Wall or Hazel?

How far do we have to go papa smurph!!!!

Oooh... tricky choice...

I'm with the squirrels on this one.

Any thoughts, Edna?

Got a couple of smurf LP's in the house somewhere from when I was a nipper. I was always concerned about Father Abraham knocking about with the smurfs though. He was a lil' bit old for "beer beer, smurfing beer" dontcha think?

Well i don't know about you but I've always felt like a bit of a Brazil nut myself!

Nice try at restoring Order there, Raz. 馃ぃ

Yes...I remember my last visit to Alton Towers...the sun was shining...the birds were singing...and...

then it rained?

How'd you guess? It happened exactly when were on the log flume...after the 45 minute queue!

I remeber those albums only the one I remember where translated into Norwegian. A huge success in Norway in 1978, me I listen to Deep Purple.

45 minutes in line? Where is the bar

As I said, there's this weird thing about amusement parks.

The only wierd thing about them in my opinion are the clowns. If there are clowns. 馃槇

Actually, it's the entire set up. When you go to an amusement park, on an average day, you spend most of the day in cues. The rides themselves only take a few minutes tops. So all in all, you may only have a 45 minutes of actual fun, and the rest of the day you've been waiting. It's quite masochistic if you think about it.

Depends on a number of factors really.
[list][*]The quality and setip of the queuing area.[*]The quality of the company you're queuing with.[*]Is the theme of the ride something you enjoy.[/list]Obviously I will primarily base my experiences on the Florida parks of Disney and Universal. IN both these parks, especially Universal, most of the big queue rides have great themed queue areas with pre-ride videos and loads of interesting stuff like that.

It's still waiting in a cue.

Why, you playing snooker?
