MarcV Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Hello all...don't know if you remember me, was the rather scared guy in the blue shoes...well, Ian will remember me. Couldn't see any place for new users to introduce themselves (although I didn't look too hard), so yeah, hello. Apologies for being a bit grumpy, natural defence mechanism when surrounded by such absolute loons as your fine selves. Hooray for the enthusiast community!

Frankie Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 14th... was kinda rubbish in my honest opinion, I didnt mind so much that the rides were down and blah blah blah.. weather was bad and some were throwing wobbly's, fair enough, it was just the people. Several times throughout the day I experienced couples and groups of irritating 12 year olds thinking they know best and having a go at whoever was closest to them, normally a ride op. But also, and I'm sorry to say it, I felt hugely ignored by people I went to meet from here because after one ride (the carousel) I wasnt even given a chance to get off the ride before the people I was with ran off to somewhere else, I was ditched and didnt see them for the rest of the day. Its not an unusual occurance either ¬¬. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheepie Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 In all fairness it depends on which group of people you're with. If you're with 14- 16 year olds, they tend to get hyper and literally run off everywhere. LOL. No offense to anyone.I know how you feel Frankie, and I know that a few others felt exactly the same as you did, just pick who you go around with more carefully next time ;)Not that it makes it okay, people should be more aware of others at meet- ups. It's not on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkmad Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Due to Zodiac being a Hydrologic ride, the wheel could not turn due to the oil freezing overnight, therefore there was no spin and the ride stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a bit sore yesterday! =PFor everyone else's benefit, Chris decided to take a running jump up to me, and in doing so managed to make my back and neck crack lol. Was worse than a Vekoma!

It's not on.YES so true :PThis also affected the evening, where going to eat was a complete nightmare. If Rob hadn't stepped in and suggested what to do, god knows how long we'd have been hanging around in Staines, frezzing our bits off!It was a shame we couldn't sit together but the wait was 45 minutes, which apparently no one was happy about yet apparently they were also annoyed that we all sat seperatly (that's what I heard from someone yesterday, according to them "Rob annoyed everyone by splitting the group up"). Hmm...well from my recollection, we weren't getting anywhere and no one said no when he suggested it...I mean as hyper as the younger ones were, I'm sure they're capable of speaking up! I think next time we need to make sure we don't go on a busy day for restaurants, such as Valentine's Day, and that we have a "back-up plan" incase there's an issue, like on Saturday. Sounds a bit OTT but after the other night and what I was told yesterday, we need it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickD Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Last time when we all went to Nandos we where very lucky to get a large table up stairs, in future if there is to be a meet-up after at a restaurant it may be worth investing in booking a table (I'm sure it's not too much effort). Last years meet was really good and it seems like this years wasn't quite so great, hopefully another one can be organized some time soon and it will go alot smoothly (and I won't be too unwell to come).

I didn't want to sound too moany and stuff in my other post, or label the younger members as annoying and hyper or anything. It just wasn't exactly the highlight of my day ;)I did assume at first that a table was booked. But anyway, I still had a good day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepie Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 I'd just like to add. I apologise on the behalf of certain other members for any friction that was felt at Nandos. The people involved showed themselves up big time though, I wouldn't worry.Still come to meet ups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
