Alfresco 11,008 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 I went to Thorpe Park Theme Park on Thursday with family. I enjoy theme parks, but my family always say that I'm odd because whilst I do get the feelings of exhilaration, I don't scream, or get worried or scared at all and I'm generally pretty emotionless whilst riding even the bigger thrill rides. They just don't do that for me. However, I went on one ride which is called Tidal Wave, where you get absolutely soaked. It is basically a carriage with several rows of seats that plummets down a ramp and hits the water, sending a huge wave up in the air, only for it to drop back down right on top of the riders. I did indeed get absolutely soaked, but one of my relatives commented that it was the first time she had seen me truly smile all day. 1 1 Quote Link to post

Sophie 23,108 Posted July 31, 2023 Author Share Posted July 31, 2023 I just love this. If you are not familiar with the video game Team Fortress 2 the actual cosplay might not make much sense to you but what I really like is how much fun they are having and just the sheer skill of being able to do that. The highlight for me is at 25 seconds where someone comes through the door, sees what they are doing and immediately runs over to join in. Only being limited by their outfit! 1 1 Quote Link to post

Happy memories. 1 Quote Link to post
Kupar 12,488 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 This made me smile. Such a loving restoration of a wonderful thing. For all you engineering geeks out there (you know who you are!) Long but worth it. 4 Quote Link to post

So obviously genuine and heartfelt. 2 Quote Link to post
Kupar 12,488 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I smiled at Lucy Beaumont's warning to Timothée Chalamet 🙂 The star of the new Willy Wonka film revealed his love for the [Hull accent] ... Chalamet said: "I like the Hull accent... Hull is sexy." After people behind the camera starting laughing, the actor said: "Why is everyone cracking up?" Responding to his remarks on BBC Radio 5Live, [Hull comedian and actress] Beaumont said: "I think he's on drugs. I've had this accent for 40 years and no-one has ever told me it's sexy." The actress, who wrote the sitcom Hullraisers, added: "He looks like a very lovely young man and he should stay away from the region or he'll be savaged by middle-aged Hull women." 1 1 Quote Link to post
