And there were a couple in front of us. Every 5min, their friend kept showing up. By 6.30pm there were like 8 or 10 of them (I lost count!) in front of me that started with only 2ppl in the Q. 2 or 3 friends I would understand but the latecomers outnumbered the original person in the Q. If those latecomers didn't cut Q and leisurely joined their friends, OH and I would have been inside watching! And I didn't leave my thesising for nothing
. But we had good dinner thanks to OH....
I'm sorry you didn't get to see the film. I think my bf and I were amongst the last people to get in. I'm guessing that the guys you're talking about were some tall blokes who overtook us while we were trying to get in, which I thought was rude. There were a lot of empty seats at the front, so I don't understand why they didn't let more people in.

Tried to do the competition Elski posted on from the tower heist facebook. Gave up as it requires you to name a 5 man crew. However the way you need to choose is by going through page after page of your friends. Alas I don't want to chose those who's name beginning at the start of the alphabet. Tedious and boring.

Also Falkirk, Dunfermline and Stirling but these are rarely used for free previews.

oh right thanks I'd not got round to looking at what it involved yet. I hate it when any comp or freebie wants you to 'recommend friends' or whatever so I won't bother either. I also don't bother if the app wants access to too many things on your FB account. Luckily the In Time comp only asked for access to your email address and it asked to post as me and I declined for that but it let me take part in the comp.

Just found I had received a virgin winner email, thought I had missed out on tickets for this so a nice surprise with screenings being so thin on the ground at the moment.
