The very first meet.

Meet at Cineworld in the bar area between 6.30 and 7.15ish, in time for the 7.30 showing of The Dark Knight.

Errr.....not sure what else to say really! Thought could just have a quick drink/coffee before the film, watch it and then possibly stay and have a drink afterwards!

Feel free to contact me or Edna if you need to know anything!!

See you there!

Popping my name to the thread also. Please come along - if you don't like the look of us all you can just leave after the film:hihi: A few of us have met before so new and old are welcome!

Bottoms: Sorry guys I can't make Wed... Watch this space for what will happen. I'll either come and meet you later in the evening or something...or the day might change...

Don't think I've missed anything have I?

Yeah like Edna says, do come along or at least post in the group. There will be other meets too, not necessarily always on Wednesdays, so if you have ideas for other meets, then PM us :)

Oooh I've watched Batman Begins tonight in preparation for it. Didn't know Tim Booth was in it! :o

Great to see that you are coming Scozzie!

Ah, I think I might be able to kick myself down the hill for that as well... I'm still in shock at discovering that Bill Murray and Eddie Murphy were once in the running as Batman and Robin. Dark Knight looks interesting. As long as I can force myself to get over the horrendous pun I should be ok.

:P

I'll be there, even though I actually recoiled in horror when haddockman told me on the way home from work last night which film we'll be watching:hihi:

I'll be in my element as long as I have strawberry laces and fizzy pop! Quite looking forward to it actually:)

I've never fancied a Batman film before, but I have to say this one does look very good! Everything I've read has been good, so I'll definately give it a go! Good to see a few names going on this thread, I'm hoping we can have a few of these meets. I hate it when nobody wants to see a film with you, I don't mind going to the cinema on my own, but I know other people wouldn't consider it.

Any more?

I'm afraid I'm of to see my friend on Wednesday who's just been in Australia for a month for all the gossip. I shall however, try and entice him to Printworks in Manchester on the following day so as not to miss out and I'll think of you all when I'm there (if I can get him to go!)

As mentioned in the other thread, I'm afraid Wednesday is not possible for me (which is a shame as that would be 2 extra free tickets available and the ability to ignore any queues). Wednesday is my better half's cinema day, so I stay home with the kids.

We will be having other film meets too....keep your eyes on the group for new ones, or of course if you want to set one up at any time, you're very welcome to :)

As soon as I know the timings for the X-Files film on 6 August - that'll be one I'm setting up so be prepared people if you want to go.

Peter Venkman as Batman? That would've been... Interesting to say the least.

As i've edited my post earlier up the thread, i now can't make the time of Wed. I will either come and meet you all in the bar after or the day may change, I'm happy to do either.

So sorry but I've been offered a hot date with Glenn Gregory and co and i can't turn it down. :D

Went to see it tonight - absolutely loved it. Will have to go see it again with you guys if I can find you :)

Was a bit strange after the film ended - they told us all to leave via the Fire Exit - maybe for a quick change before next showing - bit of a pain as I wanted the loo and the car park didn't seem appropriate :P

Ok then, because Edna is not able to do Wednesday any longer, we have decided to change the date of this meet to Tuesday 29th July, this coming Tuesday!! Although this means that it won't be held on Orange wednesday, it does mean the cinema will be a bit quieter and a few other people who can't make Wednesday will be able to turn up.

Sorry about this change. If you want to come, then post on the thread or PM us :)

26-07-2008, 12:56 PM
Yey! I can still come and we get to see it a whole day earlier!

Hope I've not messed too many people around. Thanks everyone and sorry again! (Esp. Haddockman whose ear i've been bending to have this for weeks!)

I'm tempted to come, but I have to be up for 7.30 AM Wednesday morning (bloody carers! I wouldn't mind if not for the fact the guy that comes on a Wednesday's ALWAYS late! :rant: )

Ooh i've had lots of positive response to my apologetic pms to all those i inconvenienced and a few more! Only KTHFB can't still make it! (See you soon though!) Looking forward to it, should be a good meet!

Hi!

I'll be coming along later can't wait to see the film.

Do you have any distinguishing features or should I just wander round asking people if they are haddockman or edna?
:hihi:

haddockman
29-07-2008, 10:11 AM
We will be sat in the cafe/bar upstairs in an obvious place so that you can see us when you come up the stairs :) I'll PM you my phone number if you like, then you can text or call if you can't spot us! PM me if anybody wants my number for tonight!

Thanks to everyone who turned up :) Glad you all managed to find us ok! Couldn't believe how busy it was last night, I think it was a good job we didn't go for a Wednesday, they always seem 10x busier than any other weeknight!!!

Was hideously busy wasn't it! Thought it'd settle down if we went for a drink first, but if anything, it got worse! Scozzie was genius getting us to the front of the queue like that:D

Was nice to see you lot I haven't seen for a while (Edna, shrop_lass, code13) and also put faces to names of the others! Hopefully see you next time!
