What Happened at the Movies at Kids AM

Kids AM at VUE Cinemas used to be a great way to take all the kids to the Movies on a wet Saturday morning.

First come first served for Only 95p each!

You'd have to get there before 10am for a 10.30am Start or you'd end up sitting right at the front on the beanbags and getting a stiff neck.


We'd watch people coming in at 10.15am and it would be a mad rush to get the last seats.

There would be groups of kids who had made the outing themselves to see a movie before shopping at the Mall with their spending money, probably grabbing a 99p burger too.

Good fun and affordable.

It was great, we've been loads of times and took our friends kids too, proper outing to the movies that was affordable
(as long as you stayed away from the Snacks that are priced as if we were at the last motorway services for a thousand miles)

Don't get me started about the overpriced VIP Seating, uncomfortable and cold leather seats that take up more room than normal seats and so seat less people for more money. What Genius thought that one up. Yes, they are always the last to be sold, at a premium and whoever sits in them does so and grumbles.

Anyway,  over the last few weeks, Something odd happened, we'd get there early & it would be sold out.

Turns out people are Booking online & paying the £0.70p Per Ticket booking fee. If there is four of you, that's £2.80 extra.

OK, I agree that is still very cheap for a movie, but this is what annoys me: What about that kids who want to go to the movie with their friends and have a Saturday movie without Grownups pestering them?

As a kid, going to the Movies myself was a very big thing for me and the thought of asking a grown up to Book online and pay nearly double the ticket price is totally ruining the idea of KIDS AM.

(Lookout, I'm about to sound like a granddad: We'd pay 50p get two movies and a disco. Plus the popcorn was actually made on the premises. Can you believe they now buy them by the binliner)

Kids AM is supposed to be for Kids. One adult taking as many kids as possible, or just kids to a movie. I've seen groups of 3 adults and 1 kid.

Come on VUE, this is supposed to be FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED.
Booking online takes the fun out of it.

We'd say if we couldn't be there before 10am there was no point in going.

Now, there's just No Point.

Rap News 5: Wikileaks & the war on journalism (ft. Julian Assange)

Check out this video on YouTube:

I got the best specs from a supermarket!

Watching Rip Off Britain on tv, they're talking about spectacles and the average cost of manufacture of one lens is 25p. The mark up for glasses I'd huge.

For the record I just had my eyes tested and glasses made, for the first time in years, done properly first time. The cost for two pairs of high prescription glasses, thinned, anti scratch, uv coating was £50! For two pairs, amazing.

Got them in Asda and I'm well impressed. So now you know.

Thus is not an advert, I just wanted you to know.

Dave's 188lb catfish

Bloody hell Dave, I thought this was fotoshopped. Of course it isn't, but I bet you are well chuffed.

I'm told this is the biggest fish they have in this part of Spain.

Well done mate.

Starry, Starry Night by the Strobist.

I had to share this great photo of the sky at night.

Being blind as a bat, I look up at the night sky and try to imagin what folks with better eyes can see.

Then I realise, it's not me at all, its because I live in light polluted England.

Now this picture was taken at 8000 ft above sea level in Colorado, 20 miles from the nearest city (you can see the Orange light pollution on the bottom left).

I'd like this image blown up to 16x7 foot and have it cover my office wall.

Love it, bloody love it.

WARNING: The Truth about Stage Hypnosis by Chris Doc Strange

This morning I was using Google to search my own name and see what people are saying about me. The answer was nothing, as usual.

So I thought I would do a quick search for Comedy Hypnotist and see what comes up.

I followed a few links, looked at a couple of hypnotists websites which are very nice and make me slightly envious, only slightly.

Then I read a page that pissed me right off about certain hypnotists being better than others because of reasons I don't agree with.

So I have added a little page to my site that says what I think about all that and the nonsense it encourages.

Honestly, some people think its a good way to get bookings by slagging off the competition. It's not you know, it's pathetic, childish and if needs be, I can do it much better.

I won't though, I am above all that. I am stood on a box.

Read it and see what you think

I lost my iPhone Today, then found it again. Phew.

I'm very relieved to have found my phone after running around like a man possessed trying to find it.

I got a great case to protect it and since having this case I have dropped the phone 5 times. Before having the case I hadn't dropped it once. So its a good thing the Otterbox Defender really does protect the iPhone from drops, dirt and mishaps.

Though it does'nt help that I got the Black case (read that as "Invisible to a Blint Twat like me") and couldn't see where I had dropped it. The belt clip seemed a good idea at first, its not as grippy as I would have liked, everytime its been dropped, its becase its fallen out of the holder. Yes, it was facing the right way, screen to hip. Anyway, I had no idea where it was. I called the phone but it was out of reach.

Was it at the school, on the road, in the class room, under the seat of my car, god where is it?

Thinking that some evil wizzzkid was at that moment hacking it to my trusty 3GS and finding pictures of my dick and other such blackmail material.

Luckly I found the phone under a bunch of flowers and the pictures were safe, if not purely imaginary.

Though they could have been real, but if I ever want to see the little feller, I only.. Well, I don't need a picture put it that way. I'm not that fat.
When I get so big I can't see it, I'll rely on memory as it what it looks like, god help me.

Mmm, maybe I should take some pictures of it, for the future, just in case..

If only the iPhone 3GS had a decent camera...

And a Macro Lens.
