I Was Going To Give It Another Try...
I have not been to a cinema since 1979. I was thinking of giving it another try. But I'm afraid they've blown it now:

NJ...If you go to the pictures, you will have to put up with the constant slurping and masticating, as people seem to view a trip to the cinema as an ideal time to have dinner.

//Formation and history[edit]
The squad was originally formed on an experimental basis by Detective Chief Inspector Wensley. In October 1919, Wensley summoned twelve detectives to Scotland Yard to form the squad. The group was initially named the "Mobile Patrol Experiment" and its original orders were to perform surveillance and gather intelligence on known robbers and pickpockets, using a horse-drawn carriage with covert holes cut into the canvas.[1]
In 1920, it was officially reorganised under the authority of then Commissioner Sir Nevil Macready. Headed by Detective Inspector Walter Hambrook, the squad was composed of twelve detective officers, including Irish-born Jeremiah Lynch (1888–1953), who had earned a fearsome reputation for tracking wartime German spies and for building up the case against confidence trickster Horatio Bottomley.[1] The Mobile Patrol Experiment was given authorisation to carry out duties anywhere in the Metropolitan Police District, meaning that they did not have to observe Divisions, giving rise to the name of the "Flying Squad" because the unit operated all across London without adhering to borough policing boundaries.[2]//

I vaguely remember reading it somewhere; however, I just read this, and there's no mention of it: https:/ /en.wik ipedia. org/wik i/Flyin g_Squad
Oh no! If it's not enough for people to talk and eat while watching a film, now they're allowed to text. I don't like going to the cinema for the first two reasons, I think I'll wait for DVDs to watch at home.
If you can't put your phone away for 2 hours, don't go the cinema. Or to someone's house for dinner.
