What happened to ushers in cinemas shining torches in the miscreants faces?

Cuts. Same as everything else. They want to pay fewer staff.

Yeah, I figured. With cinemas apparently dying a death it’s inevitable.

We have ways of making you ta talk,defeats the object of the exercise somewhat!

I once mistakenly visited a cinema during one of those "mother and baby" sessions, it was a new thing at the time. Mind you, you could here a pin drop while Winnie the Pooh was on and I'd have been lynched if I'd made a sound. Never been back since.

Get many strange looks, at all???

None. You'd think someone in the box office would have warned me when I bought the ticket?

Or the mothers, at least!

I was only twelve or thirteen at the time, I don't think they cared?

Definitely makes it slightly less creepy than if you were a grown man!

Crying - it’s a superhero film ffs

That's up there with the people bawling when they see Taylor Swift etc.

Moments in sports make people react, but just breaking down and crying seeing a pop star just doesn't compute with me. Tbf it's 99% for social media.

I found out the other day about Taygating. If you don't know its turning up at a Taylor swift gig without a ticket just to stand outside. WTF is that about.

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

Sorry to set anyone off on this (I'm sure a few will do it and loads will notice it tonight) but People at the football constantly clapping totally out of synch. A Bloke at Bristol on Tuesday was all over the shop and although amusing it amazed me that he wasn't in time once.

They had a woman (a grown woman) - a self-titled "Swifty Superfan" on 5Live this morning talking about having been at Wembley last night. This was the THIRD time she had seen her on this tour, so has more money than sense (well, that wouldn't be difficult!).
Honest to god, get a fucking grip FFS!

Fucking world of red tape.

Just went into McDonald's feeling delicate, they have everything available for the Breakfast Roll, but can't sell it because they don't have the packaging....

Apparently cus of allergies etc, it has to be in correct packaging. Fuck off.

I think the brain dead mutant would have combusted in confusion

Twitter not working when my phones on charge. Does my head in.

People with signs outside their relatively new build house saying "say no to planning permission on new builds on our green spaces".

Can't remember if it was this thread, but can confirm that compensation from the courts is a monthly payment/as and when the offender can pay

£330 compo for damage to my car at £6 a month currently yet the absolute shit stain on society can afford to drink in pubs most days

I went to Horton's last week and KFC today.At Horton's they don't take cash(come on your next to Bedworth FFS).Visiting KFC today don't take order at the counter company policy machine order only customer service forget it.
Mind you while eating I was entertained by the number of people who took the first arrow for the drive through only to find that enterance blocked, enjoyed the reversing skills on offer.

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

I went to KFC for the first time in a long time before the match on Friday - the one at Cross Point. Took me three attempts to figure out their ordering "kiosk", and the contactless reader is very poor! Could've starved to death!!

I like how the touchscreen thing lets you pick what you want without the ordeal of a hurriedly glance up at a board while people are stood behind waiting for the indecisive idiot to make his mind up. The downside of course is that they're covering in the piss and whatever else from the dozens of other people who've been using them

Finding an old-fashioned 3-piece Colonel's Meal was virtually impossible! And then the chump behind the counter picked out the most measly little bits of chicken he could find on the rack!

 

[SBAndy]

The new Persil advert, where the girl has her shirt signed by Saka. Parents wash it and the ink comes out (yeah, I’ll believe that when I see it) and dad has the temerity to say “we’ll fix it”. Then next clip is the girl getting it signed again. She’s had to go and sort it herself. Dad should be ashamed of himself!

Yes. This is light-hearted, but it does grate a bit.

 

[ccfc922]

This level of coincidence that we're meant to believe is just that, nothing more.

Tbh, think they make the board menus rotate round the slides to force you to feel like you need to use the self serve.

McDonalds are the worst with the animations that go over the menus every few seconds. Can't have a decent look before the screens change.

It's all leaning towards self service and "quickness" of stuffing your face with shite to increase their profits.

It was a 40 old woman in the case of the runner, makes it unlikely doesn't it, extraordinary coincidence though!
Lessons for Michelle Mone or Robert Maxwell or even retrospectively John Stonehouse!

Had that in a Costa, was trying to look at the menu and it all suddenly disappeared to show an advert for one drink they had for a limited time or something. Get fucked! (Costa, not you)

I'm also mildly irritated by this one. In fact, adverts in general big me.

Generally saccharine sweet, trying to sell you some bulshit sentiment or a contrived "story" or "journey".

I also thought that it was a boy in an advert but you're probably right on it being a girl as in adverts now only girls can feature prominently because adverts are a big hairy load of bollox.

In maccies you're literally shoving your face full of shite. They swabbed the touchscreens in a bunch of stores. Most had poo particles on the iirc...

They're probably linked aren't they. Probably caused big issues for someone they shouldn't have...

That said, I don't think the BBC could say "Well this looks suspicious!" for some legal reasons.
