I've heard tell there are entire forums out there, containing a multitude of threads.

chat thread is the cool place to hang out. You can find most of the cool people there. In chat thread you can just chill and do whatever and totally relax. "Take it easy" is the chat thread motto, for example, that's how laid back it is there. Show up if you want to have a good time. Another good reason to show up is if you want to hang out with friends.

Seems like a bad idea in school holidays. Go on a damp Wednesday in October instead, tiny queues and if you time it right you can even do the Halloween late opening thing

I mean I'd still go if work was paying

Hard agree. I went for the first time since I was a kid for my birthday last year (midweek in mid September) and the place was almost empty despite the weather being good. Rode nemesis three times in an hour, Oblivion about the same.

gently caress that was a good day.

Yeah we did a trip to Alton Towers on a Thursday in September or October for Business Studies. We had a half-hour talk about the business side of running a theme park and learned precisely gently caress-all, then spent about 7 hours just doing whatever in the park. I think me and my mates went on Oblivion 8 times, among lots of other things. Most rides you could go on it, walk straight back around through the empty queue and be back on it again within about 5 mins. Was probably the best "school" day I ever had.

Eh it's a free corporate event. Mostly they trap us in a field somewhere with free booze while management's kids go berserk and you slowly watch all the HR incidents popping off. They already did that this year, so now we go to a different place!

We used to have the IT team building thing in an expensive outdoor venue. Then they realised people actually prefer the cheap option of going to the local park for the day, playing some silly games, and going for an amble under some team building pretext.

They discovered this because one year there was no money so they couldn't go to the expensive site, and it turned out everyone had much more fun and were more engaged at the park.

It always feels to me like a way of passing more of the costs onto your guests.

I went to one when I was in my late 20s where the bride and groom were absolutely delighted that "It was 30% cheaper than a Saturday" - yeah, because you've passed the cost on to me, a self employed contractor who now isn't working on Wednesday/Thursday.

I dunno, next week I have to go to a three day wedding across the entire bank holiday. Now /that/ is a selfish move. Got three seperate events that I’m having to scramble people to cover rather than just doing them myself.

Also my marriage is Not Doing Well and I’m loving dreading the entire thing emotionally but that’s a whole different kettle of fish.

Dodged my cousins wedding that wanted to have it in a church in Italy and 2-3 day weekend stay over. Instead of her home town that was 45 min drive max for most of us.
£1500 per person, and that's not including the suits/dresses, present to the couple, self catering, and whatever else expenses while there.
Got delayed by a few years due to a sickness in the family, and in the end only two per family went(as by that time had saved for it).

Everyone knows that you have to be born on a Monday, christened on a Tuesday, married on a Wednesday, and die on a Saturday.

Very inconsiderate of anyone to do otherwise, messes up the schedules.

I think weekend spaces get booked up way in advance so if you want something a bit sooner then weekdays are the only option. also cheaper etc.

I got married on a Saturday, but made half the guestlist travel transatlantic, because gently caress them.

Or to put it another way, I didn't make anyone do anything because people are free to do whatever they want, and everyone had a great time
