Yep i have to say thats very annoying. I dont understand why teens feel the need to sit right behind me when there are so many other free seats, and then to start kicking my seat and laughing during the movie, is it just a fear of being alone or what?tonya10057 wrote:Whilst im on the cinema, i also hate it when a group of loud and annoying youngsters sit right behind you when there are loads of other seats available and then proceed to giggle and whisper and kick your seat throughout the film
I hate that also.

Thats why i always try to catch a later film- less annoying 15yr olds around

I can feel your pain, Big Huey, to an extent, except that I live in Southern California where we don't have any snow and ice to crawl around in to fix the car.Bighuey wrote:The Holidays is a hell of a time for your car to take a dump.

My car just took an 1800 dollar dump a week ago. Merry Xmas, right? I hope things get better from here for both you and I.

I dont miss it one bit.Mel Carriere wrote:I can feel your pain, Big Huey, to an extent, except that I live in Southern California where we don't have any snow and ice to crawl around in to fix the car.Bighuey wrote:The Holidays is a hell of a time for your car to take a dump.

Good job he wasn't made of crystalStephenKingman wrote:So someone in our town robbed the baby Jesus figure from a crib displayed outside the town cathederal, and if that wasnt bad enough, I heard it was just handed in to the Guards...broken in several parts. What on earth is to be gained from such an act? I suspect drugs as if it was just blackguarding it would still be intact- either that or just scumbags, some people are sick.![]()

When they are caught they should be deprived of Blas for 10 years ... that would teach them a lesson
