Are you aware of cinema etiquette?  

I love going to the cinema, always have done.  I remember back when I was a kid and you used to go in and they would maybe show you a few trailers and then start the movie.  I went to the cinema last night (Orange Wednesday) and couldn't believe the amount of adverts before the film, not trailers I hasten to add.  It was a whole half an hour before the movie started and in that half an hour I only saw three trailers the rest of that time was adverts.  Why can't it go back to when I was a kid with only trailers.  When I go to the cinema I want to know what's coming on at the cinema not things that I can buy when I next go into town.  Plus, as I am writing about this annoying issue, I am wracking my brains to try and think what the ads were trying to sell me.  I can't remember one thing, so clearly they are a waste of time.

Also while I am on the subject of cinema, Pearl & Dean, they've been going for some time, haven't they.  I remember their theme tune without even going to the cinema.  Just saying the name brings the tune to mind.  It was funny when we were kids to sit in the dark and sing the tune as it was played out on the big screen but hey people who are clearly older than twelve, I wish you stop singing it.  It's like the annoying 'got to sing the ring tone' man that sometimes appears in your office but that another gripe.
