[url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/west_yorkshire/8181052.stm16-year-old boy has appeared in court in connection with a bleach attack on a woman who asked a group of youths to be quiet in a cinema[/url

I saw our Very own Lawrie when taking my missus and daughter to see Harry Potter a week last Monday and again full of youths carrying on making noise and it was down to adults in the Audience to ask them to be quiet including my partner - i'm glad she didnt get this abuse back though.

No need to mention me at all

I was wondering why he mentioned you

I thought ushers were supposed to control the audience?

I thought it was Lord of the Rings you were in anyway?

I didnt know he did that

Well I am unsure. He might not have been promoted yet.

Did you do the Lawrie Lee chant when you saw him?

Loz - He saw you at the cinema - whats the problem ???

If you shouldn't have been there then let me know and I'll delete the reference.


Going forward on this thread - the specific case is in the hands of the courts now so no discussion of the actual incident or the people involved please.



In general, I find it of concern that since this story broke there has been a lack of comment from the cinema involved with reference to the duty of care that they presumably have towards their paying clientele, none of this has reflected very well on them and the last thing they would want is for families to go and watch films at another location if they feel unsafe at one particular site, maybe they've forgotten just how hard it was for them to regain public approval during the 1980's when home video slaughtered their industry ?

Crap isn't it?

I told some lads on the bus on Friday to put some decent music or at leats turn it down because it was doing my head in and I have to listen to bang bang music at work so didn't want to hear it on the bus.

He laughed but did actually turn it down after I asked again.

He then with his mate walked behind me most of the way home and was playing it. I laughed and said "i've heared that sh11te on the bus, Do I have to listen to it now aswell".

Turns out I used to know of them, and he has had countless visits to the youth offenders.

on another note, it's the first time i've seen 18 year old showings on offer which is a good idea. although no good to me when having a minor with me.

I forgot how bad that was until last week when i forgot my headphones and had to listen to Chipmunks sining some crap song!!!

Chip-diddy-chip.

I recently went to see a film at the Ster in Bradford. It was a Friday night and the worst cinema going experience I have EVER had.

The cinema staff made a couple of attempts to quieten a large group of teenagers.

I was with friends rather than wife and children so i did, at one point, threaten two teenage lads, in the presence of their young girlfriends, that if they didn't shut up I would take them into the car park and give them the beating of their life. They did shut up but the film was a lost cause by then.

I will no longer use that cinema.

But when you see whats happend to this female, would you think twice next time you feel the need to tell the kids to shut up??

yes I would. To be honest my actions were probably foolhardy but I was at the end of my tether.

One of my mates was ready to leave and ask for a refund and the point I snapped and I thought why the should we.

Luckily for me the two lads were scared of me and embarrassed in front of their chav girlfriends.

You're right though, this case did make me stop of think about my experience.

Why hasnt the place where the incident actually took place been mentioned? How can they let a group of kids come into there establishment and attack a lady?

I don't think the kids will have gone in with a sign saying highlighting what they were about to do.

From what I remember from reading the story the woman and her family were at a table near the door. The woman had her back to the door and it was quite simply a case of theses cocks coming in, throwing the bleach over her and then doing one.

It has, its been in the news media all week, Frankie & Bennie's, there I've named it.

I've no doubt that they too do not like their brand name associated with such thuggery, nor will the operators of the Kirkstall Village Complex which, quite frankly, has had a reputation as Chav Central for a few years now, turfing out time at the u18 nights at the nightclub there (is it still trading ?) always had a bigger police presence than RL matches at Headingley.

The really annoying thing is they've got their own security base actually on site

Jabroney.

Evo?! Had a night the other month but I dont believe it is

Used to be sound as a pound Evolution. Sound because Monday nights was student night and it was a pound a drink.


Good times.

Opening up again next term, on a Wednesday nights by the looks of it too.
