ps what is a good time to arrive to see the celebs on the red carpet? :):)

[prettyxcool]

As early as possible to get a good spot! So a lot of standing around before the stars actually arrives.

The below timings are typical for London Film Premieres during the week evenings.
4.30pm Press/ pens open
6.00pm Talent arrivals
6.30pm Doors open
7.30pm Film on screen

For Pan, which was on a Sunday, we had to pick up tickets by 1.30pm. Doors open at 2.30pm and seated by 4pm. So we went straight to the pens after picking up tickets and hang around until about 3.45pm before going in. But you can also watch the red carpet action inside as there will be a live feed if the premiere is being held at Odeon Leicester Square.

Hope this helps!

The timings on the tickets always try to encourage you to enter and get seated straight away. Rookie mistake.

If you're told you can enter between X and Y, actually going in just before Y means you have more chance of seeing any talent up close. If you go in at X, you'll find yourself sat in an empty cinema for an hour or so. Sometimes with red carpet footage on the cinema screen, but it can be a bit deflating. Get to Leicester Square early, but don't actually go into the cinema until as late as possible!

If you have a plus one and it's not allocated seating, decide beforehand whether you'd rather sit together, or if you'd rather sit apart if it means you both get a much better seat. Because if you spend time hanging around outside celeb-spotting, the cinema may already be quite full when you go in.

Last week I won a days hire of a prestige car (Ferarri, Bentley etc.) but after reading the small print I found that the excess in the event of an accident is £750 so don't think I will be bothering.

What a shame the excess has put you off, nonkynink. This would be a fab opportunity which most of us would never get a chance to drive this type of car but agree the excess seems a lot if anything went wrong. Also, it might not be you at fault but another driver! Shame!

That is really too bad -- a case of giving with one hand and taking away with the other. Hope your next win makes up for it!

Finally received my gig vouchers and taxi voucher from my win from KFC. They also included two Fillet Burger or Zinger Burgers meal as it took months of chasing them.

Also I received an email from Wagamama that my dish I design in their competition has been one of the three they have chosen so their head chef is coming to Glasgow to cook it for me in one of their restaurants.
