I carry a bag of small, hard lollies when I go to the movies and throw them at peoples heads when they use their mobiles in the theatre...

I used to go to a similar thing in UK in the 60s and I kid you not, the usherette used to come down the aisle with a german shepherd
Posted: Mon Sep 08, 2014 5:46 pmI can recall at the old Metro cinema in Mangere East whereby we used to suck some of the hard shell off the jaffas and biff them at the screen or roll the hard ones down the wooden floor.
The seats were not bolted to the floor but instead would be attached about 5 seats to a plank so that they could be moved and the theatre used for dancing. Often idiots would rock back and forth in the seats and every so often there would be one hell of a crash as they went over.
I have lost count of the number of times that the lights would come on and the Manager would brave the jaffas to tell us all off.
Now that's back when the Sat matinee was 20c not $20 and a good sized bag of sweets was 5c.....and they had fake cigarettes and all the stuff banned by the PC brigade

Yeah .. Death by Jaffa ! .. those were amazing days ... looking at the old style roofs in the buildings , Fake Cigarettes .. they were very tasty .. even the packet with .
Six decades ago, we could get into the kids' Saturday morning show for threepence. In real money, that was either one lemonade bottle, or two two-pound jam jars, or six one-pound ones, or any combination that added up to threepence. You took them to the grocer and got cash in exchange, as a returned deposit paid on the full container. If we had any extra pocket money, the thing was to get an orange drink which came in a squarish plastic carton with a cardboard lid. If you were careful inserting the straw, once the drink was finished you could crush the carton and fire the wet straw about six rows forward
Funny you look at it, when I was 6-10 I guess it was the early Sunday morning radio .. "Sparky and the talking train" and "Flick the little Fire engine" ...

Wonderful!
My mobile phone is permanently switched off, wherever I am.
I just carry it to phone the breakdown service if my motorbike decides to sulk when I am out and about!
I only use my trusty, home, land-line phone, for all my other voice communications.
I can never get the hang of using a mobile phone.
Every time is dial it, and press a button, I find I only get a photograph of my left ear...
What a waste of bloody time!
I hate the bloody annoying things to bits!.......!
I don't need to have someone mobile phoning me, whenever THEY feel like it!
The silence is wonderful!....Trust me!....
Paul...The Destroyer Of Mobile Phones.........!
