones that are Jamflakes) get ready to defeat those losers Phill Pritchard, looks on calmly - plotting the best direction to take And wins the battle against Team Peaj - so naturally a celebratory jump is bound to happen On top of that part of team Phill Pritchard - Han30 - also then goes onto win Lego Bingo and takes home a royal Lego keyring Han30 with her victory then leads some of the Legoland Adventurers to slay a dragon that had come onto the scene However Jamflakes, Rocket & Phill Pritchard run away scared and decide that the baby dragon is all they can handle. So there we have it - war has come to Legoland but what will Peaj do to get his revenge for his defeat? Has new new relationship on TPM formed? And who exactly is Pedro? If you want to know what happens then there is only one thing for it. You guessed it - come back again this time tomorrow to find our the next chapter in our plot

When we know who's going - I will arrange lifts with people in the background and probably suggest a central point so I'm not driving left right and centre before the 3 hour drive to Cardiff!

Currently I'm easy for all dates - I do not have a preference so hence why I'm leaving it out

Currently I have 2 spaces in my car, potentially more once someone else has confirmed so you can come with me Matt

Welcome back you TPM Explorers and I see you have joined us again for Part 2 of 5 of the Official Legoland Trip Report - Well done! Now you lucky souls, you will get to find out the answers to the questions that were asked at the end of Act 1... Whilst sitting down for lunch, Princess Cornflakes was found destroying a Legoland Map He was then shunted from his throne for his disgraceful behaviour with his faithful sidekick JamesC to live in an underground hole Forced to eat alongside the 'common' folk they welcomed them in by eating some Lego Brick Chips JamesC however does not understand that you eat your lunch - not get eaten for lunch Over lunch Han30 is still trying hard to crack the puzzle of Lego Bingo and slyly looks over Mr. Fish's shoulder for some answers Whilst Han30's mind was trying to solve puzzles - she invented a new hat to solve the puzzle of staying dry on the upcoming Legoland rides Phill Pritchard & Cornflakes spray water around them whilst whizzing around on Squid Surfer After the first wet ride was out the way Darkadder312 and Cornflakes could not resist all the Lego around them and so start to build a tower Before Phill Pritchard, Cornflakes (Again - what a photo hogger ) and rocket get ready to take the plunge on Pirate Falls This chapter ends with Mr. Fish looking adoringly into the water below with Hogger Cornflakes and a very dazed Matt Creek... So there it is Act 2 of the Legoland adventure is complete and you have so far somehow survived But did all our TPM Adventurers survive the dragon? Who wins Lego Bingo? And what started the war between Peaj & Phill Pritchard for the remainder of this journey? If you think you can handle it - come back again tomorrow evening to find out the answers to these mysteries

I would just like to make a point on this trip that if you are interested in coming it would be great to hear from you on this topic. Even though this trip will not be to do with TPM - we will be keeping an eye on this trip as if it is a success we plan to do something like this in the future. So please show your interest and hope to see you on this trip. Ethan if you set a date in August then I'm sure people will respond better for you

After a major delay to this wonderful world of the Legoland adventurers trip to Windsor from work/social/ and more meet reasons. Part 1 of 5 of the Official Legoland report is finally here Thank you all for your patience. So before the day begins for us to enter the world of Legoland we needed to visit Princess Cornflakes in his pink Tower After he approved us Darkadder312 needed a trip to the crazy Legoland Hotel Toilets But before the adventure could properly begin we were stopped at a Line by the orient express Just so we could sit in awe whilst Digger Dug taught us how to operate a digger Princess Cornflakes did not like Fisherman JamesC catching fish Whilst the Legoland adventurers were enjoying the new sights of the updated Fairytale Brook (Marc looks Ecstatic!) And as a result sent Han30 behind the wall of shame for being a smoker And took the hat of JamesC and made Phill Pritchard look even more suave The game of Lego Bingo began which made Rocket scratch his head out of confusion, Han30 think what the hell she is and JamesC sad he lost his hat During this dilema Princess Cornflakes take JamesC up to his 'special' tower So there you go Part 1 of 5 is finally published. But will Princess Maxy keep his crown? What fate is in place for JamesC? and what is Han30's special invention. There is only one way to find out and that is tomorrow night. Right here at TPM.

Please come back again tomorrow to put an end to this saga. Son the final leg has come to us - But what is going to happen in the last chapter now Legoland is about to close . Let's continue with this story to find out what happens... After leaving Legoland we continued our trip to Central London - (It's Christmas already ) However London seems to be currently under a terrorist attack To escape the group took a one way teleport system back to Legoland, to start making their way home but were faced with a problem Maybe delays equalled MAJOR delays and this photo does not give it any justice to what we faced To admire the view and to take it all in Mr. Fish feeling hurt by Han30's rejection turns Han30 into a leaning post Phill Pritchard starts to fall asleep at the wheel due to cars literally moving a few inches every few minutes So the group decide to quit waiting and go back into the park when Han30 decides to cook for everyone The warmth inside - The pizza, The cider everyone starts to relax and enjoys another after meet meal - But this time on park! With Peaj's new found weight loss he struggles to eat the poisoned food Han30 fed him and looks like he is about to collapse. After all this it is time for the one and only Official Legoland 2013 Group Photo - Awww!!! So there we have it - half way through the trip reports for this year. And due to the close proximity of the current meets you get another one starting on Monday . I'd like to thank everyone that came to Legoland - I was actually amazed at the turnout for it, in the past Legoland only used to grab a handful of people and mid way through the day people bugger off to Thorpe Park, but this time everyone stayed together AND stayed at Legoland. The meets have been a great laugh so far this year and It's a pleasure to get them all together for ya's. You'll find all the other photo's on my facebook that has just been uploaded.

After a major delay to this wonderful world of the Legoland adventurers trip to Windsor from work/social/ and more meet reasons. Part 1 of 5 of the Official Legoland report is finally here Thank you all for your patience.

Just please don't faint out of the sheer excitement

I appear to be the only one smiling on Saw - This is a disgrace

And me with my biased views on Saw Josh for me would be the best ERT we could get

It's literally a 10 mins drive away - It's by the shopping centre in staines -upon-thames

Right I've got in your votes and preferences and the winner is Harvester!!! McDonalds was 4 points behind, followed by Nandos by a further 2 points followed last by Pizza Hut & Toby Carvery

Ah crap - I wasn't reading properly - I saw the avatar and immediately thought Ian - my apologies On another note - I have 3 spaces in the car at 9am from Staines station. If you want the car and not the bus please contact me and make sure your there at 9

Frankie & Bennies was left off this time because we ate there last time at Thorpe Park - so it's to spice things up. Crown Carvery you say Ian? I will make sure that is an option next time we have a TP meet after MOS. As I didn't know about it it wasn't an option. The Harvester if it is chosen (which is likely at the moment as it has 6 votes more than all the others which are on equal footing with only a few more people left to vote) Will be the one that is in Staines. If your driving just park up where you would normally for Frankie & Bennies/ Nandos and it is located in the pedestrian road where all the shops are

Do not Fret - Marc is just putting his hopes up for another McDonald - PM is going to all attendees later today and within it there will be a choice - please respond to me once you have been PMd

Plus not every member can handle that amount of cycles on inferno so the peeps who generally want to get every cycle tend to get it

Banned for failing to get into the uni you wanted to go to

Literally just got home after being trapped in Legoland for 3 hours after park close. I've had a fantastic day, nice bunch of people and very happy that a Lego meet has now happened that didn't end up finishing at Thorpe Park half way through the day - whoop!

Banned for thinking your a know it all (his sister bought him another one 2-3 months ago - a green one this time I believe)

Right I've finished my project at work so FINALLY I can give you PART 1 of 5 of the trip report. Kudos To Phill to keep it going whilst I have been busy! There was too much choice regarding photos this time around to narrow it down to 50, which made it very difficult to choose the best one's for the TPM Adventurers story! So I hope we got a few of the best. Sorry for those I may not have included but I have tried my best. So let us begin - what will we find out in the first part of the open meet After Peaj losing his wallet from the last trip - Sidders continues this TPM lost wallet curse - but thankfully for both their belongings were at Guest Services! Whilst Peaders were panicking Mark9 is impressed that Slammer is working despite the cold So Impressed in fact, that Tommy runs around in celebration Unfortunately Sidders they'll be no Nemesis Inferno today EC! gets worried for his safety whilst Ryan feels smug about riding Slammer! To make up for this disappointment - we decide to #BraveItTunnelless And then Ryan ride's Rocky Express whilst it's snowing It was time for Rumba and this motley crew spent ages posing for a photo, when they saw my camera Talk about desperate! We then found out how Thorpe Park get Stealth to work in the freezing cold.....They loosen it up with....WD40 It's time for some Fishy Fun with C1hrisin and Jody Everyone then gathers round at THE SWARM to start SPOONING - You dirty minded individuals, it's a game we played - but you can't drop your spoon! And there we have it Part 1 is before you to enjoy and thank you all for your patience - it's been hectic this week! But what will happen in the future episodes of this Thorpe Park open meet 2013? Who knows, but I do know that some of those spoons will make it to the end, Dan9 comes to join after his awful nightmare and Ryan starts a new career. Read more tomorrow at some time near you Welcome to Part 2 of 5 (Another Part 2 - who have we managed to confuse ) Today is a Saturday in fact in between the Easter extravaganzas so what situations will we find our TPM adventurers in today? A divide in the group has been created - Sidders moans and points his spoon at the group going to the front as it ain't Inferno However us Backster's know we have made the right choice clutching onto our spoons And we were right as we waltzed past the people queuing for the front - they were extremely annoyed Turtle & Tommy #BraveItBackwards and as we went past the fronties Tommy starts getting intimidating Here's a general picture of THE SWARM - Can anyone see the two TPM Adventurers who have been captured? These TPM Adventurers may have got captured by THE SWARM - but they have still managed to keep hold of their spoons! The look so proud On the way back to the main park - Two mischief makers (Tommy & Turtle) do some mad thing to Peaj - I still have no idea what they were playing at Phill Pritchard, Mark9, Peaj & ScaryCoasterBoy have a race down Depth Charge (Glorious Fun ) in a rush to see... Dan9 who is surprisingly cheerful after a nightmare journey This then gets Ryan practising his run for his upcoming audition for the return of Baywatch. But who is Ryan running to save? Who else joins the adventure when these lovely TPMers stuff their face and why does Dan9 become so scared? Your more than welcome to find out tomorrow when some more spooning takes place and you'll see a panasomic photo Toodle Pip! So here we are. A week on from the trip we are now exactly half way through the trip report at Part 3 of 5. (geez that's a bit delayed ain't it ) So what mishaps will we see our TPM Adventurers get up to today? That's bring you back to last time when Ryan was practising his Bay Watch run to go and save someone - but where? Ryan has run to a Tidal Wave as a couple of idiots have put themselves on their in minus degrees The pain in Sidders & Peaj's face Serves them right! Meanwhile Dan9 gets ready to face his fears on Detonator whilst Mark9 & Turtle sort themselves out We make our way to Bar 360 to find Smidget, Iannem & Marc standing around - I wonder if Iannem has an evil plan today I wonder After a long wait, Mark9 & Dan9 are ecstatic to see their food arrive And Ryan then decides to pray to a tomato - hoping he has passed his audition Peaj on the other hand, does no praying and just scoffs the tomato down with his burger and spoon still in hand After lunch, Peaj, TopsyTurvy15, EC!, Maximillion & Sidders decide to spoon on Quantum to ensure their food settles down perfectly For some more Stomach food settling fun - we all then have a nice ride on Mr Monkey's Banana Boat Ride Mark9 looks unsure about this.... Everyone has loads of fun - so there's only one thing for it - PANORAMIC SHOT - Love this pic So you have survived Part 3 of 5 of the Peajinators trip report. But what will you find in store in the penultimate episode. Well one thing I can tell you is that Iannem is successful in carrying out another one of his evil plans. Maximillion becomes a hugging virus and there is lots of drama happening down the rapids in the village of rumba So please join me next time at don't know'o'clock tomorrow - where you will see the penultimate episode So here we are - back again (quite late on a Sunday evening) for the penultimate episode of the TPM Thorpe Park Open Meet - That is part 4 of 5 you know So we last left you with a lovely PANORAMIC PHOTO (always goes to caps - I have no idea why?) of us on the monkey boat - however it's getting really cold now so I think it's time to take advantage of those free hot drinks they give you after 3pm Dan9 gets very excited for his Hot Chocolate IanNem then thinks of an evil cunning plan whilst preparing his Hot Chocolate And makes Ryan have an accident So Back to Rumba where we find Phill Pritchard calm and composed and the group behind us getting right into the rapids. However the Rapids become to much for Sidders and Maximillion (Now Cornflakes ). So JackStevens217 laughs as Sidders squirm after he is hit However for ScaryCoasterBoy he just loves getting splashed nothing can scare him.... Until the hugging virus of Cornflakes (Maximillion) - He just takes hold and you can't get away JackStevens217 defends for his life - hoping he doesn't follow the sad loss of ScaryCoasterBoy to that contagious virus After the hugging virus (TopsyTurvy15s spoon is still safe - phew) has past it was time for a Detty Marathon - And here are the survivors Ec! Just about So there we have it the penultimate episode and there is still one more to go - you lucky peeps But how much more Spinning can we take? Do we come across the mad hatter from wonderland? Who will win the Spooning competition? Find out tomorrow lunch time (I hope) where you will find the final part of the trip report along with the OFFICIAL GROUP PHOTO!!! Everybody Cheer WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (O.K. I've just run out of breath) So here it is the final part 5 of 5 is here below ready to be seen. We have finally got there over a week on. So after the Detty Marathon what will be finally revealed in the last leg of our journey... To celebrate the detty achievement and now the hugging virus has infected us all - It was time for a spinning version of THE HUG To keep ourselves spinning we clumsily walked over to the storm in the teacup, where Top Trumps were played Which was watched over by a different perspective by the Mad Hatter herself Han30 (who don't like spinning - Mad I tell you ) To continue more spinning we stumbled our way to Zodiac - just so we can lock JackStevens217 up However after all this the cold took as over and turned us to Beetroot So it was sadly time to go inside. OOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGG everyone has been taken over by some unseen force TopsyTurvy15 still has his spoon you know In fact I believe he is the last one standing! TopsyTurvy15 therefore wins the Easter Egg - Give us a jump for joy TopsyTurvy15 MattyMoo is very pleased for the champion of spooning 2013 And to sum our adventure up - Here is the OFFICIAL GROUP PHOTO for the Open Meet at Thorpe 2013 . Everyone go Awwwwww.... Thanks everyone for a fantastic day - And it was great for such a large group (especially of recent times) to stick together. I really liked meeting the new faces as it was good to see some different dynamics and It was also great to catch up with some of you regulars. It really makes me happy to be part of it all . So Next trip is Chessington and I hope to see a lot of you there again as it'll be a great fun day out, plus we can try out the new Zufari: Ride Into Africa. It'll also be good to see some new faces also and if you just have a hint at wanting to go - I highly recommend them as your guarenteed to not be disapointed with the great bunch of people we have at the moment.

Righty Ho - It's finally time for me to get on with Part 1 of 5 of the Swarm ERT Photo Event Report. Sorry on the delay - will post one everyday until Saturday which will conclude with the official group photo for this meet So on our 3rd adventure of the year - what situations will we find our TPM members in this time? On arrival to the park Sidders became so overjoyed he bounced around like a kid The morning crew of Sidders, Husky, MattoMoo, Mer, Han30 & Mr. Fish say hello before their first ride of the day However Exciteable Sidders cannot wait any longer so rushes to the test seat hoping for it to calm him down When the rest of the morning crew are seen in the distance coming to join us everyone jumps for joy Did I mention this is Han30's first time at Thorpe Park in 11 years . The nerves kick in so Husky drags Han30 into the volcanoe... Finally Sidders along with Peaj get to the front seat of Inferno - Sidders can finally calm down now However disaster struck and the volcano erupted....Hailstones..... Which of course stops when the ride finished! Dara & Peaj come off in pain & very soggy Han30 got on! Her first ever major coaster. Han is joined by Husky & Mr Fish with some random dude who thought he'd try and hog the spot light By the time we got to Colossus - Han30 was an expert to all this coaster riding and just started chilling like a hippie whilst riding Peaj is there too! Sadly for the childly Sidders - He throws a tantrum as he is no longer on his inferno Pluk is like WTF as MattyMoo looks at a handbag in the queueline! And there we leave it - Sidders in a strop. Will he come out of his strop? Will MattyMoo obtain a handbag fetish? And will Pluk cause a fight? All will be seen in the future episodes of the SWARM ERT PHOTOSHOOT EVENT! Welcome to Part 2 of 5 of the Swarm ERT Event (You lucky people ) Last night we left you with Sidders throwing a tantrum. MattoMoo went bag hunting, therefore got on Detty after the rest . Everybody sing it now - 'All by myseellf, Don't wanna be...' Whilst waiting Han30 & Mer had a pouting contest by Tidal Wave The contest/ games continued as we ventured to Saw: The Ride where Peaj picked up the ladies Meanwhile, Rumba was playing a more evil game than Saw ever could and kept picking on Tommy to soak him Sidders is not impressed with Tommy screaming and MattyMoo protects his bag at all costs Captain Pluk leads the boat behind, with Mer, Husky & Mr Fish. As you can see Mr Fish does good sailor boy faces After our soaking it was time for some great food in Bar 360 and we welcome Dodge to the party After Lunch it was time for Depth Charge. The child in Sidders came back out but Pluk shows him how to do it and wins What's happened to Mer's Face! I always thought she wasn't human... Watch out Ladies - Mr Fish is in town and he knows how to use that eyebrow So there we have it - racing down Depth Charge on our way to meet up with the afternoon people. The morning crew is about to expand, but who will they come across? I hear some mischief makers are making their way onto the scene - some Guildford antics make a return and MattyMoo comes face to face with his dreams There is only one way to find out the happenings of these TPM legends and that is to tune in somepoint tomorrow. What time I hear you ask? Well your gonna just have to keep checking Welcome to the middle of our story - Part 3 of 5 In fact! We left you with the flirty Mr. Fish before we went to join some more people into our fold And Mr Fish Flirting works as Phill Pritchard, Michelle & StevenVig are attracted to his flirtatious powers ready to have a midday group photo. Oh no! Peaj is replicating what he did in Guildford and starts dancing again with Mer as long as he doesn't do the point it'll be ok.... Ah Geez - Peaj has done the 'point.' - The world is doomed Mer seems joyous though... After a long time apart - there is a HUGE EMOTIONAL BIG REUNION between Tommy & Ellie - It's so sweet StevenVig is like Well Jel.... Afterwards it's off to #BraveItTunnelless, Michelle & Peaj are excited & Sidders is stilling throwing a strop he is not on Nemesis Inferno anymore In the boat behind - which looks a bit of a squeeze is Phill Pritchard, MattyMoo (Wearing his bag proudly ), Dodge & Captain Pluk. Whilst Everyone was on Loggers StevenVig, Tommy & Ellie squirt everyone in the boats No wonder they look sheepish - And yes Ellie you hide in shame! After those antics it is time to head to the Swarm photoshoot - Han30 gives us an evil glare as we drag her towards it Peaj holding onto a whistle all day, waiting for the perfect time to use it - Grabs his chance and blows away let people know we're here MattyMoo also grabs his chance by helping Peaj get everybody's bags together ready to ride the Swarm. He has finally obtained his dream So there we have it - the happenings of the trip before the Swarm Photoshoot where a lot of people's mini stories for this chapter come to an end. However loads of new faces come to the picture. Captain Pluk becomes theatened when someone tries to take away his captainhood & loads of people may soon end up in the gutters as they struggle to stand after being kidnapped by THE SWARM and being drenched like a drowned rat. To know what the hell I am on about you will have to tune in approximately same time tomorrow to see the events leading up to the photoshoot! Right, it's time to make way for Part 4 of 5 of the trip report - The penultimate episode - The episode where you will see a lot of standing around waiting for the rides to take shape.... I thought I'd start off with a Panoramic view of some people around the Swarm area awaiting the whole group to arrive from KFC We are soon joined by Jackstevens217, Jody, C1hrisn whilst TobyNBZ wonders what the hell he is doing there So the general public leave the area, without wondering why we were staying put - A very social moment in the shop occurred - It's never been so busy We are then finally summoned to the station where we get prepared to #BraveItCold Michelle can't bare to be on the opposite end of station, with no chance to escape from Childish Sidders throwing another tantrum as we ain't on Inferno Captain Pluk becomes theatened with a new rival trying to take his place on Row 7 and starts a fight - His deputy browneggsandham steps into help Mark9 retaliates and wins the fight - helping the damsel in distress of Husky to the back row of 7 and thereafter becomes Captain Mark9 During this drama Michelle takes comfort by making love to an alien known as THE SWARM The cold and the rain have taken hold of everyone and C1hrisin, Jackstevens217 & Jody become drowned rats But no rain or cold can stop Dodge & IanNem as they Reach For The Stars, enjoying the wonderful cheesy music that has been playing in the station And there we have it the penultimate episode - Next to come on the finale of the TPM Explorers, Action Shots of THE SWARM experience. Captain Mark9 gets lost and the aftermath of the Official Group Photo of the meet that everybody has been waiting for! You don't want to miss it - so tune in tomorrow at time'o'clock to catch this breath taking conclusion Welcome to the final part 5 of 5 of the Swarm Photo Shoot ERT Event. We left you last time with Dodge & IanNem reaching to the stars/ Praying to the Lord for the Swarm Event to start.... Mr Fish & Smidget having the privilege of front row show off their acting talents on THE SWARM Captain Mark9 gets Smidget & Marc lost by taking them on the wrong ride - You know we ain't meant to be on Stealth right now right? Phew at least Marc has found THE SWARM again, however is about to puke all over Gary After our 9 rounds of THE SWARM here is a picture of a few people putting on a brave face with the cold - Browneggsandham though is a pro at this Whilst everyone just cannot wait to get back into their car - Dodge is still reaching out for the Lord Everyone was able to get all their bags back off MattyMoo before we all said our goodbyes So after seeing us all cold and wet it's about time to show you the 3 pictures that TPM star in within the press release - Picture 1 a billboard Picture 2....A Helicopter Picture 3...A billboard (hang on a bit of de ja vu me thinks ) And time for the photo I know that LOADS of people have been waiting for as many people have kept asking for it - The Official TPM Group Photo Thank you for everyone for such a fantastic day - Everyone stayed together during the day (Which is a first in a long time at Thorpe Park I believe) and their were many laughs to be had. Sorry I disappeared for a couple of hours during the afternoon when I know a lot of you turned up but I has lost wallet issues and needed to sort out how I was going to be able to live at the weekend going straight up To Alton Towers after the event and getting into the park etc but good news came to me on the Monday when the wallet was handed in (which I will collect tomorrow ) So yes thanks for waiting that extra day as well for me to get the report up and anyone else feel free to post your reports of the day and any pictures to this topic - All photos and one's that have not been included within the trip report you will find on my facebook page latest Monday morning. So I look forward to seeing everyone on the next meet next month, what really that soon TOMORROW!!! In the blistering cold

Legoland Tomorrow! For those attending please check your PM's for rules on Lego Bingo before we meet so it runs without a hiccup

The time has come Part 1 of 5 of the Photo Story Trip report is about to be released. What will become of the TPMers this time round and who will win the bowling? All will be revealed over the next 5 days... After our initial introductions, it was most appropiate to get some of us in a cheesy mosaic 'hello' photo... So now that's done it's time to get ready to go onto the ice - From left to right: Dan9, Husky, Tommy, Iannem & Smidget Very Cautious first steps out onto the ice - Quite a few newbies to the ice... Peaj is very cautious - you can see him so hard trying to balance Han30 is being cautious too, after all the worry of falling on the ice is quite high Oh No Han30 cannot stop, so there is a horrifying crash, and Boris tries to save her but there is glass in the way Tommy however has got the hang of it! Look at him in the centre of the ice Sheepie starts turning evil and wants to see more crashes so decides to scare as many people as possible by hiding Husky becomes his first victim and gives a gigantic scream Husky gets very angry and Iannem comes to save the day and calm her down from the shock surprise Iannem may seem nice at the moment but some say he has joined forces with Sheepie in an evil plan - Find out tomorrow in Part 2 to find out what he has done.... Welcome to Part 2 of 5 of the Guildford TPM Storyline. We last left you with a hint that Iannem has something up his sleeve... Well Iannem tries to take his first victim by helping husky across the ice - (Iannem is a pro you see ) However Husky could easily resist his Ice powers and safely made it to a mini group photo on the ice Peaj see's the evil within Iannem and tries to skate away as fast as he can, only problem is he cannot balance at all... Tommy feels sorrow & worry for Peaj, but he better watch out as we find Dan9 who appears to of been #getcorrected Iannem has found a willing victim and Smidget seem like she has been taken over by his alluring trance What is Iannem doing to Smidget, somebody please help her Sadly Smidget falls prey to Iannem and keels over and #getcorrected - Iannem is joyous knowing he now has another servant Mer is horrified as she realises Iannem is actually an employee of the Ministry of Joy Meanwhile, whilst Husky, Sidders & Boris get used to the news of what's happened. Han30 hopes they don't realise she let one loose Sheepie is drawn to the smell and gives Han30 a big bear hug, who worries what a freak he has become being drawn to smells Join us tomorrow when we leave the ice and make our way to some glourious food and one member finds it difficult to cope with what has happened... Welcome to Part 3 of 5 of the Guildford Trip Report. Yesterday we saw the last bit of Ice but where do the TPM adventurers end up next? After finding out Iannem works for the ministry of joy. Jaymie ends up turning to drink... Meanwhile Husky enjoys a soft drink whilst Mer finds her pizza way too hot Whilst Mer is still trying to eat the hot pizza, Sheepie is loving it - Jaymie however needs to sort out his drinking problem Some of the others went to Wimpy and hey look! now they've joined us back Oh yeah did I forget to mention (as I did on the day ) that Mer is celebrating hee birthday - 23 you know... Iannem has done some of his nasty work again and it looks like Peaj has become a victim #getcorrected Before the bowling started - it was an appropiate moment for another group Photo The bowling has begun and Tommy is ready to get his swing into action Dan9 is the first to gain a strike and is like 'what you looking at, I do this all the time.' It also means Iannem's hold on him is over Soon after Peaj also gains a strike, so Dan9 and Peaj set up the exclusive 'STRIKE CLUB' So the bowling has begun, who will join Dan9 & Peaj in the exclusive 'STRIKE CLUB' and will anybody be too good for that exclusive club and set up on their own. There's only one way to find out and that's back here on this topic at some point tomorrow... Welcome to Part 4 of 5 of the Guildford Adventure. In the last episode we saw Dan9 and Peaj set up and exclusive 'STRIKE CLUB' will anybody else join? OMG Is that Marc, the owner of TPM, the guy that got skinned in the last trip report for not showing up. Well better late than never I suppose Sidders is getting himself syked up to become an exclusive STRIKE member - will he do it? On the other lanes everybody else is just chilling - it's not the end of the world if you don't get in after all (so they say.... ) Husky stop hogging the photo! Han30 gets ready for action. Just look at that girl go - she has a right swing on her Meanwhile Sidders scores a strike! Peaj and Dan9 are shocked and disapointed that we won't be the only exclusives after all that time Sheepie not wanting to feel left out tries his best to get in the exclusive 'STRIKE CLUB' And Sheepie STRIKES and joins the club. He is so shocked and overwhelmed by it all - It just bring a tear to my eye - Well done Sheepie! Boris all of a sudden gets two strikes in just a few frames. All of us want her bowling power so tried to draw it from her Sidders however has a cunning plan... Oh no! ANOTHER MERLIN BREAKDOWN!!! Seriously some needs to sort this stuff out Sidders succeeds with his cunning plan and starts the 'Legendary Turkey Club' of which he is the only member. Anyone else notice his poses are all the same And there you have it the penultimate episode of the Guildford Adventures. Please come back tomorrow for our Conclusion where you will see all the members of the exclusive 'STRIKE CLUB,' some dancing.

Hello all, here is my picture story of what happened on the lovely day in London - It was a briliant day and here it is in pictures Part 1 of 5 At the beginning of the day, the group has these wonderful glasses on ready for the London Eye Experience (Talk about first impressions) As the experience with the seagulls has finished Mark9 looks like he has some serious doubts coming onto the London eye! Dan9 thought it would be a good idea to scare Turtle. Because of this Mer thought she would plot her own evil masterplan... And some lovely chatting followed After the chat Luke_A became thoughtful and reflected on what was said Here is a random view from the top of the eye After the eye we thought let's go Sealife. Naturally Tommy sprawled himself over the floor to look like he was floating Here is a Jellyfish And to finish Part 1 I thought I'd pop into a photo with everyone with some fishes in the background Part 2 will most likely be up on my lunchbreak tomorrow Hey all because of the great help received to me in getting the pictures up properly, I thought tonight I'd give you Part 2 of 5 of the London trip (and basically so I can catch up and be on track once more) You may remember we left the story with a few of us smiling in front of fishes - well the story continues.... Into the depths of SeaLife, Tommy (a bit nervous on the wheel) and Mark9 (with glee) found a motorcycle to help us through our journey After the motorcycle lift we found a Blue light which hypnotized everyone with its spinning spiralling coins... But not Luke_A...He escape the evil claws of the blue light and laughed at us in a trance Good thing though Luke_A was on the board so we could warn us about the CROCODILE!!!! However we escaped with our life as it was no match when faced with the Wall Of Ice. Penguin! After SeaLife we decided it was time to go to Madame Tussauds - however on the way to the tube New Years Eve happened all over again... On the tube Mark9 has some crazy urges for the Spirit of London which leaves Mer scared However no need to fear - Mark9 is only a Light Flyweight (however the scales were broken that day so who knows) To finish Part 2, I thought it was fitting to show how much love Mer & Luke_A have for Boris Johnson! Hope you enjoyed Part 2 & Part 3 will be released tomorrow to find out the next chapter of what happened on the TPM London Meet It's the Wednesday after the meet - which means part 3 is here. We left part 2 showing the amount of love for Boris Johnson, let's continue our journey through Madame Tussauds... Myself & Mer always have trouble deciding between good and evil, so spent a bit of time speculating Meanwhile Tommy was playing a game showing off his reflexes - How triumphant he looks However after all this, Myself & Mer finished speculating and kidnapped everyone into the taxi! You may be surprised with the kidnap but it was all predicted in the stars However detective Luke, was on our case and managed to save the day and got photographic evidence of the kidnap Who just so happened to work for Nelson who oversaw the whole investigation This resulted in the rest of TPMs freedom and they were left to enjoy the Spirit Of London After the kidnap, the boys play with their toys, to recover and have lots of fun! After he had finished the investigation, Luke_A did too This left Mer extremely unimpressed Join me tomorrow, when the adventure continues after Madame Tussauds and some more people come to play! A bit delayed today I'm afraid as I've been sorting out Carpet Laying & Wall Building at work! However welcome to the penultimate post for the TPM London Meet. What will our TPM adventurers face today, especially as we last left it with a very disappointed Mer! Why Nando's of course! And this being the first photo where the entire group (at that point) were all seen together After the gorgeous Nando's meal, we made our way to the London Dungeons - But Mer was still hungry However she then choked and went into one of her giggle fits whilst thinking about onion rings... Everyone was really excited for the dungeons and will most likely be the last time in it's old location for most. Don't Fret Tommy & Dan9 How of course - sadly no photo's can be taken in the dungeons as it's mysterious! But we do however have one 'sinister' photo After the dungeons we made our way to Winter Wonderland and Luke_A & Mer LOVE this queueline for teh Wild Maus OMG Look who's arrived it's Pluk! Steady boy you don't want to fall now... Boy George even Jaymie has appeared in this queueline - where's the mouse hole Due to all the excitement of these new arrivals it sends Tommy all in a spin! However too much spinning can make you sick you know There it is, a delayed rushed job of Part 4 but still with it's quirkyness - Join me tomorrow when the final part of our story is released and the Official Group Photo will be there for all to see Hello and welcome back to the conclusion of our story - and also to my first ever double post Who will we meet in the final chapter of the TPM London Meet? Before we continue, Jaymie, Myself & Mer would like to raise a glass to all the fantastic people who came & for also sticking together for the WHOLE day Look who it is - It's Mia-Louise - So that's where she has been hiding Mer, Myself & Mark9 naturally break out into a celebratory dance to mark the occasion Mia-Louise always one to quickly aquaint herself starts wrapping her legs around Tommy I am completely terrified to witness this and wonder who's next... To calm myself down, I moved everyone onto Winter Wonderlands very own Tower Of Terror Mer9, Pluk & Luke_A even thought it was better than the real version! After the 'Tower of Terror' we needed to calm down so back to the waltzer & carousel bar for what is my favourite photo of the whole meet You may have noticed Marc didn't turn up so before we departed we hunted him down and gave him what he deserved Detective Luke_A couldn't stop us! And finally the photo where every single person who attended appears in so your Official Group Photo is I can't thank the people who attended enough for sticking together and I for one thouroughly enjoyed myself and really cannot wait for Guildford now to collect even more memories. For those who have not yet come to a meet, I hope these past photo's have shown a little insight into what we get up to. If you want to see a few more photos you will see them on my Facebook page and I see a lot of tagging has already been going on - at least that's one less job to do Now for quite a few of you - I will see you next month!
