Aww, shame if the initial opening dates will be next year instead of this year. As Diogo mentioned, I've got a bit of a family gathering in Ireland in August - they're only in Co. Wicklow, would be easy enough to drive up there! Saying that I DO have an Irish coaster credit :p No idea what...

DFS get away with their never ending 'sale' because the sale is always only on a particular 'collection' of sofas - not the whole store's offering. So they just rotate round which collection is on sale, and keep within the trading rules of the higher cost having applied for 30 days. Trading...

I'm not a marketing bod, but if Merlin renamed their passes to what they truly are I suspect everyone would start viewing them differently and without the same level of grumbling and feeling they're being ripped off - even being charged the same price (or more) for them. Say the present...

Another year, another decision not to bother buying a MAP... I only live 15 miles from Thorpe, can get to Chessington & LegoLand in 45 minutes, and can drive to Alton Towers in 3hrs, so I wouldn't want to be buying a one park only pass either. It isn't the cost. Truly, it can't be, because...

It's amusing reading the excitement here, and the derision of BBC/ex-BBC staff towards the idea...

Noah, Jacob, Joshua, James, Ethan... Damn them all coming from some religious book out of the Middle East. Tainting our proper British names with their Hebrew origins.

So there is a by-election in Clacton-on-Sea happening shortly, and this is one of the candidates proposals: build Disneyland there! And the aim also stated here :) So.... loony or not?!

Wherever that is quoted (about the Guides having phones taken off them - by who for starters? the Guide leaders? The park?), I would say the following things about this possible reported 'fact'. Firstly, as a Girl Guide leader who's taken Guides to camp, we recommend not bringing phones to start...

SMM2: I'd agree wholeheartedly with Sam's sentiment of SMM2's station (and I have ridden Space Mountain at Aneheim). SMM2 doesn't have a Jules Verne theme - it USED to have one. But they only got rid of half of it which leaves the station and some other theming elements in the queue line...

Re: NEXT MEET: TST's Most Wanted Junket: Discussion Well, the packing, buying Euro's and a few pre-book park tickets still need to be done... ...on a positive note, the Junket theme music playlist is finished! *gets priorities right* :P

Re: NEXT MEET: TST's Most Wanted Junket: Discussion Can't believe it's only 10 days away... :D eeek, first time driving abroad and all... I keep wondering if I've forgotten anything, but I now have a new sat nav, euro requirement bits for the car, hotels & Le Shuttle all booked... We haven't...

I've recorded it - wasn't able to watch it live last night unfortunately... halfway through book 4 at the moment too! (that is, the 5th volume). :D

BADGES!!! :D I was hoping this would happen again! I'd like two please Saz, if that's possible. I won't be at opening meet though, so they'd need to be posted to me I'm afraid! Obviously let me know how much that will be extra. Yay! :)

Re: TST's Most Wanted Junket: Discussion Could have left the hotel information too mate! ;) We hadn't booked that night yet!

They presently don't, but they have committed to joining it eventually, as per the terms of membership. No there isn't a time limit, and it can be put off (presently 18 of 28 EU members are in the Eurozone - as two are exempt, eight are in theory working towards adopting it), but the point is...

Actually yes, they have - committing to adoption of the Euro is a requirement for all member states apart from the UK and Denmark. Now not all states have met the economic conditions yet to do so, but the proviso of joining the EU is that they will...

How would it be a 'false flag' if the United Kingdom of Whatevers Left of Britain and Ireland [insert new name] chooses to retain it as it's own? It would just be the official flag of the new version of our country. We're assuming as an independent nation Scotland would adopt their present flag...

Some thoughts and points: As a 'not fully independent' nation, as the SNP is proposing, would Scotland be able to remain in the EU with us? Or would they have to apply as their own country? Aside from the economic requirements, one of the rules of membership is the adoption of the Euro. I can't...

I think it's pretty categorical now Diogo and I won't be coming to the Scarefest meet, and very unlikely to go Scarefest at all. As I put before, our preferred way of doing it is to arrive Thurs night and have a full day on park on the Friday where its quiet and we can get a lot done. On 18th...

Firstly, I'm not a huge scare maze fan on the most part. I'm not so much scared of people jumping out at me, I just don't like it much. But I have done them (excluding 2010's BH and Carnival) for the last three Scarefests. My one experience of BH, 2011 (in the Black Hole tent) I can't say it did...
