I think the plan is to go back to the same cinema we saw FotR and TTT, tis a good cinema and we can usually get first night tickets (although if we get so much as a sniff of somewhere doing a LOTR marathon, we're there). Thanks anyway, I'm not sure my funds would survive a trip to London at the best of times. :mrgreen:

Add a little tourism, library and pub time (see, I've got my priorities straight!) into the deal, and I'm in. Seriously.

Holy shit. Even Tampa -> Tallahasee (within one state) costs a minimum of $39 USD, nevermind where you're travelling to/from.

innerbrat, obviously you understand that if I indeed go, I'm inviting you to go out one night, and you absolutely cannot refuse, since you've shattered my ego enough already with your coment to my latest posted pic.

I'm not that bad looking.

Love to.

Don't know how things like work will interact with it though.

(I still have holiday un-booked, but christmas is our peak period, and it's fucking difficult to get holiday time approved)

What with one thing and another, I didn't get round to seeing the other two in a cinema, and I've been avoiding them on the small screen. I need a marathon.

Most places have Airport tax, Uk's is normally £20 flat rate, add whatever airport tax is charged by the country you're flying from then any taxes levied by the country you live in (like in the UK it would be VAT) and you can easily have a ticket costing £15 and tax of £50. :wink:
