I was injured at fair when i was young, i got a smack to the head off a pilkey for rocking one of them machines where you try to get the 2p pieces to fall off the edge ![]()
Yer it did... scary thing is, my missus was next in line at the time aswell.... shut the ride and needless to say, we went home!!

I went to the fair last night, I remember it being magical as a kid, just found it dirty and full of drunken chavs. Is this a new thing or do you just not notice them when you're a kid.'" In our days people drank proper beer not the water down pi== and people behaved better and enjoy themselves and had respect for others |

if that doesn't work try the first 4 mins of the film "Final Destination 3" that will put anyone off fairs for life.
