In the Daily Mail yesterday there was a list of different things that people have said make them happy. One was: Sneaking cheap snacks into the cinema. I thought about this and, really, it is a damn cheek that cinemas don't allow people to take in snacks from outside, but make you buy their own over-inflated crap. Not that Mr. E. and I pay any attention anyway, and always smuggle in drinks and sweets, but it annoys me that these people can be so high-handed.  |

Don't forget the drinks though. I find Caprisun fits easily in the handbag. I remember going to Saturday Morning Pictures when I was a little girl. It used to terrify me - all those kids screaming and hollering. I hope you won't be screaming and hollering tomorrow, BB. |

Haven't been the pics for years, but yes, snacks were always smuggled in, it was part of the experience as far as I am concerned - That was a tradition that was started by my gran when she used to take all of us grand kids to see things like "Star Wars" and stuff. I was always a sucker for "Westlers Hotdogs" though when I started going on my own money...they'd show the add and I'd be straight down to the foyer to buy a few...got me every time.  AH |

PERSONALllllyyyyy.. i go to the cinema ( well, i havent beeen for AAAGGES..) but wheENN i go to the cinema i go to watch a film, NOT to eat. Although i wouldn't half mind smuggling in a cloche containing a roast dinner, lamb, roast potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, brocoli, and lashings of gravy.. that would be nice to settle down with and watch a film of a sunday afternoon. Could you pass the mint sauce darling? shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! |

Last time I went it was to the NFT, and anyone eating anything that makes any noise would be lynched, or at least muttered at; I was a bit worried about Fisherman's Friends.
A bloke showed up when the NFT trailer was playing (the only trailer; lasted about 30 secs) and someone hissed, "Should have come at the right time!" Everyone sits through the end titles as well.
Actually, it is a good way to see a film - no chat, no mobiles, no crunching or rustling - bloody good, really.

Oh, and a couple of canldesticks for good measure. |

After an apology, someone ELSE put out a similar thing again to suggest it was last month So we still have 5 years to wait for flying skateboards |

Un-American Grafitti = You can't buy stories like that. 2000AD is the fucking king when it comes to comics...how I wish that I'd not stopped collecting it. AH |

The stupid thing was how much the price kept shooting up and up and up. A dinky comic with, what, 4 or 5 strips in it? (maybe one or two one-page jobbies as well) - I think it went up to 3 spondings when we stopped getting it
I've been collecting the Collected books that focus on strips from one character - mucho better
