I've never owned the Jaguar that I have lusted after, and I have just dis-owned my son for buying one.

Ah rubylady I don't think I'd fancy the big one, or even a little one. I'm really not keen theme park rides. I have been to Blackpool though many years ago. Good memories to keep you warm in the midst of winter ruby

ruby I've been in a helicopter twice but even looking up at that Big Dipper put the fear of god in me.
And the only thing I've been banned from was the westcliff casino in Southend, and I used to work there! Cheek of it grin

rubylady Tue 15-Nov-16 21:11:01

morethan2 The Big One is the tallest roller coaster in the UK, although in 1994 it held the title for the tallest and fastest in the world. I'd always said I would never go on it, but I did, on a purely selfish visit without kids but a great day out with my ex boyfriend. We went on three times, it was fantastic and glad I have done it because since now having another heart condition, I have been banned from theme parks!

hulahoop Sorry can't resist... have you used a hulahoop? Brings back great memories from the 1950s and now I see kids with them like them have discovered sliced bread or something.

Doubt I could do it now.... hmm

Just a bit of fun Jaxie you don't have to join in

It's funny isn't it - a whole lot of stuff (probably 90 % of most posts ) that others haven't done I have, and a lot of you have done what I haven't ?

Jaxie Tue 15-Nov-16 10:51:33
