Sorry I don't do cinemas. I am a person that does not like enclosed spaces, as I work outside and love my gardening too.

One of my school friends had a rabbit called "Pie" which I thought was a bit near the knuckle until I realised his mum was a maths teacher and it was called Pye...  ::)

The only reason for me calling the rabbit Stewpot and the pig Snack was that if the rabbit bite me again he who go in one and the peruvians had them as snacks.

I love guinea pigs.  All the gorgeous pics makes we go weak at the kness.  I loved having one sitting on my lap of an evening watching TV.

We had one that had 6 babies.  She was so big she was circular with a slightly pointed bit - her nose sticking out.  When at last they were born the pile of little ones was twice the size of the mother pig.

The six followed mum round it was very funny, until a squirrel got into the run and they followed that, until it climbed up the side and they just sat and squealed becuase they could not follow.
