    OK, sorry for posting a few days ago on the cinema code thread and upsetting everyone...I didn't realise.

    Anyway I haven't had any emails from SeeFilmFirst for several weeks now and I used to be getting them every few days. Apparently this is a known issue. Can someone please tell me what I should do about it, or if it's already been discussed on this thread, point me to where?

    Thanks.

    Never seem to have had many e-mail from SFF. I'd recommend subscribing to the codes only thread and set up the alert, so when a new postismade you recieve an notification

    It is with the great sadness that I am posting this however it is the only way I know how to reach her fellow film fans.
    Earlier today the person you know as Poochface was rushed to hospital, my mother went with her in the ambulance where the paramedics struggled to resuscitate her. Sadly she was pronounced dead on arrival. I realise that this will be a great shock to those who befriended her but I had no other way of letting some of her online friends know.
    oh my goodness that is terrible, thank you for letting us know. respects to her friends and family.

    [STRIKE]I don't usually post here but I did have a look to see what the problem was with alert emails from the codes thread.

    Anyway, that doesn't matter and pales in comparison to what I now learn about Poochface and her recent demise.

    I didn't know her on a personal level but I can see, and respect, the time she has committed to bring pleasure to those on this forum. Therefore I would like to extend my condolences to all her family and friends at this time.

    R.I.P.[/STRIKE]

    False alarm. Thankfully!
    Life's what you make it....

    "I've got one, two, three, [STRIKE]four[/STRIKE], [STRIKE]five[/STRIKE]... senses working overtime..", XTC. :sad:

    Life beyond voluntary work scares me, but what else is there? :cry:

    Unfortunately at this time I refuse to believe this post to be genuine.

    rboki only joined today and accordingly has only made 2 posts (1 now deleted), both identical (as quoted) and posted on the 2 free cinema tickets threads.

    Both were posted before 5pm this afternoon.
    At that particular time the "last activity" for Poochface was 3:10 pm TODAY.

    The timeframe and urgency to announce her demise on this site struck me as rather odd.

    Now I look and Poochface was ACTIVE on the forums at 6:30pm

    That's 90 minutes after rboki broke the sad news.


    Maybe she responded to an alert from the Codes Only thread posting of her death - which was quickly removed - and just logged in to check .....

    The whole thing smells of cercopithecoid or platyrrhine excreta.

    Hope I'm right.

  • I thankfully missed all the commotion yesterday evening.

    Then I log onto to find this tonight. What is going on?

    I'm with quoia in thinking something just doesn't add up.

    You did the right thing asking if anyone going to return tickets, so you can nab them upon cancellation.

    I used the following codes (all showfilmfirst), but had no joy:

    727899
    666786
    637119

    I would suggest that you keep trying though, as someone might cancel last minute.

    Fingers crossed that you get.

    The reports of Poochface's demise are greatly exaggerated. I am talking to her right now over the phone.
