    Talking of animals... we found a field mouse in our garden last night, no idea how it got over here but it looked pretty shaken so we captured it and took it over to some fields near our house and released him/her in the hedgerow there... fingers crossed its okay! It was a cute little thing.
  3. Are you not even taking this seriously? Your a complete douche... First your vandalising and secondly your ruining the reputation of Chessington and ruining guests days. Well done, I hope you feel proud of yourself. This certainly proves your age and mental age!
  4. At Thorpe (just to say) they let us use three 2 for 1 vouchers in one transaction... either we got a really generous staff member or thats just general procedure, I don't know?Enjoy your visit, I'm of too Chessington next Monday

Agnes and Daisy Dares You... should all be good!
  8. It is confirmed on various music forums that Dance in the Dark will be the last single from TFM, it hasn't been confirmed on Lady Gagas site as of yet... just wanted to add that. Cant wait to see a video for this fantastic song.

    ^ If I was you Gemma id report it to the council or maybe the police, you shouldn't tolerate that crap from neighbours. I ring the police immediately if a fight breaks out over here, its pretty rough our little road, haha. Just last week we had someone try to commit suicide by setting fire to his flat, luckily he survived with no major injuries.

    Interesting! I hope general park improvements includes ride upkeep and repainting *cough Rapids cough*

    Thanks everyone for the kind words, I will keep you posted. I don't blame you Josh for being pee'd off at them, I would too. Its not like their lives are constantly taken up by other things, just a few minutes on the phone can make a difference. Sorry to hear about your Grandad, I hope your Nan feels okay, at least you were there for her, you did the most you could.
  13. JamesB replied to Theme Park bloke's topic in The Real World
    Thanks Glad to hear your Nan is well, thanks for your thoughts.

    Found out today that my uncle has cancer in his throat But according to the doctors they have found it quite quickly and a operation can sort it out but if it spreads then further treatment is going to be needed... am kinda gutted... so everyone please keep fingers crossed. This is the first time I've ever had cancer in my family.

    That doesn't sound good. I'm hoping she will be back up for my visit in July. Edge at Paultons has never had problems like that, has it?

    Same here Paul, I've been organising my birthday trip lately and they all want to go to Thorpe Park but I put my foot down and said no, we are doing Chessington. Theres noting wrong with it, theres still Dragons Fury, Vampire and Ramses Revenge to enjoy. Plus I kinda seeing the cute animals too After all its my birthday, shouldn't I be having the fun!
  17. I agree with everything thats been said. I must admit that I have gotten tired of visiting theme parks lately not because I don't enjoy them but just because I don't have that feeling inside you that really makes you want to go. It just seems that parks like Chessington and Thorpe are slowly losing their appeal. Partially its the queues and prices that put me off but also just the general state of the parks and the effort made. We are so in need of some world class attractions. I agree Saw was a step in the right direction but already its gotten rough and the reliability is slipping fast from what I've heard. I cant quite put my finger on it but I'm just quickly going off theme parks, particularly in the UK.I was ready to give Merlin a chance and thought they were doing a good job but looking back on it it seems they are slipping up a bit. The focus shouldn't always be on new rides but also upkeeping the current, classic rides. (For example Vampire, Nemesis, rapids... and all sorts) It was sad to so much of the budget go to waste on Thirteen, surely a lot of the budget could have been spent on upkeep than advertising the ride to be such a big, new thing. It was almost Saw version 2.

    The funeral is for her heart. And the puppet strings are supposed to be about men controlling her, its all about her being accepted by her gay friends and her wanting to be around them but they reject her. Thats what all the throwing is about near the end. I think its an amazing video, much more creative and reflective than any other I've seen. Its basically a tribute to Madonna, lets face it, without her, Gaga wouldn't even be this big. I love the cold, hard feeling to this video, it reflects her feeling amazingly... why does she always have to do a big production video, this time it was nice to see something toned down.
  19. Do not leave Crush's to the end, do it first. Apart from that, everyone else has given good advice.

    I was surprised Twist & Pulse got into the top 3, they were good but I didn't realise they were that popular. Spellbound deserved to win, they did fantastically. Though I thought it was a little unfair that they are competing in the world championships too... slight advantage?
  21. JamesB replied to James6's topic in Stuff
    Cant stand the drummer kid last night, hes a bit overrated, I have friends who can play the drum just as well, plus I don't like his personality, sorry, but hes just not likable in my eyes! My favourite is Janey, she deserves a shot and shes such a lovely lady... Susan Boyle version 2, anyone? Second favourite has to be Paul, he was amazing the other night, so funny!
  22. JamesB replied to Sheepie's topic in Stuff
    Indeed, he was amazing!Oh and in response to Gemma - Yes! Yes! Yes! I didn't know it was coming back so soon, that's made me so excited now!
  23. JamesB replied to Sheepie's topic in Stuff
    I was amazed the dog act got through last night, it was good but it just shocked me that they got the top votes. I was expecting the cute boys to go through first, so glad they got the judges vote! Cute, cute, cute.
  24. JamesB replied to Cringle's topic in Nonsense
    Stealth. I found Rita to be overrated and a pretty boring ride, sorry!Inversions or airtime?
  25. Yeah, thats true. My main question is there any room for rides, I don't know this area of Chessington very well?
