    Royal Holloway General Chat Thread
    Just thought it might be nice for us RHUL-ers/future RHUL-ers to have somewhere to just chat about anything and everything. Chat here doesn't have to be about RHUL, it can be about your favourite films or what you've been up to lately or all that sort of stuff. Just anything.

    I guess the requirement to join in the chatter here would have to be that you're either at RHUL now or have firmed it for the next academic year. It'll give us a chance to get to know each other better and also means that off-topic chatter can be moved here instead of in other less appropriate threads.

    So, discuss away! :woo:

    Sure, ill kick this off with a friendly warning aha.

    Thinking of going to the cinema any time soon? A nightmare on elm street?

    Just walk BACK out the door, by far the worst film this year. Might have actually been better with Brendan Fraser as Freddy. (Yeah i just said that) :lol:

    But no seriously, don't.

    Sorry for turning this into a rant aha! Gotta get the ball rolling some how

    Really, it's that bad? That's a shame, I was hoping it might possibly be good...There seems to be nothing on in the cinema at the moment.

    And yes, thanks for starting us off. I was afraid that a bit of tumbleweed might come rolling by...:eek3:

    Me and my sister have been working our way through the original collection of Nightmare on Elm Street and I have to say...they're pretty frightening! I think it's just the concept of Freddy that scares me! xox

    I hear that movie is epic. The funny thing is that I never got to see it! I really should make more of an effort. Poor form on my behalf. Other then the Vue in Staines, what other good cinemas are there in the region? I'm guessing Windsor has some?

    Is the Vue any good? Where i live we have a Cineworld which is pretty nice. If not looks like i'll be relying on ThePirateBay when I arrive!

    The Vue is alright, although they pull all that crap with the 'VIP seats', basically charging you a fortune to sit in the middle centre.

    It's quite expensive, but no more so than most southern cinemas. Atleast they have automated ticket machines so you don't have to speak to other human beings.

    I'm supposed to be revising for my unit 2 biology exam, but you have no idea how difficult it is to motivate yourself when you have an unconditional offer. I'm still trying to figure out why I volunteered to do this extra year.

    But then again, I'm going out for some Nando's in an hour so it's all good.

    Is Nandos just KFC but with less street beggars waiting outside to hassle you?

    No, because Nando's has that amazing Peri Peri sauce thing that actually gives me orgasms, I swear.

    Okay, yes it is basically KFC but with less street beggars outside. And the Peri Peri sauce!
