So let me get this straight. I moved to London from Scotland, so I must be ugly squared? :p I should get more free films, keeps me indoors in the dark and off the streets where the tourists can see. :p

More flies with honey... By all means suggest Sky have more previews in Birmingham, but if you call them shabby at the same time, not sure how seriously they'll take your comments!
Preferred cinemas:
Vue West End, Cineworld Haymarket, Odeon West End, Odeon Leicester Square, Empire Leicester Square, Cineworld O2, Cineworld Shaftesbury Avenue and Odeon Panton Street, followed by anywhere in central(ish) London.

And even when you live in London it is such a huge place that it can be too far to travel to a screening at 02 so not all Londoners are catered for :rolleyes:
Preferred cinemas:
Central London and North London as far north as the Hampstead Everyman including Picturehouse Hackney/Notting Hill Gate - but not Wood Green and North Finchley as they are just a bit too far.

If it really really bugs you that much and it's the one thing that makes your life miserable then I suggest you move to London. Obviously you'll then have to contend with the fact that London is much more expensive to live in than anywhere else and the regular cinema prices are also much higher. It's only fair in my opinion that Londoners get a few more free screenings as they p*y through the nose for everything else.

Lived in London once - ugly, dirty city full of obnoxious and arrogant people!
Well that was a bit harsh.... I didn't think I was ugly, obnoxious or arrogant.... :tears:

The real question is, are we Londoners still obnoxious or have the Birmingham tickets made us seem slightly more pleasant? :p

Well, I popped in to see what was happening on this thread :blink:

Don't remember any ' smelly, ugly, dirty' fmukers, in the meet up in London. Is there another wing of fmuk that I'm unaware of :confused:
