Hi all Earlier this year Mr Grey and his 50 shades set a new box office opening weekend record in South Africa. And last weekend, Messrs Walker and Diesel trumped that with Fast & Furious 7, which also set assorted records overseas. In fact it has already made more money than the first four episodes combined. With a rather lacklustre lineup this weekend, it should continue to do well both here and internationally. On the previews side, there are previews all over all day Saturday and Sunday for the Liam Neeson thriller Run All Night, see the Previews page and remember to book.

He sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more. The bartender approaches and tells the cowboy, "You know, a mug goes flat after I draw it. It would taste better if you bought one at a time.." The cowboy replies, "Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is an Airborne Ranger, the other is a Navy Seal, both serving overseas somewhere. When we all left our home in Texas, we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days when we drank together. So I'm drinking one beer for each of my brothers and one for myself." The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there. The cowboy becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way. He orders three mugs and drinks them in turn. One day, he comes in and only orders two mugs. All the regulars take notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, "I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your loss." The cowboy looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns in his eyes and he laughs. "Oh no, everybody's just fine," he explains, "It's just that my wife and I joined the Baptist Church and I had to quit drinking." "Hasn't affected my brothers though...." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was sitting on the edge of the bed, watching my wife, Vicky who was looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not far off I asked what she'd like for her birthday. 'I'd like to be eight again', she replied, still looking in the mirror . On the morning of her Birthday, I arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Coco Pops, and then took her to Adventure World theme park. What a day! I put her on every ride in the park; the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Roller Coaster, everything there was. Five hours later we staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down. I then took her to a McDonald's and ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a chocolate shake. Then it was off to a movie, popcorn, a soda pop, and her favorite candy, M&M's. What a fabulous adventure! Finally she wobbled home and collapsed into bed exhausted. I leaned over my wife & with a big smile lovingly asked, 'Well Dear, what was it like being eight again? Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed. 'I meant my dress size, you idiot!!!!' The moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he is gonna get it wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The United States has elected the first woman President, Susan Goldfarb. She calls up her mother a few weeks after Election Day and says, "So, Mom, I assume you'll be coming to my inauguration?' 'I don't think so. It's a ten hour drive, your father isn't as young as he used to be, and my arthritis is acting up again.' 'Don't worry about it Mom, I'll send Air Force One to pick you up and take you home. And a limousine will pick you up at your door.' 'I don't know. Everybody will be so fancy-schmantzy, what on earth would I wear?' Susan replies, "I'll make sure you have a wonderful gown custom-made by the best designer in New York.' "Honey,' Mom complains, 'you know I can't eat those rich foods you and your friends like to eat.' The President-to-be responds, 'Don't worry Mom. The entire affair is going to be handled by the best caterer in New York, kosher all the way. Mom, I really want you to come.' So Mom reluctantly agrees and on January 20, 2017, Susan Goldfarb is being sworn in as President of the United States. In the front row sits the new President's mother, who leans over to a senator sitting next to her and says, 'You see that woman over there with her hand on the Torah, becoming President of the United States? The Senator whispers back, "Yes I do.' Mom says proudly, 'Her brother is a doctor'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- A man is recovering from surgery when the Surgical Nurse appears and asks him how he is feeling. "I'm O. K. but I didn't like the four-letter-word the doctor used in surgery," he answered. "What did he say," asked the nurse. "OOPS" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- A six year old goes to the hospital with his grandma to visit his grandpa. When they get to the hospital, he runs ahead of his grandma and bursts into his grandpa's room. "Grandpa, Grandpa," he says excitedly, "as soon as Grandma comes into the room, make a noise like a frog!" What?" said his grandpa. "Make a noise like a frog because grandma said that as soon as you croak, we're going to Disneyland!!!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two bored casino dealers are waiting at the crap table. A very attractive blonde woman from Tasmania arrived and bet twenty-thousand dollars ($20,000) on a single roll of the dice. She said, 'I hope you don't mind, but I feel much luckier when I play topless.' With that, she stripped to the waist; rolled the dice; and yelled, 'Come on, baby, Tassie Girl needs new clothes!' As the dice came to a stop, she jumped up-and-down and squealed 'YES! YES! I WON! I WON!' She hugged each of the dealers... and then picked up her winnings and her clothes, and quickly departed. The dealers stared at each other dumfounded. Finally, one of them asked, 'What did she roll?' The other answered, 'I don't know I thought you were watching.' Moral --- Not all Tasmanians are stupid. Not all blondes are dumb. But, all men are men. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- A thief in Paris planned to steal some paintings from the Louvre... After careful planning, he got past security, stole the paintings and made it safely to his van. However, he was captured only two blocks away when his van ran out of gas. When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied, "Monsieur that is the reason I stole the paintings... I had no Monet To buy Degas To make the Van Gogh" See if you have De Gaulle to send this on to someone else. I sent it to you because I figured I had nothing Toulouse. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
