Now when I was little I'm sure I remember films having intermissions where you would go a loo and buy popcorn like the theatre. Al said he's sure of this too - so why does it nolonger happen?
Surely if a film is over an hr and 1/2 there should be a break some where - preferially the middle. Now I remember being cuaght out with this one when I wnet to see a five hr film at the cinemar - no break large coke etc....
What are they thinking - the last three times at least that me and Al have been to see a film we have both practiclally run out as soon as the credits start due to pressing bladder problems and one of those times we didnt even have drinks on the film with us!! (so bangs goes that solution!). Now surely they would make more money having the breaks? They take your tickets at lots of cinemars before yiou get to the bar and sweets area so no problem there plus people would finnish their food etc.. and want more?
Is it the 21 st century concentration span that is at fualt - would people loose the thread of the film if there was a break? Or is it that they would only be able to show the film say four times a day instead of five, and the extortionate price of the tickets means they would rather do that - fear that is there isnt a film starting every ten minutes they would loose customers? I dont think they would becuase you look up the times before you leave or take pot luck on what you are going to watch and watch what evers stating next. I dont mind wondering about for 1/2 before a film starts - sigh.
This post is about a week late - but the Blues Brothers Reloaded were good and I even danced with Catarina (apologies for spelling I dont know how to spell it!) and Clair. The band did start about 1 1/2 hr late but then people were tardy turing up due to the disastorous fotball. Which has me and Clair planning the next world cup song.
Poor Clair had desperatly arranged everything so she would be here with plenty of time for kick off when traffic delayed her by several hrs - she just made it in time for us to sort out some way to watch it - then we lost - on penalties as always - she made sure Jean had a thorough sporting education where football is concerned. I dread to think what words Jean might have picked up!
The weather was fantastic!!! So sunny and the sunset was pretty, add in the view from the location and it was fantastic!
The band sounded like they had stuffed up the sound desk but it turned out that all the mid range speakers were out but it wasn't the amplyfier at fualt, nor the leads etc.. it was a complete mistery - Al and Gavan failed to sort it as did the sound engeineers. Still I've heared worse from more professional people at more professional events!
The bands warm ups and sound checks were in my opinion better than the concert but thats only becuase they were playing metallica etc... Mum had a cool hat which I kept pinching - very in with the band it was 🙂
JEan apparently devoured over half a pig roast roll and couldnt get enough of the tomatoe juice I'd brought along - however she did end up covered in the tomatoe juice and Mum had a little accident with her LARGE glass of it! Its a bit scary to see your 10 month old duaghter covered in red ozzy stuff when you dont know the tomato juice has even been opened!.
My poor Brother and Michelle (his girly) their train ran late so they mossed a connection - blah blah blah - you know the normal story and they arrived just when the concert was supposed to be finnishing but becuase it was all running really late they actually arrived in the intermission!
Anyway I think everyone enjoyed it 🙂
p.s. I forgot to mention that Al and Gavan set fire to my citranella bucket 🙁 They made paper wicks and created an inferno - poor bucket - thier excuss - we were trying to uncover the wick! I had told them they could us a match as a wick as the real wick had been swamped in wax - but no! They got carried away and now the handle etc.. is black 🙁 I love fire but not if it ruins my buckets 🙁
We have now put the photos up in the posts
Kittens,
Toad, and
Shrew.
They are cute - go look!
We have KITTENS!!!!!
Two little black and whites - called Hydrogen and Helium 🙂 Hydrogen has one black leg with a little white soc where as Helium has two white front legs 🙂 So they fit their names quiet well 🙂
Last night I ended up buried in kittens that after being stroked to carmthem down decided that my shoulder was the place to be 🙂
They are pouncing everything, including my hand I stupidly dangled!
They are 10 weeks old and were part of a litter of four - they are pretty inseperable so everyone was glade thaat we wanted both to keep each other company. Hydrogen instantly went for an explore when we got them home but Helium is shy and very scared of Jean who atempts to get the 'cuddles' and when denied this through her toys at them!
Things are starting to come together now 🙂 Now all we need isx a few more cats - some ducks and bees..... 🙂 🙂 🙂
