    Issues with Virgin website. Getting told they can't recognise me. I'm guessing it's an over capacity issue but i've never had that kind of response before :s

    It does happen from time to time. What do you have with Virgin? If it is your phone, do you use it regularly?

    To be fair, the BBFC do state exactly why they gave it a 15 certificate.

    But ANY 15 rated film is so classified because of ...

    strong violence
    frequent strong language (eg 'f***').
    portrayals of sexual activity
    strong verbal references to sex
    sexual nudity
    brief scenes of sexual violence or verbal references to sexual violence
    discriminatory language or behaviour
    drug taking

    IF it didn't contain the above it would be a 12A or less

    I had got mine by 12:08 without any issue :)

    Well, of course you know that and I know that but in this instance it seems some didn't.

    However, had they checked it says

    Contains strong language, sex references, nudity & drug & alcohol misuse

    Bit of a long shot but ... I'd like to make an online purchase but am overdrawn at the moment and was wondering if someone would tell me their credit card details, so that I could place my order immediately?!?!? I only need the card number, the PIN, the start & end dates, the 3 digit security number, AND of course the name as it appears on said card and your address.
    Perhaps we could swap?
    If you're willing, I'd really appreciate it! PM me
    You go first .....

    I was sooooo tempted to PM you just for fun:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    We were having this discussion the other day so thought I would ask here also. Is it OK to go to the cinema on your own? :huh:

    I've been going to preview films for some time now and have always taken someone with me. There a couple of forthcoming movies which I want to see but none of my friends seem to be keen on or cannot make the showing date/time so I'm thinking I don't want to miss out, maybe I go on my own BUT then will I be the one everyone is looking at thinking she's on here own. :undecided

    I often go by myself, I see others doing the same. I'm with friends tonight but I never let it stop me from going if someone doesn't want to come with me.

    Yes, definitely, it's fine to go on your own! I quite often do if my other half is stuck at work and none of my friends can make it at short notice. I don't like missing out either! Go and be independent!

    Tenth Anniversary
    I go on my own sometimes.

    It's not as though you can chat to people during the movie anyway - plus, it means you don't have to share your sweets :)

    Are there any other Newcastle people on here?
