    Fallen asleep in the cinema?</p>

    Just been listening to two tools in the lift, one reckoned he'd gone to see Rocknrolla last night, but found it that dull he fell asleep half way though so couldn't give a full account of it. I think that's /poo . I've seen some really pissy crap at the cinema, I've even walked out once I was so pissed off (Highlander 3), but i've never fallen asleep in there, nor has anybody else that I actually know. Do people really do this?</p>

    I have a friend who does regularly

    Once the lights go down you're lucky if you get half an hour out of her before she starts knocking the Z's out.
    Only problem is, every time I've taken her to the cinema, my wife's been with me :D

    Well there you go, it seems that some people do, but most likely in most cases this is down to fatigue or simply not being the target audience? Perhaps there's (another) research paper on cinemapnea waiting to be written. Still nobody I actually know has nodded off.

    Owen in answer to your question two teens but thankfully I'm never hardly on cinema duty!

    My mate fell asleep at the millenium stadium he was that drunk and a different mate fell asleep in the open end at Pompey a few years back when it was literally bouncing down with rain
