Hedgecutter Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) Ah, the joys of asking your friend if he could ask his mum if you could use her phone to phone your mum for a playtime extension. Eta: or bombing it down the road to get home just before the hour cut-off. Perhaps this is where I get my "not early, not late, but prompt" mantra from. Seems to drive some folk in meeting nuts when I walk in at 14:59 for a 15:00 meeting. Me: "What?

falkirkthebigclub Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Not a saying but none of my colleagues have heard of liquid light shows (bubble projectors) at the old cinema theatres. FFS I'm sure Falkirk cinema were still using them in the early 90s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
