Woh woh woh..... I leave for a couple of years and I come back to find they want to close Hex? But Hex transcends the largely vacuous medium that theme parks attractions in this country has become and shows us what a well crafted ride experience should be! Its not just a ride, its a realisation...

A facebook acquaintance of mine was posting comments in support of Jeremy Clarkson saying 'well haven't you ever had to deal with someone who deserves a punch?' as a justification. The irony is that he is the first person to repost examples (often Daily Mail articles) of benefit claimants...

The polling reflects what I said. When polled the English are supportive of more renewables, they are supportive of a publicly owned NHS, they are supportive of no tuition fees and they are supportive of nationalised railways. This is even broadly true of Conservative and UKIP voters oddly...

Interesting misrepresentation there Gary. Council Tax rise proposals were put in place to protect services as Brighton was dealt out some of the biggest local spending cuts in all of the country by central government, something that Brighton's voters never voted for but have had forced upon...

England is a very mixed ideological region. The vast majority in England want renewable energy, renationalised railways, a public owned NHS, and free tuition fees. Also it is true that the majority of people in England want less welfare, harsher immigration controls, low income taxes and the...

Obviously I will be voting Green, being a local election candidate for the Greens and massively involved with campaigning for the party. As I see it, the Greens are the only major national party with an alternative model to austerity. Just a few reasons to vote green include: The introduction...

Ah... Sorry. Case of just jumping in with a post head first without actually reading the post!

This is all a bit too ternary - To be inclusive shouldn't there be options for asexuals, pansexuals, polysexuals, etc... and If gender is to be mixed into the equation than surely there needs to be Transgender, third gender, gender-fluid, etc..? Also an 'other' and 'don't know' option would be...

I hate to give these interminable git holes any more undeserved coverage but it has been brought to my attention that this forum has become stale on the keyboard warrior-ing and the rage spitting fury inducing debate front. To remedy the situation I had to pull out a right wretched subject to...

I just thought of another weak claim to fame - My great uncle was Jack Slipper, better known as 'Slipper of the Yard' and was famous for investigating the Great Train Robbery

This might interest some on here, Ian Driver a local Green Party councillor in Thanet, has been trying to raise alarm bells about the council's mismanagement of the Dreamland project and because of this, the likelihood that it won't open next year...

I once had a UKIP MEP candidate stick her finger up at myself and fellow activists which we caught on a photo which went viral. It lead to my name being mentioned on the Daily Mail, The Independent, The Mirror, The Huffington Post, and The International Business Times websites amongst others...

Forget Alton Towers and Thorpe Park! Tulley's Farm is where it's at for Halloween. No seriously, it is generally fantastic with a large range of scaremazes. I'm hugely disappointed that I won't be able to visit this year!

How does that call in to question the intellect of The Doctor...? Because there are animals which have evolved to camouflage?

I agree, the dialogue and interaction is what saved it, but I think the idea of there being an actually existing Robin Hood is a bit goofy, especially one which is exactly like the Hood we know in the stories, if they made him a less polished and gleaming a depiction, I think it would have...

I haven't enjoyed a Doctor Who series this much as in a very long time, and to think I was just about to give up on the show for good! Plots with just enough complexity to be intriguing but not followable, so far not breaking the rules of the Doctor Who universe, the Doctor being a genuinely...

Strange really because I have the exact opposite reaction. When actors can touch you it completely removes me from the experience as it brings to your attention how little they can actually do to you and highlights how it is a constructed experience with limitations. The idea of a character...

I personally think touching/invading personal space is a really cheap trick and is often applied to scare attractions that lack imagination as an attempt to ratchet up the tension, when all it really does is make you uncomfortable rather than scared.

*cue elaborate entrance sequence with full fire and brimstone effects* Now who wants to get embroiled in an unnecessarily heated socio-economic discussion with a tenuous at best link to theme parks? ;) Anywho, to towerslover1, having had the experience we had at Alton Towers, I would make an...

Re: 2014: CBeebies Land I accept your points Dave, but I don't feel that it is an excuse, even to trade in China. They are not the worst offenders by far, but they are still an offender that is putting animals through torture purely for financial gain. Plastic Person - I had not actually been...
