hi just wounderd love gowing on boats and the sea but know it is just so much faster by air.

has anyone else ever had the problem i seem to have no matter where i go, my sister and i took my young nephew, and my son to the cinema, only to have the inconsdierate man behind constantly kicking my seat, no matter how many times i asked him to be a little bit more considerate, and not to kick my seat,he just continued as if i hadnt said a word, i woulnt mind but he was in his mid 40's to early 50's at least. i get this if i go on a bus, a plane, the cinema,even if i attend my sons annual shows at school. it is so annoying, why cant people be more considerate towards other people.
does anyone else get this or is it just me?
hope all you fellow tolunies have a lovely weekend.
take care.luv jo x

I have experienced cinema rage before. I was watching a film with my friend when we were twice showered with sweets thrown from the back row. After the second time, my friend got an usherette to throw them out. I think she was right in doing so.

I enjoy going to the cinema but i think its so expensive! Down where i live in Kent our local cinema charges £7.35 for 1 person! When you can buy the dvd a month later approx £10 and as many people can watch it as you like. The popcorn/drinks/sweets are also a rip off and now they dont allow you to take in your own food. I agree its a treat to go to the cinema but so expensive

i love the cinema when the new films are out.

This was sent to me in an email from our good Toluna buddy Caroldukest and she gave me permission to share it with you all...thanks carol, this is soo freaky, what i call synchronicities rather than coincidences....

Have a history teacher explain this----- if they can. ....

Personally I would rather be happy and poor

I know that money can bring happiness only to a certain extent

For example when I was a child my parents were quite poor so we never went to Alton Towers in the summer holidays and I never had kickers or the must have item at the time but I still had quite a happy childhood. I think as a result of this I have been brought up well and quite a fairly rounded person with values and morals

Money can bring happiness but there's a threshold over which more money has no impact: it's then a question of the individual's innate capacity for happiness. I used to have much more money than I needed. I was miserable because I hated the job I was doing at the time. Now I'm poorer and a good deal happier because I'm following my dream. To be poor, in the sense of having too little money to afford enough food, clothes and shelter is likely to result in unhappiness - although again a person's innate capacity for happiness may overcome this to some extent. I don't know.
