Tron Legacy
Dec. 19th, 2010 09:50 amA friend of mine (ex-flatmate) works for a cinema. As a result he gets various freebies. One of them was for a special showing of Tron Legacy. The showing was in leicester Square at 10:00. Normally this would be easy. Train to Victoria followed by tube is an hour and a half.
In the snow, time taken is 1h30m + n where n is a wild guess. The 7:55 was cancelled. The next available train was to London Bridge which isn't as convenient for Leicester Square or as fast or as cheap. On the other had it was on time so I paid the extra. I coulod have changed at East Croydon but had no idea whether that would be better.
But I arrived. And in reasonable time. And ex-flatmate was there along with his son. As was![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
forbiddendanish and various people he knows. Had I realised people of that class were coming I wouldn't have come... scotiva . Enjoyed the film but probably not going in the all-time greats collection. Fun in the same way Transformers was. The Wee-one was well enough trained not to make too much noise or disrupt anything but I knew he'd be okay because his mother believes in things like rules and discipline.
So spent the rest of the afternoon with Scotiva. Went to the pie shop in Covent garden. They had reindeer pie! Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, with gravy and mash for lunchtime nutrition. Finished ALL my Christmas shopping (almost - a couple of odds and ends for friends but don't expect to see them before Chrimbo). This means I get Sunday off! Woohoo!
