Rep for you...Urgh stupid Watford... Oh wells, need to focus for Saturday... 6 pointer much?

This is shaping up nicely... Can't wait...

Bout time I can reply to this... I love the way you've kept editing your post from the original one... Throw your stats at me all you want, it's actually relatively hard to compare Rooney and Torres because they are both very different strikers... Whilst they share some trademarks of flair and skill, they are not equal, Rooney is often played in a deeper role, meaning that he probably will get fewer chances in a game in comparison to Torres, where he was one out of two outlets Liverpool had...For the record, they've both been crap this season... I support a team NOT in the Moneybags League, so I'm not biased in any way shape or form towards one of them, it's a joint hatred for various reasons... What if he doesn't? Then he's not worth it? Quite frankly for that fee he should be able to link into a team well... Chelsea are hated... As are Man Utd, and Liverpool, and Arsenal, and Spurs... Each one for different reasons... The media pick onto teams in slumps because it's easier to find faults... Saw exactly the same when Liverpool were being crap (I.e. every last couple of years), and the same for any particular 'big' player (you did read the papers after the World Cup right?) 1) He has been this season in comparison to others... £50 million is way too much... 2) Easily... What has he been like off the ball as well? Players are rather easy to see from the stands how much they want to play... It's a simple thing... Plus there is so much expectation of him... £50 million? Off rivals? 3) I don't support United, so couldn't care less about Berbatov, next...4) Everyone knows that English players are so over inflated... Mike Ashley walked to the bank beaming when Liverpool (or Liverfool in this instance) came knocking... One good season in the Championship and half of one in the Premiership? Now injured... Perfect, let Liverpool waste their money...5) That sickens me... Chelsea are posting HUGE losses... Yet manage to spend 50 mill? It's exactly that which is disgraceful about football... If that was any other business it would've been closed down ages ago, but because it's football, it's allowed (from more than Chelsea, Utd and a few others are guilty of this)...Besides, if UEFA actually bring in the monetary limits on European competitions, that 50 million won't look too clever will it? Let alone the 20 million odd for David Luiz as well...Another note, don't label me as a Man Utd fan... That actually sickens me... And please, UK football atmosphere has been awful for years now... I don't think there's been a game recently when I've thought "Wow, listen to the crowd, they're really excited"...

You'll find in life that as we get older around 18-25 there is a slight mental age regression that occurs...This is predominant in universities worldwide...

Torres has been crap all season though...

Press release from the park...

I don't think I'd ever see Alton setting up a Bullet For My Valentine concert...Most likely would be Muse...But I've seen JLS fans... They're annoying...

What a fanatastic line-up...Maybe if they all stand together I can hit them all with my AK-47...Although Eliza can survive...

Just finished booking hotels for my jaunt to Germany with Nicky after exams...Hansa and Heide <3<3Plus staying in Heide's hotel... Which is stupidly cheaper than Towers'...

^You're just as fit like...

Best staff picture of me ever...

My brother gets love...

I'm calling you out on your awesome photoshopping techniques... Bravo good sir...

Yeah, but John Terry's an arse...As is Cashley...In fact, every famous England player bar Beckham are top-grade arses... Funny that...

You really didn't need to finish that sentence tbh...And it's because the media bum United... And think Rooney is English football's saviour...

Shawshank RedemptionAmazing film... Tbh I wasn't sure what to expect but what a perfectly well done film... It truly deserves it's perch on the 250...10/10

Whilst the goal was very good, what an awful, awful gif...

What Mark is getting at with the independant ownership is that Merlin's higher management don't seem to 'care' (best word I can think of) about Chessie, hence the lack of investment since they took over...Since 08 Chessie has seen 1 new ride... 1... Kobra... That's not good enough is it? Ok we've also seen Lorikeets and Wanyama come in with Wild Asia, but is that really making it look like Merlin give as much of a damn as they do Thorpe and Alton? Both of which have recieved a coaster and other rides in the same timeframe...Maybe Chessie cutting loose from Merlin, and with adequate funding (I.e. a lot), is the best option? It would certainly allow them a lot more freedom in the choices and things they build... It's all too difficult to accurately predict what would happen... Chessie is quite simply the odd one out in Merlin's UK parks portfolio... And they seem to treat it as such... The basic jist is that Merlin need to start providing higher investments to the park... How much would the Toytown retheme have cost them really? There's so much potential with Chessie but because they don't invest because it doesn't attract the guests then it will forever stay in a state of purgatory... As it needs investment to attract guests...

There be so much Dolly in that playlist you'd think you're at Dollywood...

So we should be just happy that Bubbles has been repainted?This is exactly the mind-set that's wrong, we shouldn't be thinking that rides being repainted is a major thing, it should be done reasonably regularly (not every year, some form of cycle can be worked out for each ride based on individual needs)...Chessie sits in a vicious cycle of investment vs. guest numbers... Merlin need to take the risk with the park and invest into it... Regardless of it having a 'poor' summer... We really should have been seeing Toytown demolished and it disappoints me that not even a project like that can be funded...

1 - Nemesis (Alton Towers)Do I need a reason?2 - Revenge of the Mummy (Universal Studios Florida)Awesome mixture of dark ride and fun coaster... Extremely re-rideable, proven by me doing it 10 times in a day... 3 - The Beast (Kings Island)Nom, 6 minutes of pure increase of speed... And when night comes, it becomes something completely different...4 - Tonnere de Zeus (Parc Asterix)Ton of Air... So much airtime... So much fun...5 - Top Thrill Dragster (Cedar Point)Serious awesomeness just oozes from TTD... Looks bloody massive, sounds bloody loud, and rides bloody amazingly... One of the only coasters that made me nervous AND then proceeded to make me hyper for 30 minutes...6 - Expedition G-Force (Holiday Park)In hindsight, this may be the one that doesn't deserve it's place, but I really enjoyed it tbh... Must have hit it on a good day...7 - Megaphobia (Oakwood)Yay Welsh Wood... This is brilliant fun... A lot similar to Tonnerre in some respects... Added points for sheep living next door...8 - Duelling Dragons : Ice (Islands of Adventure)I much prefer Ice (or whatever version it is now) to Fire... Though again, this could easily change as haven't been on it for years...9 - Kumba (Busch Gardens Africa)The only B&M sit-down on the list, and it just rocks... It's classic B&M awesome, with g-forces coming out of the wazoo and a brilliant layout...10 - Phantom's Revenge (Kennywood)The big suprise really... Absolutely stand-out for the second drop and outrageous amounts of airtime recieved in the final legs... Great fun...

Some of us are stupid enough to waste student government money to do that AND a Italy trip

My topic wasn't for posting random things, but for Mudkips (and other Pokemon related imagery)... And it's not stupid...

People are quite generally idiots (and much worse)...Best thing to do is either ignore them or report them... Not sure what you're referencing to fully here, but when you posted THAT picture in the Mudkip thread it was mainly a "OMG IT'S A BIEBER! KILL IT!" reaction, and kinda didn't fit into the point of the topic (which is of course, to post lots of Mudkips)...You just gotta tell people to shove it sometimes...If someone 5 years younger than me is having a pop at me, I'll have a pop back, because quite frankly, they get what's coming...So in short, smack the gits...
