Gosh, zero for me this week, and whilst I wouldn't mind one or two films, a whole week-full would be too much the other way.

Was planning to see I Wish (another film no-one here admits to seeing) this afternoon but decided I was too tired after a very late night last night. I think you need to be young and/or have lots of stamina to go out on so many evenings in succession!

Then again, Ms Thrifty, some us haven't managed two 20 mile hikes/walks this week as you have! As for stamina I think you everyone on FMUK well beaten.

20 mile hikes/walks!

Free line-up for me on Thursday -

The 39 Steps - good show, not quite as manic as the Murder Before Christmas but good fun. It would have helped to have seen the movie it is based on first, of course.

Siro-A - much better 2nd time. I suspect I dropped off last time halfway through and missed a bit of the show. Its not the show, but the music thats a bit repetitive, if you aren't into that genre of sound.

South Bank Centre Future Music Concert - just plain wierd, and a bit anal with the rules (no food in the auditorium, even a drink) but hey it was free.

Parade - Lamda's full blown musical is pretty awesome, concerning the subject of American Kangaroo Court Law in early 20th century. I wont say anymore than that, but for a freebie this is awesome (even if the quality of singing is rather variable lol). Go see it before it ends! Just be prepared, it can get quite gruesome.
fav 5 films of the year - Tenet, Bill n Ted 3, Invisible Man, JoJo Rabbit, ?

Blimey, foxes are noisy. There's one stood in the middle of the road just screaming.

That sounds brilliant, raj101, and all on Thursday, when I am actually looking for things to do in London! However, I've seen 39 Steps recently and am not into concerts. Have a couple of fringe plays in mind but waiting to see whether any last-minute film previews/free theatre tix come up.

I had an altercation with 2 foxes last year, I thought it was a lady screaming so dived out of bed only to find the pair of them after my cat and my goodness they are brave. It was a real eye opener but there was no way that I was letting them get Liquorice. :twisted:

Mega impressed with your 20 mile hikes MsThrifty o/ I really need to to more exercise outside as you feel amazing afterwards.

Fox howling does sound like a woman being murdered ! BTW, cool name for a cat. I like Chairman Meow myself.
