  1. Your comments imply you have never been... I know there is quite a bit of false snobbery on here at times, but the facts remain it is the most popular holiday destination in the world. Now the fact that I use the word popular will in itself bring snobbery out in some. We then have people (stands to be corrected) such as yourself who slag the place off without actually having being there. Seriously I do understand that different people have different requirements from a holiday, but most families can have endless fun in Florida whether it is planning your stay to coincide with a space launch (as we have done twice) or the fantastic climate, the shops, the food restaurants are fabulous, the "have a nice day" service you receive is fantastic. Then there are the theme parks, water parks, sea world with its killer whales, manatees etc etc When I went the first time I dreaded the theme parks because i dont really like or trust fair rides. They are a world away from a fairground and drenched in Disney magic. Of course the world is full of places to visit but most families who are lucky enough to afford it, choose florida again and again. Been twice mate, shan't be going again. Had a dream holiday when I was a bairn, then we went back when I was a teenager. Both times we had Florida as part of a larger holiday and both times I felt under-awed by it. Even as a kid I was never a massive fan of theme parks, I had more fun in the other places. The Bahamas was amazing even as a kid, and Yellowstone was unbelievable. We went to Rodeos and huge fairs (fayres?)in Colorado. Went snorkelling in the Bahamas and yet Florida was, to me, a glammed up Blackpool with better weather. Nothing there stood out except a Hollywood Lightning Storm. Honestly the things that you're marking as things to do in Florida, you can also do in California (bar the Shuttle launches); the climate, the shops, the restaurants, the service. It all exists in California, but with more variety and quality. I not saying it's impossible to have a good time in Florida, I'm just saying that you can do all that and more elsewhere. Like I said, if you're crossing the Atlantic, you may as well go that little bit further. I'll also bet that if you can afford Florida and the obligatory Disney trip, you could definitely afford a holiday in Colorado and you'd have more fun. but, I suppose, it's horses for courses. oh and fwiw I'm not bragging/showing off/or whatever else you'd like to claim KD, so don't start. Is the correct answer. One of my dream trips is to go to Hawai and watch Lava falling into the sea! Long way to go like, think its another 6 - 8 hours after Florida. Have no real fancy for these parks such as yellowstone, where bears literally do shit in the woods. could you not do that in Iceland? be closer, colder but closer.
  2. And this one is perfect for when someone says something totally fucking stupid.
  3. Yeah right My opinion, for what it's worth, is that the middle two are ok but the top and bottom ones shite. If they're not little round yellow fellas I don't want to know. Bloody Racists
  4. As long as they can get away with it. Or you could just give the answer you got when you asked the question of the commitee which I don't seem to remember you making such a comment in reply to. Calm down, calm down........Just having a laugh. As you know I have done as you instructed and gone over there to post. However at the moment it feels a bit like me and another lad vs The Committee. And too be fair Pud I have had a reply from Two committee members. One says this year another says next year. Apparrently a meeting MAY take place next week where elections MAY be discussed.

  6. Though this was Newcastle Onlines prison judging by other threads You have to admit though Tom is a fucking brilliant smiley. Go on, im sure you could get it.
  7. Is there any way more smileys can be added. Whilst worshipping Redheugh at Newcastle Online, I have noticed several smileys that I feel would benefit Toontastic. These include.....
  8. Lucky bugger, went to Ontario and didnt see any. Mind it was summer.
  9. Anyone ever seen them? Always been one of my must do's to see them in real life one day.

  11. :D :D :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :icon_lol:
  12. Got to take you to task there..... Orlando is brilliant. Theme parks, water parks, Guns, roaming aligators, Sea world, quality food and lots of lovely old white haired folk. Orlando is absolutely shit in my opinion. If I won a free trip there I'd think twice about going. Swapped it for Cuba didnt we? (Florida not Orlando) I did see a lass start on a bloke in an Irish bar in downtown Orlando a few months back. About the most interesting thing outside work i saw there in nearly 2 weeks. Fucking hell man, the holiday capital of the world and you cant find nowt to do. Get a grip.....or life! etc etc et fucking cetera :D
  13. Just to remind NUSC members the forum is now open and there is some good discussions ongoing about protests or lack of them and the change in direction taken by the interim committee. In particular there has just being one excellent post (unfair to copy and paste from a members only forum to a public forum, before anyone asks.) Anyone who is a member, pop in.

  15. "We can even put you up for the night....."
  16. Thought id seen everything in Florida but fuck me...... Holyland Theme Park http://www.holylandexperience.com/ See Jesus carry his cross! Parables with Jesus! Singalong songs of praise! The Easter experience! You'll return again and again
  17. Id love to know how Stevie can distinguish between who is from Pakistan, Bangladesh or India? Its like being able to tell if someone is English, Scottish or Welsh just by looking at them? Or is he that ignorant that anyone that fits the stereotype in his head is immediately a 'Paki'? Without question and without sounding like I'm a cunt, I'm intellectually superior to you, I've generally always held the view that you are quite dense, pseudo-intellectual almost, your degree means absolutely fuck all, this is a means you've used to justify your superiority over other posters and there is not one person on this message board where you can say attaining a degree is beyond them. I hate saying I'm this and you're that, but I felt the need to due to your typically patronising manner. Of course, I can tell the difference generally you fucking idiot. However are you such a nobhead you're going to lie to people on here, by saying you could tell the difference between people from Northern India and Pakistan/Kashmiri? It's impossible, the same as seeing the pictures of 34 English people 33 Scottish people and 33 Welsh people. You wouldn't get 50 out of 100 and it's not because you're dense, it's because of the genetic make up of the British Isles. Admin, please have a word with Stevie and have these posts carry a warning. I have just laughed / sprayed the computer screen with lager. Cheers Stevie
  18. Got me wondering....... There are people who have the urge to murder, rape etc. There must also be even more people walking around who also have these urges but manage to supress them...Wannabee murderers, rapists. Ie a scale of urges where 1 is saint like and 10 is Jack the ripper, anything over 2 or 3 is potential murderer, rapist. Scary eh and as Hova says.....Discuss
