Yay - I've won a free massage - which sounds absolutely great but I am the therapist who donated the prize!! Have told them to re-enter the prize in their next event.
This is Hilarious...
But must say you have some luck Destresserai

ooh love for you. Which screening venue was it?
The film was shown at The Charlotte Street Hotel near Goodge Street. Lovely hotel.
