Robin.Hood Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I cannot be arsed with Turkish barbers. I'm fine with a tidy up and a chat about where I'm off to on my holidays. Or about the fitba if it's George Mathers in Lochee. A tenner, keep the change, see you in six weeks...George is a good lad. A mentalist but a good lad. I work with his young lad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Going to the cinema on your own is far better than going with someone else.Quite a weird social occasion when you think about it. Let’s meet up to sit in a pitch black room and watch a film. It’s entirely logical to do that yourself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas dinner is rubbish. My family now tends to have some kind of homemade curry on Christmas Day when we all spend it together. A vast improvement. I actually think roast dinners with veg etc are always tolerable at best. A traditional Sunday lunch is simply a very boring, stodgy meal. I could happily never bother with another one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My work schedule means I quite often finish early on Wednesdays. There's a cinema near my work and most weeks I'll nip in for a 2pm showing of whatever's on. A large popcorn and a film in a more or less empty cinema. Fantastic. 1 hour ago, Dons_1988 said: Quite a weird social occasion when you think about it.

I went with a couple of mates last week and was mortified that one of the boys kept talking during the film. Mortified. Yet, if you don't talk, then you might as well just go alone. Why not? You'd watch a film alone in your house. Edited October 5, 2019 by JTS98 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) Surely the idea is that you watch the film, then all discuss it afterwards. It's a bit of a shiter when you see an interesting film on your tod, then come home and have to bite your tongue because nobody else kens the identity of the Illinois Enema Bandit. For example, according to a mate, etc. The rare shared experience with strangers can be a treat too. There was almost fisticuffs at the showing of A.I. that I went to, as half of the cinema were treating it as a comedy by the end, while the other half thought it was a very serious, moving piece. Even had a teary woman stand up and yell at us to stop laughing. Extraordinary. Young Adam was great too; the film where Ewan McGregor knobs absolutely everything in a skirt. An entire audience giggling like weans whenever a new female character appeared, as Ewan was clearly going to be inabootit before the credits rolled. Edit: also, I understand that the film becomes a secondary consideration when escorting a young lady to the pictures. Once again, according to a mate, etc. Edited October 5, 2019 by BigFatTabbyDave 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a young prankster I used to to go to obscure art house films with a mate and and laugh knowingly when absolutely nothing was going on, and you'd inevitably get a ripple going round from people who pretended they knew what we were laughing at. Hee hee. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually Sunday evening.Sometimes may go for something to eat beforehand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
