I don't think the ushers would have seen her if she hadn't been doing it in full view.

Good point.

I also agree with Daggers about people that feel the need to graze through an entire film,

I wish there were cinemas that would just ban food and drink from the auditorium altogether, surely there's a market for that? Like the over-18-only screenings of non-18-rated films which now exist and are a brilliant idea.

I once saw a woman a few seats away from me get a f**king trifle out and start eating it!! I don't mean a yogurt pot sized trifle either it was a f**king family size, 10 inch diameter plastic bowl!!

lol

There's one in Brum where you can tent a sofa and have sushi/beer delivered to you while you enjoy the flick.

When are advertisers going to get it!!

If you make an ad that opens up and blocks the article I'm trying to read, I'm going to feel less than sympathetic about your damn product. If you put trailers on a DVD I've just PAID for that I can't skip, I'm going to feel resentful and bitter toward the crap you're making me watch.

Exactly, you piss me off, I associate your product with being pissed off, how many people even notice internet adverts these days, I naturally just filter out bright flashing things on the screen.

I can't think of one banner ad ever that I have clicked, or even registered as anything more than spam.

Why do people waste time and money on something that has to be so ineffective, then there are those ones which try and trick you into clicking it, by making the ad look like a play button on a video, or even the ones that trick you by hiding the x to close the ad, but having a fake button that says close on it that opens the ad. Do you honestly think I am going to buy any crap that has tricked me like that. (I know that these aren't normally the advertisers, more web hosters that get paid per click, but surely they must realise this is not a useful way to advertise).

Finally even if your advert does plant a seed of suggestibility, and I do decide I actually want huge penis that looks so grotesquely out of prportion that it would scare any woman that doesn't have a fanny the size of Jordan (the country not the waste of human tissue that is belched on to our screens on an all to frequent basis, serisouly what the fvck was she doing on the apprentice you're fired), I am not going to click on advert on a porn site mid-stroke.

This is what grinds my gears.

The English Weather.

April showers. Wet.

Looking forward to summer.

Sun. Bikini girls. Love.

I love the english weather, the problem is we've had so little rain which was great but just when we expected warmer weather we've got all the rain..I think most would prefer shitty winters but good summers.

Maybe but up to now April has been crap. I was lying in bed this morning listening to the rain on my skylight window and though, Not again. Then the above Haiku flashed into my head and had to write it down. Still on the plus side I don't have to keep watering my pot plants on the windowsill outside.

The inert response from the Nationalist parties in NI over yet another paedophile priest scandal in the Catholic Church in Ireland. SF have said that Cardinal Brady should "reconsider his position" and the SDLP have asked for him to resign. The man should be locked up for allowing this abuse to continue.

Cardinal Brady KNEW about the abuse for over 20 years and didn't report it!

He's claiming that he was just a note taker and couldn't do anything about it. His silence allowed more children to be abused.

The DUP are the only party (rightly) calling for prosecution.

Trying to use the computer of someone who isn't a nerd when you are a nerd.

Honestly this is awful. No browser bookmarks or quick tabs, totally unnecessary firefox toolbars, about a thousand backround applications that should never have been installed, security shields going nuts every two minutes. Mrs. Finners' laptop is a complete shambles.

Oh and laptop touch pads. **** me they are and have always been terrible. It should be illegal to own a laptop without having a mouse for it somewhere.

I could go on, but it's not worth it.

It's a ****ing disgrace IMO

Crimes against desktop icons wind me up and when my less technical brother/mother ask me why their computer is so slow I ask them is it any wonder when you download every thing known to man, have about 50 system tray icons and be careless when installing not checking what toolbars you might be installing with the program.
