I heard it on Bank Holiday Monday, so..

Yeah. That photo is an understatement.

You know you're a fanperson when:You know more about the rides than the staff do.You have theme park music on your computer / phone / iPod / etc.You sing along / hum along to all the music at parks.

Very bad..

Looks like Cameron will be PM soon...

I see where you're coming from and I completely agree. One was I see the resolve that matter is to have the entire queue outside (like Alive), but then that spoils the idea of it slightly. I personally think a dark ride would be excellent for the park's portfolio. With their constant improvements to effects and theming, the park are beginning to show the effort they can make into an experience. The thing is, I don't want in the MHFS spot. To me, I see that more as an opportunity to have a flat which could use the opportunity to have some interactivity with some of the tree landscaping - it is something that the park also needs.

Basically, it feels strange not saying on a regular basis that rides are down and being unreliable. It was a tongue in cheek comment which failed basically.. XD

I regret to announce that Stealth has broken down. A friend of mine was on park today and it failed to open. Along with this, Saw had many problems, opening after midday and have many breakdowns and Rush closed at about 11 after only operating on 1 swing.I miss posting things like this. Just a shame this isn't true...

If it hadn't of burnt down, it would have been knocked down a couple of years later..MHFS will probably have a flat if I'm honest. Can't see the park wanting to stick a dark ride there..

Mr Brown has resigned as as Labour leader. Well, that has come as bit of a surprise to me - though his reasoning behind it (a hung parliament to cut it short) is fair. I'm surprised he stayed in as long as he did with the media's constant blows..

It's also rare to have an extreme case of neurofibromatosis, but I wouldn't feel lucky to have it.

Who's to say a four leaf clover is lucky?

I feel very sorry for you. Hope there's some way you could enjoy your birthday on another day - even though it doesn't feel the same. Time for another one of my rants now... *Warning - the following rant features quotes from Facebook and a very annoyed writer (aka ME!)* As I've said on this forum a couple of times, I've got an annoying 'cousin' - as in my uncle's fiancée's adopted daughter. After a series of events (check page 54 if you forgot ), I started regarding her as a 'family acquaintance' (which I've always seen as the truth) as opposed to my cousin; which I regarded her as when she first moved to my school. Well, in light of the recent election, many of my statuses on Facebook have been politically based - anyone who has me on FB as probably seen them . On my one on Thursday night regarding the exit poll, a couple of people commented - mainly due to the fact they were shocked by the Lib Dem results. When one said they reflected nothing of the real result, I simply stated how they were from people asked after they voted and gave figures. Well, after that, my 'cousin' feels the need to say ''ooo look evry 1 a big nerd convosation evry 1 put in your ear plugs''. Now, I saw that as unnecessary and pretty childish. It wasn't nerdy, it was giving a damn about this country's politics. However, I let it slide. However, it doesn't end there as yesterday it started up again - mainly about the talks of a Tory-Lib Dem alliance., and after a bit of joking about the Scottish, it ends with ''Sorted''. Well, my 'cousin' feels the need to state "thank god its over jks" this morning. Despite the fact she was on last night, she needed to say it this morning. I then say, rather fairly in my eyes, "If you didn't want to be involved and be notificated, why did you comment?" To which she, rather rudely, replies: "dont no I was borad is that such a crime now well u r a nerd and I never called any 1 a geek I called u a near theres a diffrants if u didnt no and yes I'm a bitch if thats wat your trying to say nicely". Such an over-reaction and incredibly childish. Now, not many people on here know this, but I'm not one to swear. I wouldn't call anyone a b!tch - heck, I don't even say the flipping word! Granted, I think she's annoying and childish, but I don't go as far to call, nor imply, that anyone is a b!tch. She may not have known me for long, but that's one of the first things I'd like to think people would know about me when they get to know me. Anyway, that really started to get on my nerves. If I'm honest, this is some of my rudest comments coming up, and I did have to think for a while before posting these next couple of comments. So, I've replied by saying: "NAME. All I said was if you didn't want to be involved, why did you get yourself involved? You're over-reacting slightly. Perhaps you should grow up a little.." Following this, we get three separate comments from her. Number 1: "dont tell me to grow up dont like u now jks". Number 2: "and u realy need to not take things so seriosly god take a chill pill". Number 3: "it was all a joke un till now coz u r just beeing a meanee jks u can tell I'm jokeing coz I put jks at the end". First comment: Just childish and pathetic to me. Second one: I'm already annoyed and she thinks she can say that to me! I'm an easy going person up for a laugh and a joke. The only things I take seriously are the serious matters - school and exams, politics, and a couple of other things. Even then, I'm up for a laugh and mick-take there. She just flipping annoys me! Last comment. Well, that whole 'jks' thing, I really see it as whenever people say that, there's always an elements of truth in them. When people use smilies is when they are truly joking. Granted, some people don't, but then you can tell. However, she does use smilies for signalling jokes, and so she didn't use them this time, what do you expect me to think. Now, as I said, you won't see me getting much ruder than this, so treasure the moment.. "NAME. Listen to me. You're being very immature and, to be truthful, pathetic. All of this 'jokes' stuff is pretty childish. Moreover, the reason why I'm being serious is because I was trying to discuss a serious issue - the future of this country's politics. As I said, if you didn't want to be involved, don't involve yourself. Now, grow up and stop being immature."So that was that. She didn't respond and I've now defriended her. I honestly do not care any more. She is nothing to me. I now just have to wait for my uncle to flip out at me, my mum and my nan over this - which will be 'explosive' to say the least, considering there's currently a rift between them at the mo...

I won't be entering this Challenge unfortunately. Basically, had so much work to do the past couple of weeks, I'd only be able to whip something up now - and it would be pretty poor.Good luck to everyone!

Oh right, must've missed that then. Apologies.

None of them extended polling hours according to law. Some gave everyone who was queuing a ballot paper - and by law, if you have a ballot paper in your hand at 10pm, you are still allowed to vote. Likewise if you are actually in the polling station 'room' - and some places did ram the 'rooms' / stations / whatever you'd like to call them.Anyways, my local area results:Philip Hammond, Conservative: 26,915 Andrew Falconer, Liberal Democrat: 10,406 Paul Greenwood, Labour: 6,446 In a VERY Conservative area and it's been like that ever since I can remember. Lib Dems went up though. :)Well done to Green Party on getting their first ever seat though!

Shocked by the Exit Poll results to be honest. I hope it is not as accurate as 2005's...

Does anyone know if it is possible to get the Saw plaza / general theme music? Ta

Well, they're not biased towards him for nothing, are they? If proof was needed that Cameron is evil, this is it. As much as I don't want a hung parliament, I don't want Cameron in charge. A Conservative government would be terrible for us. Labour are doing a good job - granted, not the best they could do, but that's beside the point; they're doing well - and they'd be a much better choice.

The one at Toverland opening this summer looks rather awesome. I agree that Back Buccaneer is fine in it's location. In fact, it is a great, air time filled ride, where ever you are! Another lick of paint wouldn't be bad of course..

The left leg problem is probably due to high G-force on a turn where the centre is towards your left, sometimes causing the restraints to tighten and affect the left leg more than the right one. I hope that makes sense..

With Stealth, I came off with a sore shoulder. Dunno how exactly it happened, but it took a few minutes before I felt fine with it.. :/I've never really been affected by the Saw jolt - only once on my second ride. Yesterday, I found it extremely smooth and comfy - one of the comfiest I've ever had actually! Perhaps it is just a bit of luck for me. Saw_gameover stated that there was a pool of blood underneath Jigsaw, which he later said had been changed. Now he seems to be deleting his posts about the matter. If that's what you're talking about, that is.

It seemed exactly the same to me yesterday. And please don't take a picture of it. Not that many people are that fussed, plus, is it worth risking it?Moving on, how can people say Saw isn't smooth!? Being at the front yesterday, it is rather smooth. It was much more comfy than my ride on Stealth. The main drop gave no head bang whatsoever! Maybe I was just very lucky?Also, I forgot just how fun the indoor drop was!
