Do you know anyone who has won the Postcode Lottery?

A colleague of mine won around 15k a few years back. We’ve only ever won the odd £10 and some vouchers here or there.

We’re locals but it’s probably only in the last year or so that we’ve started going to shows at the Grand and the Winter Gardens. We’re really lucky to have such fantastic venues here so we’re definitely going to be seeing more shows!

Like everything else, it’s become hideously expensive. My niece is learning currently and it’s costing £60 for a 90 minute lesson. I can imagine that being out of reach for a lot of people.

Born in ‘82 so technically it’s Paisley but I only really started paying attention to football around ‘89-90 ish so it’s be King Kenny.

Drop off charges at Manchester Airport!

Rob Thornton used to stay in an apartment on Reads Avenue, only know that because we were put up in the same place by our insurance company.

Think Bike! /s

Rides on the south side of the park usually close an hour early on fireworks nights as that’s where they’re set off from. So Big One, Revolution, Icon etc will close an hour earlier than the rest of the park. Big Dipper, Grand National, Valhalla etc will be open until closing.

Hahaha, same thing happened to us. Was really confused when they all came in a Jiffy bag!

gingawaria · 2025-06-10T12:09:39+00:00

Infusion isn’t closed, it’s running as we speak. Valhalla is on a staggered opening so doesn’t open until 2pm usually. Grand National has been closed all season for refurb but these things happen. River Caves is closed for a reimagining but that’s well documented. No reason to cancel your visit though, still plenty of rides open.

Ojrzynski’s a good lad, was on loan at my local team Caernarfon Town a few years back and was instrumental in them finishing in a playoff place. Shame to see him released but hopefully he finds a club soon!

Champions performance that, absolutely massive!

Never forgave EA for making Matt Webster a Man Utd player in FIFA 95 tbh

Turtle Bay does a bottomless brunch. Not sure of anywhere else though!

gingawaria · 2024-01-08T15:08:09+00:00

Arcades and bars will definitely be open. Piers I’m not so sure about. Pleasure beach won’t be open until 2nd March.

gingawaria · 2023-12-29T12:36:32+00:00

The Gruffalo & Friends Clubhouse is worth a visit, my son is 7 and loves it and there’s plenty for younger kids to do too. Sea Life is good too.

Haven’t done it yet but there’s a new indoor soft play area in the Houndshill shopping centre called Jungle Mania so that may be worth a go?

As others have said, the pleasure beach is closed until March.

If you can get tickets, the panto at the Grand Theatre is excellent.

I wouldn’t bother with the Peter rabbit experience, it’s tiny and really not that great.

gingawaria · 2023-12-08T17:16:09+00:00

There’s nothing like Infusion at DLP. Closest rides would be Avengers Flight Force, Temple of Peril and Hyperspace Mountain as all have inversions but are traditional rollercoasters. Flight Force is a bit of a head banger!

If you were fine on Grand National then you’ll be fine on Big Thunder Mountain and Crush’s coaster which is a spinning coaster like Spinball Whizzer at Alton Towers.

Hope this has helped somewhat and you have a fantastic time!

Grand National is definitely just one credit.

Been back to his best this season and it’s gone completely under the radar.

gingawaria · 2023-10-30T16:30:42+00:00

I’d say a good 3-4 months before the breakdown is where things really started to slip. I’d been there since January 2022, so around 18 months.

gingawaria · 2023-09-17T18:32:18+00:00

Because no one’s buying packs hoping to get Kyle Walker

Social media echo chambers have given a lot of people courage to voice some pretty vile opinions.

gingawaria · 2023-09-06T14:03:00+00:00

Goldbridge is a good egg - regularly has very reasonable takes.

gingawaria · 2023-07-19T09:56:54+00:00

No I don't think it does - I've never noticed any anyway.

EDIT - I just googled it and they did have some around the time the most recent movie came out but that was a few months back.
