Anything Unusual At The Cinema

[jennyjoan]

Two occasions spring to mind.

I had taken my niece to see a movie when movie was stopped and projector came into the audience and asked for whoever it was could they stop their alarm clock from ringing. I couldn't hear it but niece did. It was an old lady's who I would suspect had a bit of dementia.

Another time I was going to cinema and forgot myself and genuflected before going into seat.

Islay roll on to early 50s - no I got first hearing aid with the black box - string running from the box to ear. Mother sewed me up a little pocket to hold quite heavy maybe 2 or 3 batteries at my side.

Later cream hearing aids came out and battery was inside box - still string run across your body up to ear.

When I came home from school - uniform came off and hearing aid palaver off and merrily went out to play relying on lip reading.

Oh sorry I thought you were talking about when bambi first came out - my mistake.

that's okay Islay - I nearly *** the knickety knacks - eh, in 42 I was a twinkle in we da's eye.

A couple.

Once, during the opening credits of one of the 80's Bond films (Can't remember which one), the 007 logo was shown across the chest of a woman. One of the bunch shouted out (Louder than the theme tune) "Cor! Look at that. Right across her t**s!!!"

The other was this advert that came on before a different film. The whole Auditorium fell about laughing.....

// genuflected Whats that mean then ?//

good question - genuflecting - wot wiv dat den ?
how I have missed this question form ! I am sure it is meant comically - like you know he really knows, BUT

it reflects Romans' ( who dey den ? ) belief of the Real Presence of the Host in the Tabernacle - and there is a little red candle to remind you.

however - a little girl genuflected so perfectly one time years and years ago (when dat den ? oh you know 100AD ) that a pagan observer was instantly converted ! So everyone must do it in case it happens again.

so there you are then: Roman Catholic nins fill little girls' heads with rubbish when they should be telling the little angels how peace loving the muslims really are

well that is christianity for you !

Many years ago when I was about 14 I went to cinema with friends. A man came and sat next to me.
After a while I could feel him messing with my thigh. I didn't know what to do, whispered to my friend, she was no help. Decided to be brave. I stood up and shouted will you take your hand of my leg and stop interfering with me.
He stood up and moved pretty sharpish to another part of the cinema. I was shaking.
