Hi all Well it's Mother's Day on Sunday so we have the latest Garry Marshall holiday-themed tie-in movie to celebrate. Unfortunately it's not exactly in Pretty Woman or even The Princess Diaries class, judging by the reviews. The big release is the adult comedy Bad Neighbours 2, which in contrast (and unexpectedly) actually got some decent reviews. Also up is a new Afrikaans love triangle, a faith-based drama, and some smaller releases for niche markets. There are a few previews next Thursday for the upcoming Afrikaans film Uitvlucht, see the Previews page and remember to book.

From this date onwards, the correct term will be:"Euronating". It is hoped that this will be a great-relief to everyone. If you have any questions, just give us a tinkle. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- No English dictionary has been able to adequately explain the difference between these two words. In a recent linguistic competition held in London and attended by, supposedly, the best in the world, Samdar Balgobin, a Guyanese man, was the clear winner with a standing ovation which lasted over 5 minutes. The final question was: How do you explain the difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED in a way that is easy to understand? Some people say there is no difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED. Here is his astute answer: When you marry the right woman, you are COMPLETE. When you marry the wrong woman, you are FINISHED. And when the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are COMPLETELY FINISHED!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- A man and a woman are seated next to each other on a flight. They start eying each other, and both realize they want to do the same thing. He slips a condom out of his pocket, and she looks delighted. Rear toilet? He suggests. Five minutes, she agrees and goes off. He waits five minutes, then goes and slips in there with her. Right, get that condom on, she says. Soon, they are both sighing with pleasure. But a sharp eyed stewardess has noticed them, and realized what they are up to, So, she humiliates them by making an announcement over the PA system. "To the lady and gentleman in the rear toilet, we know what you are doing, and it is expressly forbidden by airline regulations. Now, please put those cigarettes out and take the condom off the smoke detector." And what were you thinking? I worry about you sometimes! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rerunning an oldie ... 200 crows were found dead recently and there was concern that it may have been caused by avian flu. A bird pathologist examined the remains and to, everyone's relief, confirmed that the problem was not avian flu, but rather vehicular impact. Varying colours of paint appeared on the bird's beaks and claws. By analysing the paint residues it was determined 98% of the crows had been killed by trucks, while only 2% were killed by cars. An ornithological behaviourist was hired to determine if there was a cause for the disproportionate percentage of truck kills versus car kills. He very quickly concluded the cause. When crows eat roadkill, they always have a lookout crow in a nearby tree to warn of impending danger They discovered that while all the lookout crows could shout 'CAH', not a single one could shout 'TRUCK'! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...
