(26 Sep 2017, 2:51 pm)mb134 Should be able to, seeing as you're usually able to purchase tickets a week or two in advance of the screening.
That online or at the office?

I'd imagine the office will be fine, especially if same day. If I know I'm going to go to the cinema later on, and park in the yellow mall, I usually buy my tickets on the way in, do what I need to do, then go for my movie.

Now know how some of you's must feel when I've been posting in that annoying thread every 5 minutes, as I accepted a friend request from one of these people on Facebook... They got the boot. This has really opened my eyes though as to how annoying I must be at times, think I need to stop myself from getting to a really bad stage with it (although I have gone too far at times in the past).

Sometimes a safe place to get something out of your system helps you regroup and regain a sense of perspective.

Cycling down the hope road today in Sunderland from south to north... Took a bend and my back wheel went... On oil... Ended up on other side of the road and I was so lucky there was no oncoming traffic otherwise I may not be writing this now.
I'm okay. Two bruises, major gravel rash and ruined a pair of £75 cycling shorts. Oh and my pride.
I bought the hope road to a standstill to!

Saw at least 2 lids fliped open, earlier!
In all seriousness, I'm on the quiet side of the house and it's now LOUD!! My only hope is that the wind knackers the roof of the house we're buying once and for all and they're now bound to do some actual household maintenance.

I opened my window last night as i warm, worst choice ever, had to get up after 5 minutes due to it banging....
Still really windy this morning, walking up Grindon Lane was horrible, nearly got blew on the road.

The beer can house in Hartlepool is going to be demolished.

RE: Anything and Everything v2 - Rapidsnap - 08 Jun 2018
Shame about the house, was a bit of a landmark when arriving into Hartlepool, also around the corner from a lass I used to see.
Anyway I don't know why, but I've been finding that I'm not enjoying the hobby as much as I used to, especially in the North East over the past year or so. I know there is a number of reasons which I'm not going to state. Just it's getting me a bit down, I went out bus riding on Thursday, and by mid afternoon I just wanted to go home (in the end I sat on the Metro the rest of the day), but I'm getting easily annoyed with various things etc even though I shouldn't. I just cannot pinpoint why or don't know what to do to get me out of this rut.
RE: Anything and Everything v2 - Charles41 - 09 Jun 2018
I also do not enjoy this hobby half as much as I used to. For me it's the lack of organisation amongst enthusiasts that annoys me.

A few enthusiasts seem to be losing interest in the bus scene around here, I feel there is little variety in buses and operators around and most modern buses sound quite similar and dull.
I have become a bit less interested than I was about a few years back when I first properly got into the hobby but part of my issue is that I have done just about every North East route that is worth doing. Quite like to invade Yorkshire on a Saturday as it is different enough to the North East and there is still a few bits of interest to me, always happy when I get one of Arriva Yorkshire's few remaining Optare Spectra's.
Decided to stop the daily uploads on my YouTube channel, the reasoning being the fact I simply can't be bothered with uploading them anymore as I find it quite time consuming and mentally draining, also I do actually have other things to do with my life.

This hits the nail on the head for me. The enthusiast scene in the North East is absolutely dire, and the sooner people cotton on to that that, the better.
We are so far behind other regions in terms of organisation. 500 Groups running day being the exception. Every rally I've been to further afield has ran like clockwork, it has been really well intended and supported and there is an all round better atmosphere.
The atmosphere point is really important. If you go somewhere and encounter arseholes, you'e less likely to want to go again. Until we stop mssaaging the ego of people like that, it'll never improve.
Rallies are the hub of our hobby. If we have a cracking event which we all enjoy, it'll help to enthuse us until the next one.
