The Diary Room

That would be an incentive diane to lose weight. I have 2 weddings next year. One is in New Zealand and the other in Jamaica. ONly thing is will a 3 month old want to fly

ooh, you jet setter, tilly!

It's a doddle, they sleep all the time, and you get special treatment from the airlines!

I can't believe I am missing another evening of film plus canapes! I've got the flu and I am feeling sorry for myself. It seems I always feel worse in the evenings, so I am at the stage now where I just lie somewhere groaning "Oh I am so ILLLLL!"

[valda]

Ah cheer up, hopefully it will be gone in a day or so and you can get out and about. don't forget the tube strike tonight so you may have had a hellish time trying to get home x

I have to be at home tonight because I have so much work to catch up on that I can't get done in the office as well as prepare for a presentation tomorrow evening (i hate presenting). Grrrr.

I am absolutely shattered and would just love to sleep all evening.

[Beate]

I admire your optimism but flu does not usually go away that quickly.

When I feel ill I find listening to Rush makes me feel better.

But that's probably just me.

What a load of bull. It was supposed to start at 1pm, we were there at 12.40 to be offered a free popcorn, then the waiting started. "Soon". "In a minute". "Won't be long now." We were FINALLY let into the screening room at 1.30pm to be sitting around for another 10 minutes without anything happening then we get a few stupid ads, then one with Kelly Brook getting up from a sofa in a ridiculous outfit (the feminist inside me was screaming), strapping on a table with beers on them, vanishing through a cinema door, then turning up for real in our screening room! She started handing out the beers, OH got one too. Then they did it a few more times, with the camera at other angles which is when it finally clicked with me that we are being abused for a TV ad without even having given our consent! The OH got another beer before I could stop him, and both times said to Kelly "Thank you darling." He clearly had no idea who she was! I will sue if that bit makes it into the ad.

We finally snuck out when they threatened to do it a fourth time, and waited patiently in the foyer for the others to come out so we could grab our Carlsberg. They had packs of 10 cans stuck up on top of each other but they were held together by foil in double packs so we have just lugged 40 bloody cans of Carlsberg across London! Not sure we should have taken that many but saw other take exactly the same amount. I am totally done in now. I hope our guest likes beer...

soonforgotten, were you in the front row? Saw someone with unruly hair...

Look what I just found:

The Daily Mail gets the time wrong as usual but at least we are not in the ad, my cunning plan of looking bored pa*d off!

What a revolting advert -- sexist rubbish! Remind me NEVER to b*y Carlsberg beer.

Hope you're soon feeling better, Beate and that OH is making you lovely soup and cups of tea to help your recovery.

[Beate]

Yeah I know, it's pretty awful - a bloke's wet dream.

OH is feeling a bit poorly too but not as much as me. But then he had the flu jab and I hadn't. Rang NHS Direct earlier and a lovely male nurse just called me back. When I answered the phone he said "Oh! I was expecting a heavy German accent!" LOL, never judge a book by its cover and a person by their name.

Yeah I know, it's pretty awful - a bloke's wet dream.

But just exactly how is it a cinema experience? Where was the film? Someone wrote that on Carlsberg's facebook page after the event, but it was then deleted, not sure whether by Carlsberg or the poster.
