Han, your sister is quite welcome to call me to help her therapy, sounds like she needs some guidance.
You on the other hand have a great opportunity, to measure yourself against someone who it seems proves how well you are doing, 'cos you are able to say "that's not how I would treat someone!"
Life is a stage, we go out and perform and when we get back to our base, we can breathe a sigh of relief and consider we got away with it. Enjoy your life, and ease up on the comparisons, corners exist so that we don't know what's coming.
Your sister must have a pretty sad life if she spends her time criticising yours.
As to work/jobs, think outside the norm, question everything and not getting a job is not a failing, but somebody elses loss, Be You!

I used to think I had loads of friends, but gradually realized most were "colleagues". I am a little older than most on this forum, and have few true friends, but they are the ones that will always be with you.
Don't look for friends, just be there for the exchanges that others need, the friendship will develop.
Assess the negative comments and those that annoy you, work out if there's any relevance. Life has a big rubbish bin beside it, where you put the useless negatives, once in, forget it.
Don't waste brain cells in regretting or worrying about things that you cannot change and that are past, file them but sift the good bits that you can benefit from, then look in the mirror and see who matters.

Everybody has their likes and dislikes, and some are more vociferous in venting their opinion on others - try a ride to make your own mind up, never, never rely on another to disuade you.
Luckily we are all different physically and especially in our appreciation of a particular style of ride, which means there are not 100% of a parks visitors in the queue in front of me.
We are mostly aware that a particular ride can vary in it's comfort/discomfort due to variations in maintenance, weather and temperature, so it is worth re-riding to make ones own judgement.
Enjoy what we have gang, as you can never tell what the future brings, unless it's in a banana skin.

Chill, we all have to work at friendship. Turn it round, you know you make the effort, you know how you like to be treated, move on and be you. Don't allow them to have the same criticism of you, you are obviously better than that; you just have to show them how it's done, and don't waste your brain cells fretting about it.
Life is the biggest roller coaster ride, not always comfortable, but wow, what a ride.

Just checked and found I am home too so a big thanks to Peaj for organizing and keeping tags on names and "handles", also keeping the scores on the evenings orders. Thanks to TP for inviting us, and special thanks to staff who turned in early to operate the ride.
Interesting day, on my favourite ride, I understood that there was a photoshoot on at the same time but think we had the better draw. Sorry to those that I did not speak to, or failed to return to conversations with, and great to meet people.
Sorry also, that I dropped out of the TP ride tour so quickly as I had to return to Stealth just to make sure it was working okay still, it was, all day.
Promise that in the future I will ignore Stealth and be more sociable, well, I'll try.

EC, won't she be lonely by then, as the park will have closed some hours previously?

The first time I went over there was a shock; I always thought 130 miles west of the River Severn was call "Ireland"!

Doh!, any sheep he sees!

They actually bought equipment to manufacture parts for some of the rides; historically, there is nowhere better for large rides.

Like most parks, some areas need TLC whilst some are recently refurbished or new.

It is a great all round family entertaining park.

Though it is of short duration, and it never ceases to amaze me that some people queue for quite a while, then ride it and ask if that was it? - what have they been watching whilst in the queue? I digress; Stealth has everything except a loop; fantastic turn of speed, sudden change in direction and Positive G, that fantastic view, if you're quick, with the negative G of the tophat, then that wonderful freefall , to the pressure in the bottom gully, followed by another float over the bunnyhop, with the added pleasure of watching people's mobile phones flying past us - Doh!

Maybe his pronunciation was not too good, as I think they are installing and testing the new trains, I.e. "more trains".

I've been twice this year, checked on the website which showed a 10a.m. opening, and found they had opened at 09.30 on both occasions.
