    That ride is so cool it's unbelievable. Not scary in the slightest, but just very cool.

    I haven't been to Alton Towers for ages, and Mrs MM is coaster-phobic too - so you have my sympathies chef...

      You have the prospect of a sunny weekend in the beautiful free state of Bavaria, surrounded by ample breasted waitresses serving stiefels of fine beer and you want to go to Alton Towers?

        We go to Alton Towers a lot. My son loves it. Because he is disabled we don't have to queue up - You could take him if you want. You'll get on all the top rides many times over to the point that you'll be sick of them by the end of the day
        Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

        I preferred version 1!

          yes, exactly. your 143 IQ is proving itself

          I have the Bavarian "view" every evening and after a while the roast pork with huge dumpling noodles and litres of bavarian beer shared with the only english guy on this project gets a bit tedius and doesn't compare to being back in my own home watching a movie with gf chef or out having thrills on rollercoasters with gf chef.. gf chef being the common point, just in case you didn't work that out

          edit: when it comes to women, im much more a 'bum man' than a 'breast man'

            I like both. I do rather like the buxom blonde Germanic types, as you would see if you met Mrs Tester.

              why not ask her what she wants to do



              Our neighbour hates spiders. She bought her daughter a toy spider so she would not inherit her phobia. Alas the neighbour cannot bear to touch it and to put it in a toy box flicks it with a broom!

                  I've decided that making her smile would be the better option. I know she wont check her email until this evening so I sent her some flowers to her work with the message "Secret Agent <gf chef> your secret mission details have been sent to you by electronic mail" followed by an email written in the style of a secret agent mission brief beginning with

                  "TOP SECRET: Your mission if you choose to accept it is as follows.."

                  and then goes on to detail the postcode location, the photographs required, suggested fellow agents she might like to take along, plans of the top secret location (map of the theme park) etc etc. I suggested in preparation for this difficult task she should take advantage of the excellent facilities of the local Hilton Spa the evening before.

                  Ending the message of course with "This message will self destruct in 5 seconds.."

                  Uber geeky I know, but I figure it's the best chance I have of convincing her.. and either way she'll be extra nice over the weekend for being imaginative and going to so much effort..

                  we'll see
