  1. I understand that, but anyone who does have it annoy them needs to get a life. Sorry, but that is the truth.A top trumps playing card shows a ride to be 50cm smaller than it really is. It should not annoy people. They may have simple 'Rounded Down' the number to make it more tidy?
  2. Tragic. Absolutely tragic.

    So bored... work again until 8-9ish ..Then a well deserved drink up in the west end I think!
  4. I studied in College and I am one of the people who just found it wasn't for me. I slogged out some really boring jobs to get the money to pay for rent etc. But it was always better than college. And there was of course, and still is the choice to go back to study later on in life if I feel that is something I wish to do. I don't see the point in further education unless you are certain on what you would like to do, and you know that it needs a degree or the relevant qualifications (ie, doctor).

    Reminds me of when I read the daily mail once...

    I fell asleep in a couple of my exams including maths. Teachers used to enter me for the higher teir papers when it was obvious I couldn't pass them. Maths was a disaster.
  7. So, just wondered what you guys think.Do you reckon it is best to not go into further education and go straight into work. Or do you feel that studying gives you a better option for the future.With rising tuition fee's etc. it's an interesting topic.I understand that obviously it depends on what you would like to do (jobwise) but yeah, general answers.

    The amount of stuff the operators must see on the CCTV during this ride must be amazing!

    Have been offered another new job (just part time) now. Taking my total to 10!Am currently negotiating for 2 contracts. One for two months in London and the other for 6 months in Bath! (both self employed, 5 times what I'm on now)Wish me luck.

    Not a great idea to be honest. Due to the throughput of the ride I could imagine that this highly increases the likelyhood of thefts that would occur from a storage box at the ride. Also, where would it go? If it was placed on the on-load platform it would be difficult to get your bags after the ride, and vice-versa. Can always use the Lockers.

    He's played 130 minutes of football for a new team who are trying to adjust to a new system.We've had a poor season, Torres is not at Fault.Why aren't you going on about Andy Carrol not scoring yet? Not at all... before he has been on a better game to goal ratio than Rooney.Torres 23 League games9 GoalsRooney17 League games5 GoalsThose stats mean that anyone who tries to play the "He's injury prone" card can shove it.And anybody who says he's a poor player can shove it too.And yes .. he will be worth £50m EASILY. If he scores goals that secure us a champions league place, that already pays for a majority of his transfer fee.Seriously, some people are so deluded and don't think at all (Mainly scousers and the media) it pisses me off. Can't read anything positive about my team. We're just hated.1) Torres Isn't ****2) How can you judge a player after 120 mins of football3) Where were you when berbatov played **** for 2 years4) why does nobody else think £35m for carrol is worse than 50m for torres5) Even if he is **** and a waste of money, at least we can afford it.Torres didn't score yesterday because the small team down the road completely shut us off from making any clear chances. Don't get me wrong, Torres had a nightmare yesterday. But no worse to what Rooney has been like for a majority of the season .Anyway, did anyone hear out lovely vocal support at the cottage yesterday? 'twas a good evening.
  13. Have a feeling Thorpe Park's staff will be brilliant as always this season!

    Atmnosphere around the bridge yesterday was just all very strange, big shame about the result. Majorly dissapointed. Also, you don't judge a £50m signing on his first 60 minutes playing. Even though most of the papers seem to think you can.

    You know something I'm shocked about.. I actually have a 0% warn level! Considering I attempted to destroy this place a few times , thats not bad going. Congratulations me.
  17. NickD replied to Sheepie's topic in UK Attractions
    WHAY, did you see what I did there!
  18. I absolutely hate cheryl cole ... but she is bloody sexy. It'd be a "get dressed, see you later .. and on your way out, don't talk , because your accent pisses me off." jobby.
  19. antiques roadshow. thats when you know it's a Sunday and back to work tommorow.
  20. Guest Services is simply there to "Re-instate the magic that has been lost in peoples visit" alot of the time it does manage to do so, alot of the time (more so) it unfortunately gets abused by people. Sometimes, ride enthusiasts do this.I used to work in Guest Services (Not at Thorpe Park) and it genuinly dissapointed me when people would try to gain Exit Passes / Disabled Passes infront of those who geniuinly needed and deserved to have these benefits. The park, is not at all obliged to give any compensation / exit passes / disabled passes and guest services does not HAVE to be there. The department is there for the benefits of the guests.
  21. Been saying this for years, and years , and years. It did get a bit of stuff done to it in 2007 ish. New music, lights, paint, videos... it was good. Lasted all of 2 months before it was vandalised. I think X's time is up, it will be replaced soon. Have room for a couple of things there.
  22. Never been so wouldn't like to comment
  23. Thorpe park is Aimed at Teeneager, Chessington is aimed at young families and Alton is aimed at the whole family. Which is why there is one out-right winner from the three.

    No problem, sorry to hear about what happened mate! Hope everything is sorted soon.
  25. NickD replied to zkk's topic in Stuff
    You said it.he was a red but now he's blue Torres, Torres,he left the Kop, he loves the shed, Torres, Torres.He used to go out on the rob, but now he's got a proper job.Fernando Torres, chelsea's number 9Liverpool are ridiculous, £35m for Carrol.Anyways, I'm off to the bridge to meet torres and have a beer now! lol
