The ones with the big wheels and stuff, I think it's "fair", and I will spell it like this throughout the post.
Anyway, yes, last night the fair was in town. Me and some friends thought, 'yeah, why not? It's a little expensive, but it's an evening out.' and therefore decided to go.
What a weird evening...
a) An urban dweller (chav, hur hur) started on a friend of mine because the chavs brother had started on my friend. Hope that makes sense. Basically, he was angry at my friend for being threatened by his little brother. Riiiight.
b) The weather was utter, utter poo. It was actually a quagmire. If there had been enough sexy ladies then I believe that a mud wrestling tournament would have been an inevitability.
c) We officially proved that a certain 'arcade' game is impossible to win. It was that game where you control, the claw, and it goes down and, hopefully, retrieves your prize. Wrong. We have a video on a friends phone of the claw opening on the way back up, releasing the prize back into the bottom of the case. Now that is a scam.
d) Somebody I know has suddenly become addicted to drink. Now this is no laughing matter, but he's done this to look cool. I'm not even convinced he likes beer. Weird. He's a bit of a socail reject as well; if Mr Burns from the Simpsons and Randal from Recess had a baby, this would be it. Anyway, he came out with some classics, such as his idea of the whole alphabet backwards ("zxyz").
e) For whatever reason, nobody wanted to go on many rides this year. I don't know whether it was seen as 'uncool' or what, but, basically, everyone turned into boring little poofy fagheads.
f) An ex-girlfriend of mine was a little drunk, and we all thought 'this is great, she's going to do something, like flash, perhaps' as she is pretty hot, and, luckily, I got all the attention. She had a hold of me for about half an hour at a time, and kept pinning me up against walls etc, as if about to go a little further. Shame she wasn't a little more drunk really. This was the one main highlight of a truly obscure evening.
g) Another good thing though was that I met a couple of people who I haven't seen in ages. We all know the people that you may class as urban dwellers, but are perfectly fine to talk to on their own. A guy who is a year older than me, called Simon, is one of those that I saw. He's in Year 12, but didn't stay on for 6th Form at my school, so it was good to see him again. Another guy I saw, named Jack, was as surprised to see me as I was to see him. We went to primary school together, and haven't seen each other since. It's about...6 years I think, since I last saw him.
Anyway, yes, a very mixed evening. We did the usuals, offering urban dwellers candy sticks when they asked for cigarettes (always goes down a treat) and pretended to be drunk on Red Bull, but overall, I have no idea wheher I enjoyed myself or not.

The rides are soooo expensive! It's like £2.50 to go on the 'alright' ones and about £4 to go on the best ones! and they only last about 2 minutes. Some people must make a mint on those things. Terrible, tho I think I may be exaggerating when I say £4.
I went on the ride right at the very end, it's a mouse one with cheese or something like that. Anyhoo..it goes up and has a sharp turn when you are at the top of the ride and keeps going. I feels like you are going to fly off into the sea. It's also kinda like one of the rides at Chessington, one when you are in a little wooden cart thingy in the mines or something.
I'll shush now!

There's always a high chance that the rides will dislodge themselves from their fixings and spin off into orbit with half the pier.
Can't remember where or when ... it was a long time ago ... but I remember going on a helta-skelter on the end of a pier - the very, very end of a pier. It was actually leaning right out over the sea. And it was dark, and me and my sisters were the only ones on it.
It was probably not suppused to be open, but twas fun and scary all at the same time.

I've got an easier way. Why don't I just hijack the metal snake?
Pfff.
Save up.
Save up.
Well I don't have enought for the train ticket. Tough luck.
Heh, why not?
We, could all meet there and I could ride on the Helter Skelter.
