Hello campers, it is I, Paul hughes Space adventurer with another blog update at long last, My appolgies for it being so long inbetween updates, however As I will expain it has been a hetic few days. What’s worse, is that the promised mini saga is now longer, and I will post about the whole tragic affair, those who know me will know some of the story already, but for others, eastenders has got nothing on me atm! LOL!

Thursday was Salsa Dancing Night at Joshua’s in Telford: Now before anyone shoots me down for being a poof, let me tell you something right now, which for some of you will be a slice of fried gold: This is an untapped resource for lovley ladies, who WANT to dance with you and of course Salsa involves close contact, which you can imagine is a boon for a pervert like me! Of course you still get the Jabba the hutts and the jolly green giants, but the chance to dance with gorgoues women can not be taken lightly!!

Saturday, I went to Alton Towers with friends from DTS (that’s Desktop Services btw) and I must say it was a fantastic day out. The last time i was there was when I was on “Time-Out” at School, glyn mate, you should remember that!! Anyhoo, we set off from telford at half 8, got to the Towers at around half 10, where i did something I have never done before: been on a rollarcoster that goes upside down! I have always had a fear at the back of my head, being silly, that I would fall out of the rollarcoster when we went upside down!!

The one that broke me in was Nemesis, and my fear turned into all out panic!! but we moved with such force that you stayed exactly where you were in your seat! It was increadible and i really enjoyed it though my stomuch didn’t agree with me! After that we all went on AIR, the Pirate Ship thing and the Haunted House, which they seem to have turned into House of the dead, where you now shoot the dead things as you go around! Quite cool though i got the lowest score 🙁 I made for that though on House of the Dead 4 arcade game, which i jumped for geeky joy at when i saw it. DOH!

But I also achieved something else I had never done before: I threw up on the water rapids!! the rides before had not agreed with my breakfast and the rocking of the water, on one of the tamest rides in Alton towers had sent me over the top. I managed to just send it overboard, yes I was still in the boat at the time with everyone else! Afterwards though I was fine, so carried on.

Rita, Queen of Speed, was fantastic, 0-60 in about 3 seconds, and we screamed with delight all the way around, though i must admit it was over too quick (cue fonzi catchphrase). Other highlights of the day include, being able to push in front of people for free thanks to Dave Lawrence (DTS guy with one arm), being annoyed about HEX, when Middleton kept on and on about I will be sick again and it goes upside down etc, whereas in fact in the end, the walls moved one way and the seats rocked back and forth. It was an optacal illision, and half way through i asked “Is that it?!?!”. We also stopped at the Hogs Head pub for a Pint and funky chips, all fooled the guessing guy (he got my weight wrong hahaha the gym paying off, along with my heavy ass jeans and pockets full of crap!)

We went home about 6 and I spent the rest of the weekend being very lazy, watching episodes of the practice, sandwiching in episodes of “Everybody Loves Raymond”, also got more earache in the Mini-Saga, and finally after 4 weeks, cut the grass in the front garden. HOORAY!!
