Hmmm...I've never quite been able to face up to food at 7am, let alone
fried grease dipped in fat (They may call them sausages, but I know better).  
But that's only my opinion.

My advice is to wait till 11.15am for breakfast and take about an hour and
a half (it's a relatively short film).  If you time it right you should completely miss Highlander II.

Really really really good. Well worth seeing.

I've seen this film 4-5 times (don't remember exactly) and I still like it.
Definately worth seeing.

Oh goody, back to back, we can see how many mistakes there are between the
first and the second.  Twice the fun, twice the violence.

Is this the one with the Aliens kidnapping Scientists at this Mansion in
the Countryside ? If it is, I've never actually seen all of this film, because 
every time they show it at the 24 hr SF the Coffee and the Scotch and Coke 
runs out at about 5am so I fall asleep at the bit where they find out the
truth about the Aliens.

>IMHO this is possibly the best scifi I have ever seen....
>(except Highl. II should be on at about 7pm so we can go to dinner)
Yup, Certainly better than the last one which I didn't even bother turning
up to.

>also where and when are we having dinner ?

I've found a good source of nourishment, especially if you are a poor
student, is to go out an buy a loaf or two of bread and some sandwich
fillings and make lots and lots of sandwiches to munch on.  Don't forget
the thermos of coffee.  And if you buy beer, hide it well, because they
tend to get a little annoyed if they catch you.
