Now you've said about it, you may as well post it on here. :)I found a ton of old photos and ORPs recently. Gawd, some of the Depth Charge ones are terrible.

I think there would only be 1 exam left after that date, so all year 11's would not be at school. And, if schools have sense, they'd be going on school trips before July as well. I know quite a lot of schools that do so.

I can do next Friday. :DIf you PM / e-mail me any more details whenever, like number of photos and how long the biography has to be etc., that'd be good. I would say MSN, but I'm about to do some revision. :/

I took the plunge, and I floated. That's good enough.

When'd you need it by? I'd be willing to help out, but could only do it this weekend, and that's pushing it. If not, I'd do it by the end of next week.

Double post, but meh.I took the plunge and all that, and will find out tomorrow if I sink or swim.

Yeah, sorry, I re-read it and it was really rather cryptic. But as said, I think it's easier to make a fairer decision without knowing the ins and outs, but much rather the basics. The reason why I have no idea is cause I keep changed my mind cause I know the details, and I know that if I shard the details, most people would probably do the same. I hope that makes a little more sense. And thanks Ryan for your opinion.

Right, okay, I need your help. The less you know about the situation I'm in, the better really. It is cryptic slightly I know, but just from the following description, could you help me out please?Do I take the plunge and do what I’ve always wanted to do, even though it is in a twitish manner and may not even work out and cause some problems, or do I take the easy route and crawl back to the start, which would make my life easier, but also lead to some other problems?Ta, Josh

I can see queues for the main coasters getting to an hour or above. Flats easily reach 30 minutes. 99% of exams are finished and many schools are going to have trips there. Along with that, better weather means more people pulling a sickie from work, and even school.

Off to Thorpe tomorrow.

The competition is open to EVERYONE.By everyone, it can mean any age, any act of any number. By everyone, they can be professionals or can be doing it for the very first time at their audition. Basically, it means you could have David Beckham (sorry, couldn't think of anyone off the top of my head ) on there doing football skills. It would just be a question of if he got through. Quite a few acts have had some previous experiences with fame, even if it is being backing singers - though not some much in this one. The Dance Flavourz group are huge in Portugal, especially the main man. So yeah, maybe slightly advantage, but all is fair to an extent.

A better question I've recently I asked myself is if I actually have any close mates. The ones who I would call my closest, though, do have dates or plans. And I feel sorry for your situation, can't really give any advice though. Sorry! So true!

Twist and Pulse are very good. Though I would say Burling deserves it more.I love Spelbound as well, but I can't say they should win. I would say they're the best and they have got the best talent, but they've got a much bigger stage (such as competitions) to be on. T&P have as well. That's why I say Burling to win, but I'd be happy with the other 2. Also, the drummer (forgotten his name for the life of me) would be rather deserving.

Trouble is, when I asked my friends, it kinda just went a bit hay-wire, everything spiralled a bit out of control and caused a mini row, as some had started to make plans, some hadn't, so basically, ends up I can't go with them. It's a tad understandable, but still a awkward. Thanks for the advice though. ;)Now for another rant, coming off from this...Basically, on tumblr, I've said the exact same thing that I said on here - considering not going to prom. Now, the majority of my followers (about 10 of them ) aren't people who I know very well or at, about 3 are people from school. As said above, apparently it's not one girl's fault that I'm not going to the prom with them, and is mine, and that they're not in the mood to argue or anything (according to Facebook, she's revising..). And then it goes even more into how I'm being attention seeking for being in a bad mood and so on. I'm not going to so I'm not being bit out of order, to an extent, I'm being rather rude. But when I'm getting attacked, and in a bad mood, I see it as bound to happen. Then it comes to how I wouldn't know what friends are for and how I have none. And how I'm leaving a sad, reclusive life of studying and going to theme parks. That's really peed me off - I can choose how I live my life. Now she's said that we'll have a chat tomorrow, once we've both calmed down. Yeah, that will be interesting.So yeah, not a happy bunny. :@

Hmm, considering not bothering going to my school Prom now. Basically, no one wants to go with me. Bad enough that I lack self confidence, even worse that I've been rejected 3, maybe even 4, times already. Even even worse is that one of those times, they said yes, then a couple of months later, said they were going with someone else! And apparently that's my fault somehow (well, okay, no their's - so it must be mine!). So yeah, that's bad. It even feels like no one wants me there. Apparently it won't be the same without me. What? Not having someone to laugh at? Not having that random floater there? Yeah, I'm sure I'll truly make a good difference. I will admit I've left it rather late to try and get something sorted out. But after all the knock backs, who can really blame me?I don't really fit in anywhere, with any of the little groups. Half of the people there don't even really care about me and just seem to blank. The other half seem to get sick of me and just make up excuses as to why they can't speak to me. Most of my MSN conversations with them end with them saying 'brb' and that back never comes. And I can just seeing this being the exact thing in college as well...It's annoying on focusing more on this rather than my exams. Oh dear.Bad times really (N)

There was nothing wrong with tonight's episode really. However, I just didn't like it. Seemed a little too chessey and soppy to be an ordinary Doctor Who episode. Seemed more like a companion was leaving, not just a one-off character. Maybe that was the aim, but I didn't like the idea of it. Next week's episode looks promising..

I disagree completely. Those 2 work well with modern and old music yes, but I think it suits the area much better with the older music, or else all the work that went into theming (especially Tidal) would be wasted. The Lost City flats should have normal music, if any.

Hmm. All the advertising does show the new Chessie logo as Peter says, so maybe it's being lowly introduced for next season (or the season after). After all, the 'new' logo is just a bit bolder than the old one (and has the '& Zoo' bit gone as well?) so it won't be too much of a hassle really. As for the name, I prefer WoA. Sounds so much better and interesting, and 'Adventures' follows the small rebrand (such as Adventurers' Service, etc.).

I agree with you to an extent. The themed music is slightly out of place and more modern music suits the target market and that. However, the park class themselves as an 'Experience Park', not an 'Amusement park', nor a 'Theme park'. Of course, it will never really change what the public says, but ah well. Therefore, I think that have the themed audio would work much better than modern music. It is still one thing the park are getting just about right, and they always have. Why fix something when it's not yet broken?

Ahem. Half 3 actually. I do love it when operators do that. Many people turn away from the queues, making them even shorter for me. Oh, I love being a fanboy!

Well, here's my TR for yesterday.To answer your question peep - yes, it was busy. ;)Got to the park at about quarter to 10 and arrived at Explorer Gate. Meant I got to hang around Wild Asia entrance. At 10, got in, and had the fiasco of Kobra. Can't even be bothered to summarize it. Anyways, after that, went to AS and got my nan's disabled pass. We decided not to complain about Kobra and just move on. Ended up queuing very quickly for Rattlesnake (my nan hates the ride so she didn't go on it) and got the ORPs.Used the wristband to get on Tomb Blaster. Nearly beat my mum for the first time, but lost by 4000 points. Unimpressed. :nunu This was followed by Rameses Revenge then lunch at the Fish & Chips by Vampire. After lunch, had a good wander round the zoo and taking quite a few photos...Now here comes Wanjama Village and Reserve pics...Then headed over to Lorikeet Lagoon. Most of the pics were pretty poor from me. However, they have someone taking 'ORP' photos that you can buy from the Wild Asia shop. I asked if I could use my USB Wristband I bought (which allows unlimited ORPs at Chessie this half term - hence why there was so many!) and was told yes. Go to the shop, "Oh, we haven't got a USB Port as this is only a trial run." That annoyed us, so we headed over to AS and complained. We also brought up the Kobra incident as well as an unsafe part of pavement for wheelchairs by Explorer Gate. After the latter two were noted, we headed over to the main Picsolve part of the park with a member of staff (who was extremely helpful and friendly) and saw if the issue could be resolved. After the Picsolve lady goes over to Wild Asia, it turns out they actually have a USB Port! However, as they had to use an on screen mouse and keyboard, it took a while to get them on. After this, it was 4 o'clock and unfortunately I had to leave. Was a great day, just a shame about some niggles.

Same. Welcome.

Rolling ball wasn't working yesterday! ;)There seemed to be some new light effects addedsincemy previous visit too. :SAlso, quite a bit of the ceiling and other parts were visible today; perhaps some changes are in store?

Oh Benin, I'm not questioning that it's not powder and was salt, I'm just saying that on the pot it said salt - which I thought was strange. . The sick was on the right hand side (as looking from the boarding platform) if the car, half way between the car and the centre piece themed part.And Marc, we did mention it to GS (or AS as it's known ), but later on in the day following another incident, which I'll post in a TR tomorrow.

Cheers for that peep, does make more sense now.Only thing is, the 'salt' thing was in a pot that had 'salt' written on it. . Though what you say makes sense as to why the bloke cleaning up was wearing a face mask.
