You soo remind me of a friend who also takes her godparenting duties very seriously somewhere along the lines of take one child add E numbers, stand well back. .
So are you related to Dave or do you just have Thursday and Eddie in common?

Dave: Aw bless...

Holly: Not related. Dave was my lodger once which he could moan about at great length ! We met when he was at Uni with a friend of my then girlfriend. Too many years ago to worry about (91 IIRC). I came to Leeds to do postgrad and we shared a house between 5 of us (including above girlfriend) in Headingley for 2 years and I've been haunting him ever since...

I hasten to add that rob means 1991, not we've known each other 91 years.

Though it feels like it, and he charged me enough rent to cover that amount of time...

Oh and I thought at last I'd found someone else on here round the same age that I feel.

Oh yeah. That is quite badly worded isn't it ;-)

Hmmmm Blackpool seems nice..... if you like those things.... Louise and me tried a small thingie that goes round and round and back and round, and from where little 12- and 13-year old girls came out laughing.

My bag flew away, breaking the metal clip, we just wanted it to stop, and we both threw up afterwards and felt bad for hours later.
:D

Age showing? But she's 22.... so it can't be only that.... might have been going on that after having a light lunch *roll eyes*

Reminds of a Mike Harding sketch set in Blackpool ....

.. and our Willie ate forty-seven of them little blue bags out of packets of crisps. Then we went on the roundabouts. He didn't half upset a lot of people, did our Willie. Our Mam said our Willie's got a weak stomach. Our Willie said he was chucking it as far as he could ...

Let it be stated we were sick in the toilets, not in front of people.
pfffff

Besides, I'm scared of roller coasters hehehe

My ex wife insisted on going on a fairground ride whilst heavily pregnant. About halfway through she realised she was going to barf and took careful aim away from those in her group. It was one of those rotating things, and as it rotated, the sick collided with the girl next to her coming the other way. They didn't know each other, and it didn't make for a good introduction.

Rollercoasters good: whirly things bad.

Roundabouts good : white knuckle rides bad (they give me headaches)


Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach has/had a helter-skelter with a large wooden bowl at the end of the slide. You came down the slide and whizzed round a couple of times in a downward spiral until you lost momentum and reached the bottom of the bowl. Or, as you reach the bowl, the rubber sole of your shoe makes unintentional contact with the floor, you stop dead and slide straight to the bottom of the bowl in a heap. Not that this ever happened to me, of course............

Has anybody else conducted experiments into kissing on fairground rides? I've got a sample of two, which is hardly scientific, but I can reveal my preliminary studies revealed that you get neck ache.

I went to Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach once. It was January, and everything was shut. Wooo. Spooky.

Dunno about sore necks, but I reckon black eyes could be an occupational hazard there.

You also bang your teeth together. It's not terribly sexy, but worth trying for the sheer stupidity of the exercise.

Or am I the only one to think like that?

Yes.

PSD: I originally read "kissing fairground rides" rather than "kissing ON fairground rides" and wondered if you were even weirder than I thought...

Only you, PSD. Only you...

Sarah

Hello Holly. Welcome from me too. And no, I haven't said that already. I'm a differnt Sarah, who has a 'B' after her name and isn't owned by any cats.

Don't mind PSD, he's just... well. He just is really. We let him get on with it. ;-)

And the last time I went to Blackpool was for a Stargate convention last year and it happened to be the weekend of the howling gales that stopped all the trains... so I don't really have all that many fond memories of it!



--------------

There's a hole in my creativity bucket and it's all leaked out.

That happened to me the first time I went to Torquay. The howling gales and the trains packing in, that is. I was there for work, and staying in Bristol; I got back after midnight. Terrible day. I wish I'd had second sight; I could have nipped up to the Crown & Sceptre in St Marychurch, found Claire and said 'Hello, I'm your future husband, any chance of a bed for the night?'

Might have worked, too; depends on how much cider she'd had.
