Oh my gosh that's gone quick and to be honest doesn't look in bad condition - just wish I could say the same about the breaking down situation..

I saw someone wearing an Oblivion hoody. I don't know who they are, but I decided I wanted to be their friend.

Oh dear.

Natalie Tran speaks perfectly well about inner geekiness, strangers wearing clothes relating to that geekiness and wanting to be that stranger's friend here.

"Be my friend!"

I've always secretly hoped that some enthusiast would recognise my brown Oblivion hoody. Not happened yet though, will be a great day when someone does! The enthusiast community must be underground by the number of times I've worn it with no comment.

I doubt they were. Probably just bought it because they needed to buy something warm on the day.

For the past couple of days, I've been in some rather boring employability stuff at uni. Yesterday (Wednesday), we had to do group presentations, and one group chose to build a theme park from scratch near Newquay, with the aim of it becoming the biggest theme park in the UK by 2025. I brought up Alton Towers when there was a period of time for questions, stating that their plans were way too ambitious. Towers took 16 years or so to become a 'resort' from opening in 1980 to when ATH opened in 1996 (correct me if I'm wrong), and there was a site ready. With their concept, it was theoretically 13 years from selecting a site, getting permissions and the start of construction to being bigger than Towers. I just thought 'No, this isn't possible at all', and I felt that I needed to say something. :P Also, their pricing structure was frankly ridiculous - £60 for an adult! As odd as it sounds, it felt good to put my theme park knowledge to good use.

Also, their concept of the park was very similar to that of Europa-Park. I was going to pick up on this, but another student did before I got the chance, which surprised me somewhat (I don't know why), but it honestly made me smile.

I'm aware that this is a departure from the normal style of posts in this topic, but it's still relevant, in that the information I used was what I've learnt thanks to TTF.
