I know I can't decide, I've already got a ticket for 'going the distance' on the 22nd, but that's clashing with 'the switch' but we're expecting a code for that on the 24th I think but maybe there'll be another scott pilgrim!

Thanks ;)

I wonder if WIQ to Greenwich would be possible? But, thinking about it, if SP starts at 18:30, has a 112 minute running time, that takes us to 8pm. I doubt I can even get there in half an hour.

Decision decisions, I think I might go with Going the Distance and hold out for another Scott Pilgrim code.
I am sticking with SP as it's earlier on and closer to home. I am going to GTD on Sunday and hoping for the TF code for The Switch.

You could get there on time providing a) WIQ start on time and they tend to be 5-10 mins late and b) you run as fast as you can to CW Underground station which is quite abit of a fair walk from WIQ (unless you are lazy like me and take the DLR to Canary Wharf). I think you'd be cutting it fine though and be very very tired.

I am sure there will be. There are already three different dates for this film!

:D
which is all fine unless it's a code you're trying to post and then all the MSE/HDUK lot get the tickets while you're clicking on pop-ups..

I wonder if the pop-up thing is possible to have with a message, I have a vague memory of forums where you do have to confirm the post via pop-up.

I would get frustrated with such a method as it would get long trying to post a code, which is difficult if doing from an iPhone.

Perhaps should only apply to newbies up to a certain post count until they learn the rules as they tend to be unfamiliar with FF rules. It is very rare for others to post chat.

:giggle: I was kidding people!!!! Dear god, pop-ups suck!!! :giggle: Besides, as elski said, we wouldn't get any tickets at all, which defeats the whole purpose. :p I'm gonna stick to simply deleting the naughty posts and having a quiet swear session :p It gives me a chance to practice all the dirty words I know in foreign lingo :p always welcome :giggle:
