Agreed there, have all the major consoles except from a DS and the 360 wins hands down. Only flaw being that the original arcade consoles where a major liability and always broke. I got a new cheap 360 for £160 lately and am very impressed. It is alot quieter and seems to behave, only issue at the moment is the WiFi, hopefully this is just my wireless playing up and not the console. Bearing in mind I have about 10 devices connecting to my router, I am doubtful for it to be the latter. I always preffered the playstation until releases of Fifa (I started playing in 07) , COD Modern Warfare and Gears Of War. I now only actually own one game, which is Fifa, so people may render my opinion useless.

However, the rides Control Panel will indicate if any restraints are not locked. (I believe, don't ridicule me if wrong as I never operated) This is why a very high percentage of rides are not allowed to be run in any sort of Manual mode within Merlin parks. Exceptions would be smaller rides where restraint failure would have little or no impact on the safety of the rider. It is possible , but checking the restraints make very little difference. If the restraint fails , it could happen at any point during the ride. If the restraint fails in the station, again, the control panel would alert the operator. With everything , there is a chance that it might not alert, if both the restraint fails AND the control panel fails... But then, pigs may also learn to fly one day. Well, yeah , anybody who doesn't keep their seatbelt on is an idiot. I used to do the 3 click challenge, not the smartest thing aggree there. Let me some this up ... the chance of me having a car crash on my way home tonight is highly more likely than anybody in the world dying in a restraint failure this year. But when I get in the car, I won't double check my seat belt (even though it is so much less safe than any restraint failure happening.It can happen.. but it rarely does. I cannot think of a situation that a restraint failed , but had it of been checked before dispatch, it would have saved someones life. If you can find an incident, please link me as I may very well be in-informed. I don't really follow the theme park industry anymore.

Playing that small team from down the road tonight. It's their cup final bless them. Even then, still haven't sold all of their 6,000 allocation tonight. Could be a good laugh - Finish work- Grab a couple cans from the shop- Head to the pub for a sing- Head to the groundGotta love football, any excuse!

Really out of ideas with this one, keep the same theme (as in, bubbleworks) but replace a hell of alot of the theming (pretty much all of it). The thing is ancient now, but it is so popular that I can't see the benefits of a brand spanking new ride. Not sure what else you could put into that bulding aswell.

Rather controversial comment from me at 2am. Lets have a look around the forum and see if I've offended anybody.
Thanks for the Pics Mark absolutely Brilliant
Life is majorly boring , god knows how my parents have been doing the same thing for so longMonday - WorkTuesday - WorkWednesday - WorkThursday - WorkFriday - Work / PubSaturday - Pub Sunday - Nothing Every week, same thing and its got absolutely boring now.
When you ask someone for a lighter and they give you their ciggarette.
Safe start to the season for Chelsea, some simple games with the expected outcomes. Bit of a shame that our good run is being completely outshadowed by some good performances from the two Manchester sides. Didn't manage to get up to Sunderland due to my Grandad coming back from Thailand for his yearly visit. Stoke was a good day out, shame about the poor game but Torres had a good one. Norwich at home was a good laugh aswell, our pub shut down so we're all drinking somewhere else now, bit of a shame but hey ho! Really looking forward to Sunday, must admit that I'm a bit worried about the result, absolutely hate old trafford aswell.Mata will be our most important player this seasonTorres will leave next summer Sturridge will score more than TorresOur manager is absolutely class.Lampard is only off to a slow start , he is not past itOh, and bring on Genk away in the Champions League... Stella Brewery!!!!
Rant time : My rant on life. (Or mine at least)Why does it seem that whenever my life gets back on track, something will always send it into a complete mess. I managed to get myself in thousands of pounds of debt due to football last year. Luckily I managed to get a new job where I could pay it all off every month. My new employer then didnt pay me for the first month, thus making my debts even worse as I defaulted on payments. That mess is (for now) sorted, but a prime example of how stuff goes wrong. Anyway, where I;ve had this debt, I've had to manage my life a bit diferrently and its been amazingly stressful, the stress took its toll on me and I began to miss work / be late etc .. (and I'm going gray LOL) , I spoke with my Client, apologiesed for recent performance and everything seems okay. Today, I had a meeting scheduled for 2 which, for some reason, hadn't appeared in my diary. I managed to miss the meeting and I now seem to be big time, in the bollocks, once again. If I manage to loose this job, I'm pretty sure my life will crumble. I'm owed a good few thousand from them, but I don't think its gonna see me out of this mess! WHYYY!!!! lolAnd dont even get me started on Women.
Sounds like something my parents would've done a while back. Dangerous game for them to play, I ended up just going against everything they said until they chilled out a bit. Just sit them down and have a talk, if they cannot understand then you'll have to get your own car.
