Couldn't help but laugh when I saw your user name "doctorpain" as you are obviously feeling it today! :giggle:

What a shame you can't go but don't give up entering comps as someone has to win!

Thanks......but get this !

After winning the Paranormal Activity tickets for the 28th and not being able to go, on the morning of Friday the 28th I got an email from BFI saying I'd won a pair of tickets to the Final Destination all nighter...again for the 28th when I can't go !!!!!


How's that for luck 8O :blink: :blink:

:daisy: Oops! Seems like my prediction was right of you winning something else but . . . . . what bad luck you can't go again!

I think one of the problems is that there is short notice between being told of a win and the event. :outta:
It's impossible to keep the date free of every event for which you enter a comp in case you win!

Better luck next time!
Preferred cinemas: Best: Glasgow Quay, Glasgow Braehead, Glasgow Renfield Street, Glasgow Fort & Paisley
Others I'd go to: Glasgow Showcase Baillieston

Films already booked for:

Hope to get tickets for: Every film if they come to my preferred cinemas

Yeah this sucks! I've had it happen I was told an hour beforehand and even now I'm waiting to hear back about something but am unlikely to get a response during the weekend and it is for Monday! *grumbles*

Oh no doctorpain, sorry to hear that. But think positively, because you can't go someone else got the chance to go instead! I am sure you will get more wins to something you can go to, just keep on entering! o/
