Putting smiles on little kids faces at Roker for a few hours dressed up as Sunderland Mascot Samson, must of had over a Hundred photos taken in that time, even took a selfie with Sunderland Ladies Goalkeeper "Hilde Gunn Olsen", safe to say she loves Samson mind as she also wanted me to go on the Beach to play Football, but I was told I wasnt allowed in case I hurt my myself or damaged the suit, other than those few nice moments I didnt enjoy it one bit as I couldnt breathe properly due to something inside the head of the costume digging into my throat, certainly wont be doing it again any time soon.

(27 Aug 2015, 5:58 pm)MurdnunoC I used to love being in costume while I worked at Metroland - it was a right skive.
It's even possible that I may have met one or two of you whilst in costume, I apologise in advance if I made you cry or traumatised you in any way.

(27 Aug 2015, 6:20 pm)GX03 SVC What were you dressed as? I went to Metroland loads when I was little. It felt like yesterday when they were refurbishing Metroland into the Odeon.

(27 Aug 2015, 6:21 pm)MurdnunoC Merlin the Wizard; Some Pink Dragon thing (can't remember the name); and some giant inflatable clown thing.
Probably a bit before your time though, I worked there between 1997 and 2000.

(27 Aug 2015, 6:39 pm)MurdnunoC For me it was a case of 'Be careful what you wish for...'
As a child, I thought it would be a fun place to work. While being in costume was a laugh, operating the rides was excruciatingly boring. The arcades were even worse.
I sometimes have dreams of having to go back there to work :s

(27 Aug 2015, 6:44 pm)aureolin The arcades were quality. I remember the smaller gaming area, which was down in a circular area, near where the RC boats and dodgems were. There was even a WWF Wrestlefest game there. The upstairs arcade area, if I remember, was more a long hall of action games. I wonder what happened to all my arcade tickets?

(27 Aug 2015, 6:49 pm)MurdnunoC Yeah, opposite the stage.
Did you ever sample the R360? - That was the aircraft simulator thing which went upside down. At weekends and during school holidays, a member of staff was allocated to that thing. Eight hours on your feet operating something which punters looked at but rarely used. Being stuck on that was the worst.

(27 Aug 2015, 6:52 pm)aureolin I can't! The ones that stick out from up there were the penalty shoot out game (with the ball on rope), the robotic arm-wrestling machine, and the horse racing game.

(27 Aug 2015, 7:01 pm)MurdnunoC I think those were in the Gallery, the bit connecting the food court to the escalators at the exit of the Yellow Mall.
The dodgems were alright to operate. Decent music and the chance to hang onto the backs of the dogem cars like a true fairground carny!

(19 Aug 2015, 11:58 am)Kuyoyo Well, my laptop basically - Window Explorer has basically stopped working unless my laptop is running in safe mode. So, tonight's task - run it in safe mode and backup all my files plus hopefully some software files just in case it has to be totally reset. What a way to cement the last few weeks as the worse few weeks of my life...........
(20 Aug 2015, 6:33 pm)Kuyoyo And now it won't even load in Safe Mode. So, that's 2 months worth of Photos lost along with my CV and other document
