We’re having one on Saturday with friends, but I’m thinking of suggesting this for next year.

I thought I was going to die of boredom in Tree of Life - and I’m a big fan of Brad Pitt.

You have my sympathy. No-one should have to put up with that, and you’ve asked nicely. I used to work nights on the top floor of a…

Thanks, all, for your helpful advice. I think I’ve pretty much had my questions answered. It being a government department that’s…

Thanks so much for responding, entropysbane. I love the serial killer screening part! I think I can get past that! 😂 I was on a contract…
