Jobs..
I got a job at Waitrose three weeks ago and I absolutely love it there. Great bunch of people in a little store and all have said I fit in there so well and so quickly. I sell things like cakes, pizzas, porridge, pretzels, bread, soup, lattices, sausage rolls and the such and I love it.

Political Discussion
Welcome to the real world then Ryan, horrible, cruel things happen. These things are out of control but think of the brutual, horrific things the Taliban regime did to people during their reign or Iraq such as pucli executions of women, children and families by stoning.

Political Discussion
Ah you see, this is the usual response to any kind of Iraqi war question. And the question I really want to know the answer to is... is there ever a good time to go to war? Now, in a brief run down. The Falklands occured in 1982 and helped Thatcher retain the Prime Minister position in 1983. Are we genuninely saying that if the Tories had been in power after September 11th and America was sending troops into Iraq, that the Tories would just say No Deal?

Peeking Heights
Just because it doesn't get long queues doesn't mean the waiting times aren't long. Again it comes down to the stupid loading procedures on it. During Summer the queue was around 40 minutes which for a terrible ferris wheel is terrible.Needs to be removed and pronto. A decent ride with a good throughput, not a ferris wheel with some ok views.

Stealth
If you start thinking what happened on a ride could happen on your ride, then you won't do anything. You don't get in a car thinking about all the car crashes that happen every hour of every day so don't let it bother you.I've seen things at Chessington that have downright frightened me, but I sitll go on the rides as they are safe.

Thorpe Park Trip Reports
I twas with the Simps yesterday and have to back up all his comments. Thorpe's reliability has gone from bloody awful to fantastic and I no longed visit in fear of just how many rides won't be open in the day. Notice how quiet the reliability topic has been off late... They've got their acts together in such a big way and when even people like me, old fogies who can't wait to have a moan, are satisfied you know the park are doing something right.Considering queues were long(ish) we rode Stealth twice on the front row.. basically because I'm actually scared of it. I dunno what it is about it but it terrifies me more then any other ride.

I remember the kerfuffle I went through trying to get Katy Price onto Fury last year. And trying to be as polite as possible, she was the most ungreatful cow ever..

Thorpe Park Meetup - Sunday 30th May 2010
Considering I've never done that, its rich coming from you.

Thorpe Park Meetup - Sunday 30th May 2010
I find it more funny guys that a lot of you have laughed at some of the Rich related jokes made at the times I've seen you and the first TPM meet and yet we ask that you do not invite banned members and everyone goes but what about Rich. II don't see any of you giving a damn that Themeparkbloke isn't invited. Just because Rich likes all your statuses on facebook and drives you all around merrily in his car you seem to think we're just discriminating him.

Thorpe Park Meetup - Sunday 30th May 2010
I'm backing Marc up here. I know lots of our younger members get on with Rich but the admin team have taken the decision that from now on, banned members are not invited.

Oh Sweet Jesus... You always think rollercoasters are safe and yet things like this still happen and it really makes you think. I hope everyone is ok and that no one has been seriously injured.

I, at the Season Pass, am interviewing John Wardley on Saturday
Great listen. John Wardley really is just gold. His little anecdotes, his politeness and his enthusiasm for rides always shines through. A little fanboy thrill struck through when he said his favourite ride was the old Bubbleworks. Well done MikeyT, getting your question answered there. Just a shame Neilfevers question wasn't touched upon

SAW: The Ride
It's not a safety hazard at all.. If they are to close all that will happen is a block shutdown. But they aren't, one car is what.. three seconds from the end, the other is about ten seconds from even getting close to the mid course break run.All this picture shows is that the team on Saw are working bloody hard.
