    I must admit I put my feet up on the chair in front, as long as no-ones sitting on it, don't see a problem

    What about the next person to use the seat your feet have been all over.

    Going to the cinema is no longer a pleasant experience and that is because the staff don't exercise some degree of control. If they did some chucking out then they would get back some of the lost customers. Meanwhile I'll wait for it to come out on Sky or DVD.

    On one of my recent cinema trips, I caught a girl in her late teens/20s scooping pick and mix up with her hands.
    Ask her what the **** she thought she was doing and she looked really confused, like 'what's the problem?', then wandered off with her equally-slacked jawed mate.

    Thats disgusting. Does she not know how expensive those Pix-N-Mix's are? The Trowels are there so you don't buy too much because all the god dam candy has been sitting under lights causing it to melt together so you need the trowel to chip pieces of candy away from the motherclump. And If my Cineworld is anything to go by, they put the nicest candy on the floor so you have to crouch over like a miner digging that stuff up.

    It was the REALLY expensive flavoured nuts and yoghurt-coated fruits some Odeons have in now.

    :mad::mad::mad:

    About £7.65 a kilo, which combined with cinema tickets takes the whole 'experience' to around £120.

    No wonder I was angry.

    Sorry I didn't make it clear, I put my feet up against the back of the chair, not on the actual chair where people sit.

    True story - once when I went to the flicks with my mate, (he boy, me girl) he bought a big bag of pic 'n' mix, put a hole in the bottom, popped his willy in then asked me to dig in. I shrieked. It was very very funny.

    Afterwards, did you and he enjoy the pick and mix? :eek:

    Do you know, I think we did. Those things cost an absolute fortune. Quite frankly, we just carried on dipping in. Waste not, want not!

    There was none of that naughtiness thank you! My hand was literally there for a nano-second and it's a very odd man who can manage to 'achieve' merely by nestling up against some cola bottles and a couple of bon-bons.
