Last cinema visit

My last cinema visit was to see the newly released 'Schindler's List'. Before that, it was to a drive-in cinema in Rhodesia (1975), to see 'Towering Inferno'.. When was your last visit ?

Romantic honeymoon

After our wedding my wife and I went to the pictures in Manchester. That was our honeymoon, as we both had to go to work the following day. Was your honeymoon similarly romantic and exotic ?

Unbelievable pet owners

I read today that a woman had returned a Jack Russell pup to a rescue centre after only one day, as it clashed with her curtains. Am I alone in my total disgust ?
