£15 to watch a movie!

Details
Created: 21 March 2009

I met up with Max and Stu to watch The Watchmen at the Odeon in town.

Parking in Bournemouth for enough time before and after the movie cost £6, plus I spent a £1 parking behind the cinema only to realise that the movie was for over two hours so I had to move it again.

The whole paying £1 for a premier seat in the middle was a bit duff as well. Remind me not to do it again. When we sat down, because the headrests are quite high for those seats the ones in front actually got in the way. Even worse if you are not that tall! 

It was virtually empty anyway. The rows just before the premier section are probably the best ones anyway. No risk of some curly barnet in front of you.

No wonder people rather just buy the DVD when it comes out.

It was a pretty good movie.

Life Insurance, aint it just annoying

Life Insurance
Policies galore
Doesn't it just hit you in the stomach paying out for life insurance.

Very strange and far too grown up.

Hope not to use it too soon!

Planet Earth - DVDs to iron to

Planet Earth
Planet Earth DVD
Since finishing all the DVD boxsets of Spooks until the season before last, I have now moved onto Planet Earth as the DVD boxset to watch whilst doing the ironing.

Fantastic cinematography and now with behind the scenes footage on how they captured their rare moments.

Things like these make the BBC licence fee worth while.

Boscombe Pier is going to be OK

Details
Created: 15 March 2009

Having walked along the Boscombe Pier and along the promenade in the lovely sun this afternoon, I actually believe it will end up being very good in the end.

Looking back from the end of the pier, the frontage and the buildings are all taking shape. It probably looks better that the view from the Bournemouth Pier with its Imax building and flyover.

I think Boscombe deserves a break and it will come.

Fook Africa on Red Nose Day, indeed

Red Nose Day
Red Nose Day
For the person who said Fook Africa on the Bournemouth Echo web site (before it was taken off which I actually disagree with as it closes off this debate) about Red Nose day I say that is absolutely fine. Red Nose Day is not solely about Africa and if you want to Fook Africa then don’t be a knut and those with similar feelings, dig into your pockets and contribute to something more local.

Come on then, if you can’t think for yourself then take your choice from the Big Issue,  MND Association, Barnardos and Shelter,  Breast Cancer Care, Julia's House and Youth Cancer Trust.

Southbourne Groove

We all try and get involved in the local community scene in Southbourne, Dorset.

When I have time, I try and update southbournegroove.com with snippets of news and events.
