^ On runways?

^ Awww, The Boy is so pretty! And SJP too! Cool pic. (And isn't it past your bedtime... )

OMG, the FUDGE!!! Clint and I bought like a kilo and a half of that stuff, stupidly, and then spent the rest of the trip trying to finish it off! It even ended up coming to Sweden with us for God's sake! Stupid Brits and Aussies, never can resist a bargain. Good fudge though! Nice pictures Will, I like the shot of the rat tunnel taken from the floor, different to any others I've seen. EDIT: I'd already seen about a dozen pictures of James and Barron flashing on Velocity but this one... ...seems to have the added bonus of Cameron's nipples too! Woo-hoo! Pinball fanboys rejoice around the world...

^ Y'know, for the first time, I actually have NO complaints about my last visit to Blackpool, I think mainly because I was there in enough of a big group that I barely noticed the things I usually don't like! Besides Jow, there are no chavs or illuminations in Pennsylvania, right?!

^ You and me both. Barry, don't take it personally, the fact that you're mentioned is a compliment in itself. You were a great sport on the trip and always laughed if Robb or whoever made jokes about you. Take it to mean that, shock horror, people may actually kinda like you!

Great pics Jahan! And hey, nothing wrong with staying in the hotel, I'd probably be too intimidated to go wandering around a completely new country on my own too, and in a way you still experienced the culture! Looks like a gorgeous part of the world.

Great pics Jahan, and the captions were hilarious! What the heck IS the point of those babies, I'd be more than slightly scared... I've somehow missed the rest of your PTR on the other board, off to check it out now.... Glad you had fun at the park!

^ LOL! You knew what I meant. I'll admit that Knoebels isn't a park I know all that much about, but the more I hear, the more I'd like to visit. One day!

Interesting article! And somebody should tell Cameron that there's another pinball obsessive in the coaster world. Fetterman sounds like a proper eccentric, but the way they're building and the way Knoebels is run sounds awesome to me, on their own time.

^ Aww, thank you Rich, and Elissa, but it's okay, he's entitled to his opinion, and maybe he's right. *shrug* My situation is very different to yours Martin, because I don't drive, the majority of these parks are difficult for me to get to without an organised trip or without dragging some unsuspecting friend into the equation to drive me. I saw the opportunity, had the money, and took it. I'm sorry if anybody else feels I should not have done.

Yes. How would I have been on the bus, in the hotels and at every park, otherwise?!?! Because your brittish??? Colin"Just a guess"C Yes Colin, they had a seat on the bus reserved and hotel reservations for each British TPR member, just in case we felt like tagging along.

Yes. How would I have been on the bus, in the hotels and at every park, otherwise?!?! Another great update Robb. Jow, if it's any comfort, the Schwarzkopf, for me, was.... Meh! Kind of a bizarre little ride, much slower than it felt like it should have been. Making you feel any better? No?

^ I know, I'm actually slightly scared!! Quick, somebody talk about coasters!

^ I know you didn't, you made it quite clear that you actually urinated. I however, did not.

^ He claimed to be Elissa's son, but the fake profile said she didn't want children. *shrug* Doesn't matter, it's been pulled, let's just hope no others appear.

I hate having insomnia. I hate being bored. I hate that I have to continue the futile jobhunt today. I hate that I'm poor. I hate that part of the reason for my poorness is that people refuse to give back what they owe me. I hate that it's too damn much of a heatwave, I just need ONE normal Manchester day, then it can come back! I hate that I'm in such a freakin' whiny mood!

How did Robb put it.... "Curly haired freak".

^ and ^^ I think a lot of it has to do with sodomy being stigmatised by many homophobics (and others for that matter), and being (in some peoples' eyes) a "intrusive" practice. Gay women I suppose are seen as softer, and do nothing that threatens men, who make up the largest percentage of homophobes/anti-gay people. There's also a kind of double standard when it comes to lesbians, because of the percentage of men who find the idea of two women together quite a turn-on.

^ Didn't I tell you already that I kept TRYING to die to make you feel better, but failed miserably on every attempt?!?!

PG-13!!

^ Because your actual dad wouldn't let you, and your substitute parents would've killed you had they had to put up with your pounding for two more days. Plus RyanAir would've had to change their name once they'd met you.

^ Ummm.... (For the record, I almost peed a little too, and so would you all with Derek and Robb's combined weight on your internal organs...)

^ That wasn't this thread, that was Ryan's birthday thread. Similar theme though! ^^ Channel 15 plus Cheez Doodles from the 7-11. What a night!

According to Dan (this was one of the first things I asked him when I met him, sadly enough), he's not SCARED of water, just doesn't like walking around parks wet, and therefore won't do water rides unless they're particularly awesome and he can hide in a poncho (ie Valhalla). Personally I think he's pretty dumb for letting Robb and Elissa know this though, seeing as I'm fairly sure they probably started trying to splash him the second they discovered it...

^ Believe me I tried! You should've seen my bruises!
