Our patroness is considered rather taking when she is animated

and the Vice Chancellor would like to remind you all of the importance of the wearing of a correctly tied cravat.

Ladies, I am getting a bit concerned about the filn for Thursday. Can anybody remember where I said it was showing? LadyV said Leicester Square would be good but I now can't find it on there. Vue has the 3D version only and none of the other have it at all, as far as I can see. What cinemas are in Leics. Sq., does anybody know? Empire, Odeon and Vue - any more?

I will try and catch LadyV on Twitter tomorrow...

Another glimpse of that lovely, manly hand. And have you never noticed the fine forearm in the facepalm pic? That, and the thumb? Why do you think I post it so often?

Thank you for the card, LadyDamerel, although I can assure you I've never had the slightest difficulty hanging onto my man as you discovered to your cost last night.

You just read my mind Twigs

I was going to say that I'd have told them to bugger off, but the circs were a bit weird? Let's just hope they don't tell their mates - perhaps you'd better pick the rest quickly and turn them into crumbles.

The Empire was mentioned, Twigs.

The facepalm and the sleeping on his desk are both excellent examples, Maud.

It is such a shame to have long sleeves covering them up.

Twiggy - Use your IT skills to make a sign saying that your plum tree is being used to test a new pesticide which not only kills plum moth (there is such a thing) but causes severe symptoms in humans. You can add your own list of examples - I'd include vomiting, diarrhoea and impotence.

Yes, I thought I said the Empire too Spiro, but it's not showing up as being on there. Perhaps we'll have to forget Leicester Square...

As far as I can see, it's not in 2D anywhere in central London :( The 3D version is supposed to be very blurry too and 'they' are recommending seeing it in 2D...

Have to retire now. Night all!

Nighty knight, Twiggy!

Oh no. We need a Plan.

Who knows London and which cinemas would be easy to get to?

Lady D - have just PM'd Twigs - It's on in 2D at Marble Arch Odeon at 3.10pm which is 5 stops (2 lines) from Covent Garden.

Bearing in mind I know nothing about the geography of London, this is what I have found

Cineworld O2 Greenwich has it in 2D
Cineworld Hammersmith, ditto

Odeon is showing it at Marble Arch & Kensington but only in 3D it would appear, even though I searched for 2d .

Vue at Finchley Road (o2) 3:45 showing or Fulham Broadway 2:30 or 5:15 showing or Islington 3:15 or Shepherds Bush 1:00 or 3:55

Where else is on your itinerary? (PM me if you don't want to broadcast it to all the truckers). Most of the venues LadyDamerel mentions are rather remote from your other destinations, I suspect.

See, I checked there as I do actually know where Marble Arch is and on the initial screen it implied it was only in 3D but when you go further in it says 2D .

::wishes she'd checked properly first instead of panicking::

Are we going to book or just chance it? It seems fairly empty at the moment.

Lunch in Covent Garden is all I know, Maud. But hopefully Spiro has sorted it......

I'll be with you in spirit and tuning in to police radios to keep track of your antics.

Twigs has booked the restaurant at CG for 12.30pm I think.

Personally I'm happy to just rock up to the cinema on the day. With so many places showing it and 3D being available I can't see we'll have any problem getting in.

Are you off on your hols then Maud, or just still not convinced about meeting your fellow nutters Academicians?

We'll be doing a thorough search before we sit down, .

My spies will have staked the place out, LadyDamerel.

The holiday is a cunning ploy, Spiro.

She has to live in London whereas we are all going to leave and she will forever be tarred with the chaos and disgrace we have spread in our wake.

::Eyes. Maud, Eyes:: I'm on to you.

That's the pointing to your eyes with your first 2 fingers, pointing at the other person then pointing at your eyes again. It doesn't come across well in the written form.

Now Maud.

::stern::

You know that if certain members of the group were to spy that visage peeping from behind a flowerpot there would be most undignified behaviour that would most likely result in arrests and injunctions.

My laptop battery has only seconds left before it gives up so I'm away to my bed. At least I can sleep knowing the cinema issue is sorted!

Night all.

::looks back at you::

Fabulous close up of the Forearms there again, Maud. Lovely.
