weird.. i've honestly never met anyone, male or female, of any age who was scared of them
I'm not scared of rollercoasters, I'm scared of heights. I would happily go on Nemesis again for example, but anything like Oblivion, I'm just not sure I could steel myself to go on again.

If you could get something with the thrills of a rollercoaster, but only a couple of feet off the floor that would be perfect.

The Big One in Blackpool would be a definite no-no.

At least I wasn't scared of that ride we went on at V that turned you upside down a couple of times.
now that was funny, ive never seen tenshons face so green or contorted in nausea. i think we laughed like a couple of twats then, at his expense. i think for about ten minutes.
now, I do have that photo!

No no, be fair, I felt genuinely sorry for him. For about half a second, then I started laughing.

To be honest, I've never really seen Tenshon fazed by anything before or since, but that was priceless. His face was literally green. And when I say literally, I mean actually literally green.

any suggestions are good, but depends when your pay day is? hang on the tickets are free for christs sake! how many burgers are you planning on eating?!!!

can anyone do a week day if we give some notice?
i can eat a lot of burgers :v:

nah, you gotta remember i'm in sheffield, so i will still have to pay for petrol, food for a couple of days, drinking money, etc.. it's not a huge amount, but i'm proper brass atm so even scraping together £40 is a 'kin challenge..

a weekday would be good shiz - maybe a friday? the important thing is attendance, though, so whatever is good for the masses..

i hear ya.. as i say, i'm scared shitless of heights, but for some reason when it's a rollercoaster i don't mind.. the only thing you won't get me on at alton towers is the cable cars, for exactly that reason!

Now the cable car is probably man's scariest ever invention.

Except for the cat.

Man invented the cat? Must have missed that.

And yes, I'd like to clarify it's heights not the rides that give me the willies. Anyone questioning my masculinity because of it can get to feck. ;)
 

TENSHON

4000th post? Whatever, I'm nonchalant..

what, do you mean you want to post a link that only forum members can read, or do you mean you just want somewhere to upload the photo that isn't a public host (like imageshack, or xs.to or something)?

It'll be here by Monday
We all said it wasn't a good idea
what :q:

Dressed like Cadfael
I went to Thorpe Park the other weekend and it is but a pale comparison of Alton Towers. They've got a couple of good Coasters, but that's it. Best thing was winning a small orange skeleton from a machine. feck Thorpe park in the ass.

You knows it
Alton towers sounds good to me. The county's premier tourist attraction always provides muchos entertainment. Rex and me went earlier in the year. Rita is the mutt's nuts. Best ride i've ever been on :slayer:
