Tell us about the time the fairground came to town and you were sick in a hedge; or when you went to a theme park or circus and were sick in a hedge

Visiting the battle of the Somme and other such areas. In the town we were staying there was a funfair. It had one ride that was worth going on. It went totally upside down, me and a mate went on this ride. At the top when I was totally upside down all the stuff in my pockets fell out. When the ride stopped I got all my stuff back. It was awesome.

He visited the "battle of the Somme", if his school can time travel the small matter of moving international borders is childs play.

is it some kind of masstransiant matter shifting interregional device?
if so
It's something we ourselves have been working on for quite some time
But it seems our friend here has found a means of perfecting it
A device which is capable of breaking down solid matter and then
Projecting it through space, and who knows, perhaps even time itself

saw its borders move almost constantly for a hundred or so years, most particularly during the Great War from whence these battlefields date, this must be just about the most mindnumbingly stupid piece of pedantry ever posted on the internet. Congratulations. Have a balloon.
Or a walloon.

The France/Belgium one was pretty stable. And I already have a walloon.

I'm not sure you could apply the word "stable" to any of the borders of modern Belgium until after the second world war.
They should declare the whole area as a national cross-frontier theme park and allow people to drive tanks around it and blow shit up. BATTLE WORLD. Don't pretend that wouldn't be ace, walloon or no walloon. It's worth sacrificing an entire nation for that level of awesome.

It's built on the site of Passendaele battlefield. If you stand at Hooghe crater on a summer's day all you hear is the screams from the park. Such a wasted opportunity. Is it in the Jasper Fforde books where they have Somme World?

but if he agrees with my idea about turning the historic battlefield of Europe into a WAROMG! theme park then he is clearly a gentleman of great mind.
