Capital Summertime Ball 2024

I think an appropriate song for Josh might be "the wheels on the bus go round and round" -- stop getting your mum to pick you up, you're 14, you can make your own way home! (depending on the quality of public transport in Josh's area).

It does make me feel quite old, although it's a nice feeling not to be back at school at the beginning of September.

/me feels left out as she's only just started college

I don't see the point of the IPCC getting involved in this, if you live by the sword, you die by the sword.

I'm off to get ready and stuff, so I'll have the review up tomorrow afternoon, if that's okay with Jonny.

Haha that's quite true. How American, parents turning up in their flash cars.

[Danishgirl]

And I'm back again

[Jono]

Wow, what a diverse amount of listeners there are. Do people on here watch cookery shows like Ainsley's?

[Danishgirl]

I like this song! The Hoosiers... didn't they make "Worried about Ray"?

They have to investigate any case where someone is killed by the police, no matter what the reason. I suppose it's good to think that the police can't just shoot people dead and not be held accountable in some way, like they can in many countries. They also have to investigate if anyone dies in custody.

It is quite American, being picked up in a car by your mum, reminds me of the video for Stacey's Mom.

[Jono]

Hmm, Paddington Bear is appearing in adverts for Marmite. That's wrong, he eats Marmalade not Marmite!

[Danishgirl]

What is marmite :confused:?

[Jono]

What is marmite :confused:?

God knows, I don't touch the thing.

[Danishgirl]

God knows, I don't touch the thing.

Okay. I'll just look it up on Wikipedia or something...

[Jono]

I can't believe I am able to say I saw Run Fatboy Run. I almost sound like I'm a regular to the cinema.

Green monster, Chappers? I almost said Flubber

[Lucinda]

I was just reading about that: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/6992874.stm

We still have some Paddington videos here.

Cinemas are overrated and expensive, watching films online on DVD is much better.

[Danishgirl]

The last film I saw was The Simpsons, before that it was Harry Potter and before that it was You, Me And Dupree - but that one's a year ago now! I don't normally go much to the cinema - it's way too expensive!

[Jono]

I do Orange Wednesdays. Buy 1 Get 1 Free. But still, even then that's £6. The movie started at 1.30, it didn't actually begin till 2pm. I mean how can they charge so much AND show us half an hour of adverts?

[Danishgirl]

How is it in England, are you allowed to bring your own drinks, snacks...?

[Jono]

Don't think so, no. I did however sneak in a great egg sandwich from Morrisons, and I supposedly stunk the place out

[Jono]

She has a shopping centre in her garden? I imagine Chappelfield here in Norwich would have that sort of birthday thing. That's quite new, no idea what they did for their first year.

[Lucinda]

At my local cinema (Vue) I can take food in, or buy it at hugely inflated prices there. At my friend's local cinema though (CineWorld) couldn't take in food, but the tickets were at least £1 cheaper and both cinemas are in London suburbs. The last film I saw at the cinema was Harry Potter, involved a really long walk to get there, about an hour and a half of walking, but the good thing is, we missed the adverts (and a couple of showings).

One of my friends and I once tried to sneak in some snacks etc, but they asked us to hand everythin in at the entrance. When they saw the snakcs we just said: "It's not for the cinema, it's because we're having a sleep over tonight..." After that we only had money for 4 lollipops because we had spent it all on the snacks...

[Grace]

Oh come on Scott, you have to come! (Bring a stab vest.)

[Jono]

Hmm, my bet is on Steve Brookstein appearing next. Heat magazine eat your heart out.

[Kelly]

Oh come on Scott, you have to come!

Good actual mornin'.

I want Scott to do Strictly Come Dancing. :cry:

[Jono]

Are they in a toilet talking to Newsbeat?
