iIf your grabbing food and ale before hand, won't that mean you will all be peeing every 15 minutes during the show?

I can generally go at least an hour or two between peeing...

Out of interest how do you sleep if you need to pee every 15 minutes?!

Hey guys,
Long time lurker. I'll be heading to the cinema to see the film on Friday too, probably in Reading, but the Mrs wants to go to an earlier showing, so she can meet her friends for some drinks after.

If you're interested, I've got a voucher to get £1.50 off each ticket, it's not much, but it'll fund part of a pint at least...

Might see some of you around soon?

Enjoy!

Thats the initial peeing stage. This then decreases over time, and generally a couple of long pees during the night will be needed after a heavy session. But initial pee records show intervals of around every half hour for the the first 2 hours followed by 20 min intervals for the third. Fourth hour could be up to 45 min intervals.

Table booked for 7:30pm for 7 people at Old Orleans in The Oracle (next to the cinema) and we get a 10% discount off the bill.

Parking is easy at The Oracle - just make sure you use RIVERSIDE car park as the other one (Holy Brook) closes when the shops shut...

That works - they have a fairly large bar area and we'll probably be in there somewhere by 9'ish... I'll PM you my mobile anyway, although I think you already have it?!

John, sorry I can't make it. My wife is totally exhausted as bubba has a cold and has been up for the last 24 hours, my permission to go out has been denied, I'm on baby duties! If you've paid already just give me your paypal details and I'll send the cash across. Rick sorry for the delay in responding, yes to a beer tomorrow if you're about, Mariners?

Cool thanks for letting me know, hope you had a good time.

'New model. Original parts.'

Can't help chuckling at the strap line for the movie, I'm not sure a petrolhead wrote it, makes me think of those old Daewoos, new models on the outside, old Vauxhall parts underneath smile

+1

Was I the only one who drove home a bit quicker than usual, with the stereo way up and a gangster lean on? wink

Pity I was only in my 'Neesan' (beleive that's how it's pronounced)

I live my life 10 seconds at a time. I am a goldfish.

On my way out of Reading i could tell who was coming from the cinema and who wasn't - about half the cars leaving town were driving "in an unusually brisk fashion" biggrin
