    I'm surprised that nobody seems to have mentioned going to see this last night, I almost didn't make it to the cinema as I hadn't been too well but decided to make myself go and I'm very glad I did. I was convinced that I had seen this film but I must be getting it confused with something else entirely as none of it seemed familiar.

    I got there shortly before 6pm only to be told we had to wait a little while before we could go up. When we got to the screen, we had a short gold carpet to walk along and we were given a gold ticket and told that we could check our numbers inside. Once inside the young lady who met us told us that there was a problem with the safe. It kept locking out after a few wrong numbers were entered, similar to when an atm machine locks you out if you get your pin number wrong a certain amount of times. The staff told us to take our seats and they persevered with each of our tickets in turn, mine was the last tried and at the same time one of the staff told us that someone in our screening would definitely win a prize and that we would all be given a second ticket, I received the last ticket only to see that I had the winning number when the number was read out. I was stunned, I walked back down to the safe and sure enough my number opened it. I made it clear that I couldn't go on a holiday because of my health problems so it turned out that I had won a gold plated cyber shot camera worth £600. :j After having my photo taken a zillion times and claiming my prize officially, I went back inside to watch the film and eat my free Magnum Gold, which was delicious. :)

    The film is excellent and for those of you who have tickets to see if next Thursday, please go, you won't regret it. Sadly our screening was sparsely
    attended and the lovely Magnum promotional staff were disappointed. I really did enjoy the film, so much so that I intend to go again next week, hey maybe I'll win another prize ;) On our way out, we were all given another Magnum Gold plus a voucher for 50p off a purchase of the new Magnum Gold. I ate my second ice cream on the way home but I was beginning to wilt part way through as it is very rich. One as a treat is fine but I could never eat two in a few hours of each other again. Nobody could ever moan about getting your money's worth with a Magnum, not like some confectionary etc that seems to get smaller but dearer year by year whilst the good old Magnum is still the same size it ever was.

    All in all, I had an excellent day yesterday as I also received my cheques from kgb. My friend suggested I buy a Lottery ticket. It's amazing what a bit of good luck does for a person, today was the first day all week that I've felt well, mind you the lovely sunny warm weather helps too.:cool:

    Thanks Dotty. I've just heard from a friend who went to see the film elswhere in the country and she won the gold plated MP3 player.:j

    I'm so pleased for her, she's not only a good friend but very kind-hearted and a lovely person. Couldn't have happened to a nicer person.:T

    Damn the Man, Save the Empire!
  • Just left the 7.30 showing of The Irish American performance at Kings Place. Many thanks to whoever posted details of the free tickets (no honestly it is much appreciated when people go to the effort).

    Unfortunately we didn't enjoy tonights show that much... the music was.... umm.... interesting! And a bit too jangly for our tastes. Seriously was it some sort of social experiment or something? We kept on looking around for the hidden cameras to catch our reaction.

    I think I really should have listened to who we were going to see before getting the tickets :)

    Great venue though would love to hear someone more mainstream in that hall. It must be a wonderful sound stage.

    Hot Tub Time Machine is showing in Middlesbrough on May 4th. See the codes thread. If you don't have tickets, keep trying as they often release more tickets and tickets are returned too.
