We had our tickets a couple of months in advance too - My cousin was born in December '77, and I remember sitting in the Avenue hospital in Brid, reading a big glossy souvenir magazine and thinking about going to see it in a matter of weeks.<br /><br />Real sense of event about it, and it was also the last time my Dad ever went to the cinema!

I had a choc-ice and was so absorbed by the film I forgot I had it in my hand. I was wearing it by the end of the film.<br /><br />MiloAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
