mobile phones in cinemas
I make my paltry wage ushering at some unknown cinema in Yorkshire and the sheer ammount of gobshite chavs that pay five quid for a ticket just to sit through a movie they don't understand whilst texting is staggering.

I really don't mind phones being on so long as they do it right, leave the phone in the bag and if they just so happen to get that sudden urgent text, they should for gods sake make sure the phones on silent and quietly piss off to the toilets where I don't have to care about it. They shouldn't waft the phone about in mid air claiming the signals shite because the answer they can expect is "it's a fucking cinema what do you expect your not even meant to have them on in the first place." (minus expletives i take pride in not being fired)

And a final warning in the very unlikely event that anyone here is inonsiderate and stupid enough to try this, don't whatever you do once your caught loudly exclaim that your phone has to be on cause your "birds preggers and ready to drop." because the first thing i'll say is "why are you in a cinema?" the second thing I'll say is "I'll do you a favour I'll throw you out of the cinema now so you can go check up on her." and the third thing I'll do is go to the security cameras get their faces image on the way out stick it to the box office with the message "This guys a complete prick please never let him in again."

And the moral of the story, if your 'birds' expecting at any moment be a gent and stay with her just in case it happens soon, don't fuck off to the cinema with her mates like a complete nob. and in the very likely event that it's a lie, its really is just all the more reason to throw you out of there.

i love the cinema I just wish people knew how to act sensible in them.

This had better be cathartic.
We'll I was bullied from infant school to the day I entered 6 form. Many events stand out but the worst times were at my first junior school. I must admit I was hardly the most conforming of kids well I was downright wierd and had a temper to boot at that age but I certainly did not deserve the abuse I got, especialy with the teachers and headmaster being as much use as a soggy cabbage at ending it. You would think that a kid of 8 or so having his head smashed through a sink by a 12 year old might draw their attention though, nope given a "this child banged his head watch out for a concussion" card and sent to my next lesson, then I was yelled at before I went home for damaging school property, as though I chose to smash my head through a sink myself. I got my teeth kicked in every day at that school for two and a half years but it took me really snapping and beating one of the gangs into a bloody mass with a chair in year 5 before the school decided to let on the extent to which I was being bullied to my parents and I got moved to a rather nice school a couple of streets away. I took me years to get over the bullying and it was only really the friends I made in 6 form and year 11 that turned me into the decent upstanding nerd/ nice guy you see today. I have many stories of how I've been bullied, and to be perfectly fair some of them are quite funny in retrospect so I might tell them some other time.
Sorry for seriousness, I just wanted to post this cause I don't really tell people at all, so annon over the internet, it's nice to get this crap off my shoulders once in a while.

Biker Mice from Mars
As a child I once took a week off school just to play Biker Mice from Mars on the SNES. That and having every Bucky O Hare related toy ever released may have been the reason I had to change schools.
I'm better now though.
