I did that once too! I think it was for the BAFTA/Telegraph screenings last year. It does leave you feeling a little drained. At least on 20th, the screenings (for me) are in different locations. And thankfully I'll have enough time between them for me to make my way to the next venue without rushing.
Preferred cinemas: All Central London: APOLLO Piccadilly, EMPIRE Leicester Sq; ODEONS: Leicester Sq/Covent Garden/West End/Whiteleys/Panton St; VUE: West End/Fulham/Islington, CINEWORLD: Haymarket/Shaftesbury Ave; Brixton Ritzy,
Then: Westfield, o2, Clapham

I had no problems doing 3 in a day, but like priamia says I did feel a little drained afterwards!
Although my friends thought I was mad!

Why are you not happy with your current job as superhero? What else do you want to do?

The UK are pretty lax I think when it comes to checking things. I wasn't even asked for references for my current job!
Anyway, a_person, good luck and keep us posted!
What I would do for a job like that. Thanks for the answers alythonian!
prettyxcool wrote:sorry a_person, internet went down just after I posted (aargh!) and could not continue with this conversation. I think I misread your question, I thought you meant the date of your degree qualification. I second what everyone has said anyway, I would always put the date I started the course and the date the course finished - you do not need to put the exact date - just the month and year. LOL
Lol yeh I have months down for that. I think I should have been clear, I have to attach my CV to the application form and in the application form, they want specific dates!!! That is the actualy day too! I won't get away with just putting a month down.

How do I choose?!!
I would go for the one you want to see more. In my case Karate Kid.
If you want to see them both equally the same, I'd go for the one closer to home. In my case, it would be KK again!
I'm lucky SimonV got me tickets for the following day (close to home as well
)! (Thanks again SimonV)

I barely remember where the London Eye was located after three years of being away from it. How could anyone possibly expect me to remember something from over ten years ago!

Good advice, I think we are going to opt for Get him to the Greek though!

I can't help being forgetful and dozy! I don't remember things that I don't consider important!
