Blackpool - Capital of Culture
Hotel Proprietor: Someone's birthday is it?
Me: No, just a bunch of mates from work.
Proprietor: Do you know Blackpool at all?
Me: Not really, I came once 20 years ago...
Proprietor: [shrugs] - It asn't changed.
Went to Blackpool this weekend for shits and giggles. Blackpool is a classy place, don't let anyone tell you otherwise! We went on quite a few rides at the Pleasure Beach. The good thing about that place is that you are allowed to go on rides when you're drunk, and so I managed one ride that I'd never contemplate when sober. We had to go back there the following morning as The Big One wasn't running on Saturday due to heavy wind (hangovers be damned). The Big one is a massive 220 foot high coaster. I don't do heights, and was a bit weary, but it was really worth it, a great buzz.
Pictures here.
UPDATE - Riley took some video. Here's the "Ice Blast" which is the one which I would never have done sober...
And here's us hurtling round the park on "The Big One"...
