Posted August 10, 2011 I've got two weeks off work starting Monday and I want to go to a theme park. Anyone care to join me? I'm thinking Alton Towers since it's pretty much in the middle of the country. I'm open to suggestions on dates (I know it's short notice, but meh. Thought I'd ask). Any takers?

Posted August 10, 2011 I am in a land in a far away place where the caravan camels roam. Where it's flat and immense and the heat is intense, it's barbaric, and shit ain't home. Honestly, you picked the worst time bro, I would except I'm not in England for another month yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 10, 2011 Alas, I was "encouraged" to take time off. Not much choice in terms of dates unfortunately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 10, 2011 If it coincides with a day off, I will try my hardest to come. Take that any way you like Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 10, 2011 I would come at a different time but there's no chance I'm going to Alton Towers during the summer holidays. You'll get on about 5 rides all day and no doubt have 3+ hour queues! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'll get on about 5 rides all day and no doubt have 3+ hour queues! This. I'd love to come but it seems like a bit of a waste. Maybe if there's a really good deal though. Start of September is best, just after the kids have all gone back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 10, 2011 I've not idea when I'll know about Spotify, but I'll get back to you tomorrow about it, I'm pretty sure they'll tell me quite quickly. But if not I think the end of Aug is pretty much a given, maybe the start of sept? I'll have to see if there's any 2 for 1 around. I'd offer lifts and that, but I don't think there's anyone on here from Cheshire, go figure! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 10, 2011 Actaully Alton hasn't been astronomically busy in the last few weeks. Anyway I can't really come as I'm not taking any time off at my job for the time being. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd offer lifts and that, but I don't think there's anyone on here from Cheshire, go figure! I can only really do 13th - 29th August since that's when I have off work. I can offer lifts too to anyone who is in the Oxfordshire/Northamptonshire area or anywhere between there and Alton Towers. Equally, if anyone wants to get the train to Banbury, I can drive them the rest of the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 10, 2011 Then pick a date between the 13th and 29th then, fool. Well, I'm waiting for Peeps to let us know when his time off work is so that it doesn't end up being just us two! 'Fess up, that's exactly what you want, isn't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 10, 2011 I'll put myself down as a maybe, if we can get at least a 2for1/half price offer. Also can give lifts for anyone in the sheffield/nottingham area (petrol contributions will be appreciated [read:expected]). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 10, 2011 Well I can't make 16th, but don't take me into consideration if that's better for everyone else as I'm not a definite. Is the 17th any better? I just picked the 16th because I'm impatient. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
