Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear... Back in 2010, Diogo and I went to our first Scaregest together. A last minute decision (we realised we would make the then TTF meet about a week beforehand) involving picking Diogo up straight from work around 7pm on the Friday night (and myself due to start work at...

Aww, poor Wood Lane, we shouldn't be harsh - the original that's pictured had to be dismantled along with the old platforms (you could just see heading eastbound on the Central Line) for a new depot underneath with the building of Westfield shopping centre & surrounding roads. In fairness it had...

My dad used to smoke - he never ever smoked upstairs in the house when I was a child (ie keeping it away from our rooms and breathing it in while asleep) though he did downstairs. At the time, the air freshner my mum used to get rid of the stale smoke smell overnight stunk out the room far more...

But I will agree for TST it likely wont. In Guiding we already wear a uniform (however casual it may be nowadays!) so to have branded event clothing to wear to guiding events, or just generally to show our membership (I've seen plenty of Scout and Guide people at Towers before just by...

With the issue of Smiler construction - at the moment it would be understandable to the general public (as long as they explain 'why' ) to have closed X-Sector at 5pm for continuing construction works, but extended the opening of the rest of the park for longer. Though it seems utterly bonkers...

Just reposting my post with the bit I kept but then went wholly off topic from the original AT Live thread.... Copied over: Yes I used the word 'snobby' but in the context of there being quite a lot of opinion of peoples musical tastes already here and I didn't feel that was the point of the...

Yes I used the word 'snobby' but in the context of there being quite a lot of opinion of peoples musical tastes already here and I didn't feel that was the point of the topic. Will it be a success for AT on the basis of who they've booked? Yes. It's fair to state you wont go because the act's...

As long as it's advertised, it will do well! No question. This is exactly the type of line-up we get at the Girlguiding Big Gig's - the last one I went to with my unit was Wembley Arena in October 2011, we had Olly Murs then alongside Pixie Lott, Eliza Doolittle, Dionne Bromfield, Ed Sheeran...

It's a little off topic but.... Having no legs is NOT an advantage on the running track. A single below knee (BK, or transtibial for the technical term) amputee has to use between 10-20% more energy just to walk. A double above knee up to 300%. The idea it's an advantage is ludicrous. He has no...

LateRooms.com has both Alton Towers Hotel and Splash Landings as 4* Can't find any mention on AT's own website what rating their hotels are. http://prntscr.com/onxev http://prntscr.com/onxcj However it also adds that this is 'self classified', meaning it hasn't been assessed by either The AA or...

Actually: http://prntscr.com/onv5l (2-5* ratings state 'same as 1*' for this requirement) Which comes from the English Tourism publication listing all the requirements for each classification of hotel of 1 to 5 stars...

Just re-iterating the point that this is an American study. I would not use it as evidence to discuss UK viewpoints and laws where we know they are vastly different. Just as I also wouldn't use a Republic of Ireland study to decide UK laws where only now is a law allowing abortion in the even of...

Finding yourself in the position of needing to choose whether to have an abortion or not is a heavy consequence of itself. I don't see how that's not learning actions have consequences. The fact is though, that authorisation for abortion cannot be judged unavailable for a section of the...

I assume this applies equally to the father. That they will be held equally responsible for the consequences of their actions in some form and their parental responsibility upheld (and I don't just mean money) to equal the fact the woman goes through the pregnancy and generally takes parental...

Lustful, drunken fumbles on only the womans part? :o By default that's what's being implied, as the only one who can actually have the abortion is the woman. That doesn't necessarily make the decision any easier. It's just as much a woman having to deal with the aftermath of an irresponsible...

It takes two to make a baby - female genetic material and male genetic material. How is this then only the womans 'fault' (as some have said) if contraception fails or isn't used? I frankly don't understand why so many men have a problem with condoms. Apart from preventing a baby you might not...

I disagree on the point that DJ's doing a hoax call to a hotel to jokingly book a room for/impersonating a celebrity (any celebrity incidentally) and making silly requests etc on their behalf is one thing. Calling up a hospital and asking for medical details, however mistaken the nurses in...

I think West Ruislip would be fine as well and remain as a branch line even if this extention to Uxbridge opened - apart from also being a mainline station, where it is located is the main thing. It's the nearest Central Line station to Ruislip High street and bang in the middle of a mass of...

lol, I was just reading that same article! I'm not sure how it can continue straight on from West Ruislip to Ickenham as the lines continue under the road and off following the Chiltern line completely the wrong way, unless they'd rebuild the West Ruislip station tube platforms to be on a...

I love the older stations too, but I personally do like Westminster Station of the Jubilee line extension. The rest I can leave tbh (including Canary Wharf): Interesting about extending the Central Line - I believe originally it was intended to go beyond West Ruislip towards Denham. I doubt...
