I was round a friend’s house on Friday night having a few beers and a general catch up, and he was saying how he has started playing a bit of online poker. He says he made about £20 last week over the £15 he put in his account. He was trying to get me to sign up to play online poker so that we can play against each other when we’re both online.

Alton Towers was great till rained slightly during the morning, but we soon dried out as they have these drying units similar to posh swimming pools. We paid around £2 to use them but they dried you off really quickly. The afternoon was better still as it was slightly warmer and the sun was out so the weather was perfect.

The queues weren’t that bad either, Nem was around 20 minutes and so was Air, Oblivion was around 10 as we went at lunch time.
Lunch wasn’t all that expensive and probably only cost me around £15 which was less than I thought. We probably spent around 7 hours there and even managed to get on some rides twice.
