I saw Chamber of Secrets twice at the cinema.

I didn't read the first few books as they came out but I watched all the films as they were released. =) They were good in the cinema, especially when 3D came along!

Oooh I'd love to see them in 3D.
Or even better, 4D!!!

With the smells of the potion lessons and ghosts tickling your ears as they creep up behind?

YES! This needs to happen!

And and... acromantulas running around your ankles....

Or the sweet sweet smell of Honeydukes.

I'd only be able to enjoy 3.5D though *sob* =(

It would be sooo awesome!!!

Why? :(

Because I have no sense of smell!

Oh yes of course!
That's a shame :(
3.5D could be fun too though!

I went to see the last pirates of the Caribbean movie in 4D. So.much.rocking!

I've still got all the other senses for the moment so it's ok. =)

Is 4D cinema really a thing? What was rocking? o.O

That's good!

Yes it is!
The chair rocks!
You get mists of water (if appropriate to the film)the chair moves and other stuff I can't remember. I think you do get slight scents.

EDIT:
4DX is a state-of-the-art film technology developed by CJ 4DPLEX which delivers an immersive multi-sensory cinematic experience. 4DX incorporates on-screen visuals with synchronized motion seats and environmental effects such as water, wind, fog, scent, snow and more, to enhance the action on screen.

Oh man, I feel like an idiot now. I did absolutely know about this and have been to the Muppet Vision 3D ride thing in Disney World so many times that I'm surprised I forgot (and yes, 3D not 4D but it had moving seats and wind and tickly things behind your calves to simulate rats!) Obviously that was very comedic but I imagine it's really cool with a film!

Haha!

I totally want to do that muppet ride.
Love the muppets. Muppets Christmas carol is my fave (and probably the only acceptable) Christmas film!

Yes it is very cool!
I'm not really allowed on them because epilepsy but #yolo

It's a pretty cool ride. =P

Take a risk or live with the fomo, I guess?

Exactly!
I need to continue to live my life

Aye. Sensible risk taking is ok occasionally! (Should I be saying that? :ermm:)

Why is it Sunday eeeeeevening?! *tantrums*

Haha! :p
You are correct!

I knoooow! I have work tomorrow too :(
Not until 6 though

I'll be finished by then. I dunno what's better, waiting all day to start work or starting at 7:30am?!

They both have their pros and cons i suppose!

Yup, neither is ideal.

I know when I was starting work at 3pm briefly it seemed like I was hanging around all day...

Nope

Yeah it does give me the entire day of pre work anxiety!
I think 12-6 is the best shift.
I have a 3-close this week which is unusual!

Yeah I have no time for pre-work anxiety..!

I suppose they try to share it out when doing the rota?

Yeah. Everyone has to do at least one evening a week

I'm glad I don't have the uncertainty of shift work. =/

Is it can pain!

I can't sleep so I thought I'd come and annoy you two :D

Hello!

Still around, Alison?!

Beckie's likely asleep by now. She always leaves me alone in here! *sob*

Yes, I'm still around :)

How are you np and Dawn?

Yay. =D

I'm tired but stupidly avoiding sleep to delay tomorrow starting.

How come you can't sleep?

I do that sometimes, especially on Sunday nights.

Texting my sister about pregnancy stuff. She went for her 12 week scan on Friday

Sunday nights are the worst...

Ooh that's exciting. I'm assuming the scan all went ok?

Yes, all ok :).

Sunday nights are the worst, although they've got significantly worse since they stopped doing the top 40 at 4pm on Sundays

Good. =)

Oh wow, that's a blast from the past. Listening to the charts on Sundays was always a big thing. Why did they stop doing it? I thought that was a forever radio feature! =(

I am ok. I am watching a mh documentary.

Greg James did it on Friday nights for a while, but they didn't play all the songs until you reached the top 20. I only listened to it once, I like Greg James but not that show. I don't know if he still does it or if the show was completely scrapped - they cut it from like 4pm to 7pm to only an hour and its just crap now.

Whats your show called Dawn?

ETA: According to google, its still a thing on Friday nights amd Scott Mills does it but they still only play the top 20 songs. Its also based on downloads rather than sales which I guess makes sense, was still an institution though

Ah yeah I think I remember Greg James doing it. I don't remember them ever playing every song but they always played a few from outside the top 20.

Definitely an institution! Just like Top of the Pops on a Friday evening. =)

I loved top of the pops! Friday evenings used to be the nest time of the week for telly - you had TOTP, Friends, South Park (which my brother and I were not allowed to watch but still did) and Fraiser. I LOVED Frasier, Kelsey Grammar is a legend!

I also loved Friday nights because my sister and brother had to go to bed at 10pm and I was allowed to stay up and watch all the shows they weren't like Frasier etc. My sister used to beg mum to let her watch friends and sometimes if I loved her that week I'd let her watch it with me in my room. Thats how I used to get her to be nice to me haha

Yeah it was good fun. I can't remember what else I watched on Fridays. Didn't get into Friends until well after it was popular and never been mad keen on South Park... and I remember watching repeats of Frasier on weekdays in the summer holidays. My memory is rubbish. o.o

Ah, sibling bribery. =P

Tbf, its crap now - it got overly graphic, gory and violent. I think we only watched it because it was the cool thing to watch, same thing with Ally McBeal which I was also not allowed to watch. My mum was quite strict but actually, I get it now that I'm older and I imagine my brother and sister would be the same with their kids. I'm surprised she let me watch Friends tbf, it has some really dodgy misogynistic views in it

My mh documentary was called Doctor Alex: Our Young mh crisis. Was on bbc 1 so should end up on iplayer. Be warned it is triggering.

I don't tend to get triggered by tv programs but thanks for the warning! Was it good?

Oh yeah Friends totally has some very outdated views in it.

Anyway, I'm off to bed. Can't delay it any longer. Need to be awake in 6 hours as it is. =/

G'night all!

Night NP, sweet dreams x

It was quite good but it was very focused on young people. I feel us middle aged people are generally ignored. Like we should have grown out of it or something.

Morning everyone
I had the worst night's sleep I think I've ever had!

Sorry you slept badly. I hope you're not too tired today. Do you have any plans?

Just a bit groggy.
I did lie in until nearly 9:30 though!

Just work today. But not until 6. So nothing going on until then.

How are you? Do you have much planned for today?

Sleep is good! My godmother might visit but it depends on the traffic.
