1352987 2013-09-08 23:38:00 Am I the only one? They put these huge ads in the paper, most of which are taken up by company promotion, with tiny items for the movies, with no session times - you need to go to the website for that, which is equally dire. Tony (4941)
1352988 2013-09-09 00:07:00 I quite like their website, simple and intuitive to use, and has a nice mobile version too. What's a paper? inphinity (7274)

I take it back a bit about the website - I think they've improved it since I last looked.

Online you can read the lot....But you can't rest your coffee on the screen and quickly flip through the pages and quickly go back and forth and scribble on the page for the crossword...

I can't rest my coffee on the screen (although I don't drink coffee) but I can draw on the screen with my stylus :p

For your sake, I hope that's not your pick up line.

1352994 2013-09-09 03:00:00 Leaving aside the whole paper vs online thing, what I don't like about Event print ads is that they pay for a huge ad, then fill most of it with brand identification rather than actually useful content. Tony (4941)

Of course not, I'm not that stupid :p
