Re: Monsters
Hi Soonforgotten,
Not the only reason for the trip, but scheduled the rest of the trip round it, as the event sounded good - especially liked the idea of visiting the museum.
However managed to do The London Bridge Experience, HMS Belfast, London Tower Experience, River Boat Cruise, The London Eye (only queued for 5 mins at 11am on Saturday) and a very entertaining show at Duke of Yorks - 'Ghost Stories'. Plus a couple of nights kids free, so all in all a very good break.

I received a package from the Jameson Cult Film Club yesterday.
The accompanying letter stated:
“Thank you for coming along to Jameson Cult Film Club screening of ‘Monsters’. We sincerely apologise that you were turned away from out event. We had a much higher than expected turn out. We use attendance figures at previous Jameson Cult Film Club events to gauge numbers and this event was more popular than previous events. We sincerely apologise that you could not get in and would like to make it up to you.
Please find attached ‘Monsters’ DVD and a bottle Jameson for you and your friends to enjoy responsibly.”
Enclosed was a ½ bottle of Jameson and the Monster DVD with the 3D cover – the enclosed invoice/receipt said that the DVD had cost £9.97.

Re: Monsters
Oh what a great present! They obviously think it is best watched when drinking alcohol. 
And they have no way of knowing who was turned away, right? So some people may have seen the film and got the DVD for free?
