Me: We’re going to need a babysitter for Thursday night
Matt: How come?
Me: We’re going to a wine reception…
Matt: Why? (mmmm….wiiinne)
Me: …and then to a special preview screening of a new film…
Matt: Ooookaaay (have I forgotten an anniversary or a birthday?)
Me: …followed by a Q & A with the stars of the film.
Matt: Wow…that’ll be…interesting (weird foreign film festival alert!)…what film is it? (wincing)
Me: Hot Fuzz!
Cue lots of excited dancing up and down and girly squealing…and that was just Matt.
Yes, I finally won something! I entered a text competition in the Metro paper last week and yesterday evening I was sitting on the DART going home when I got a call to say I’d won two tickets to see a special screening of Hot Fuzz. Matt and I are huge fans of Shaun Of The Dead and had already marked their new film as one of the few that we would have to include in our ration of nights out this year. I’ll be smiling all day.

Well done, and well told story!
I’ve heard of Shaun of the Dead. I must watch it. I like zombies and humour.
Isnt it so nice to win stuff. Doesnt happen to me very often, but it did recently. Awesome.
Congratulations! I’m absolutely green with jealousy.
John, you have to see Shaun of the Dead, if you like zombies and humour you can’t go wrong!
Phil, it’s a great feeling, I’m still on a high about it…so what did you win?
Thank you Chris…I’ll keep notes, don’t worry 🙂
Congrats, that’s so cool! I NEVER win anything so I gave up trying long ago. Hope the film is all you imagined it to be 🙂
