Would it be safe to assume this is the cinema's weekend popcorn I've bought?  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Cinema popcorn has become increasingly crap in quality.

I'm not totally convinced a lot of cinema actually pop their own on site any more. I've seen staff lobbing around great big bin-bag size bags full in more than once cinema recently. It just get dumbed into a hopper and kept warm rather than being freshly popped.

Which is probably why it has a stale quality to it and is probably over-flavoured to hide this. _________________He fights for the users.

Unfortunately this wasn't even over-flavoured. Gave up in the end but it didn't matter; Mad Max was amazing once it got out of second gear (pun intended). _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

 Those should be awesome when they arrive  An electric trimmer for ageing male hair problems has been brilliant. As should a cheap micro SD card once I get testing it. Galaxy drinking chocolate powder is rubbish no matter what you do with it... Some cheap jelly beans have gone down a treat, I just wish I liked them! My Lego Flatiron building... I dunno, it's the sort of thing needs to be in the right setting, maybe. It looks a bit lost in a big office. _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Talk about engineered down to a price. Total crap.

Yeah the Zebras are good - apart from the driver interface (don't like that much) The Intermec PD42 was great but the PD43 couldn't be more different. (Well, it could be a goldfish but you take my point...) _________________Jim

A £1 USB hoover has proved absolutely brilliant! It's even got genuinely useful attachments lol.
My old-skool Marvel covers notebook looks well too.

The problem is the vast quantity they need to pop in most of the big cinemas. With the machine that would fit into the kiosks, they just wouldn't be able to pop enough to keep up with demand. That means that they either have to have a large industrial sized machine out the back to pop corn - and probably they have to start and hour or so before the customers rush in, or they buy it pre-bagged from a wholesaler.

 Epic beard brush. Paid £20 for it but it's definitely helping straighten out my lucious facial locks and keep it looking tidy and manly at the same time.

Finally got hold of a TMNT figure on the cheap for the nephew - I sure as fcuk wasn't paying £30 for it.
And I just bought some Predator figures that will either be displayed or a potential investment, I'll decide when they arrive.
