EDITORIAL A GUYS GUIDE TO SURVIVING VALENTINE'S DAY!! When it comes to pleasing his woman, a man's work is never done. You just recovered from finding your beloved the perfect Christmas gift. Now it's already time to celebrate Valentine's Day. A few tips here!! Don't buy anything in a size large. Sweaters, lingerie and baby teddies can make fine Valentine Day gifts. But make sure you buy them a size smaller than what you think she wears. I don't care if your woman weighs 450 pounds or if she has a 36DD chest. If you buy a large, she'll assume you did it because you think she's fat. She'll cry during dinner and pick at a pathetic salad. Then you'll spend all night apologising instead of putting your mouth to better uses. Don't fall for her lines. You think you've got some smooth quips in store for the big night. Puhleeze. Women tell all sorts of pre-Valentine's Day lies. Here's two to never fall for: "Let's not buy each other gifts. It's a stupid Hallmark holiday." Trust us - she'll end up buying you a gift. And if she hands you a card, rest assured that hockey tickets are inside. Have a gift, ready to go and wrapped in the closet. If you don't need it, use it next year. On her or someone else. Also watch out for, "Let's not spend more than $20 on gifts." She'll spend $40, then cry during dinner, and pick at a pathetic salad (see above). Beware women who hate traditional gifts. Some women are offended that you can't come up with anything more original than a teddy bear, chocolate or roses. To them, it's a sign that you don't know them well enough to find something unique. Other women are likewise offended by lingerie. If you're not sure how your woman would react to a traditional gift, take the safe route. Get her a gift certificate for a day at a spa. Things to never say. "Let's go to dinner on February 15th, when restaurants aren't so crowded." "I'll pick you up after I go out with the guys." "I can't sleep over tonight." "Do we have to listen to this music " If you follow these tips, you should still have a girlfriend you can get smoochy with even on St. Patrick's Day!! ++++ Watchdog This is the worst year for rainfall since a Suburbs Resident started keeping records in 1898... ++++ 2) Notices and Events Welcome to 2020 - a year of letting go and self healing.

MARY POPPINS In Edwardian London, a magical nanny employs music and adventure to help two neglected children become closer to their father ... but 'Mary Poppins' surely needs no introduction. Or reviews, but here are a few even so! A most wonderful, cheering movie it is, with its splices and seams fairly splitting with Poppins marvels turned out by the Walt Disney studio. [New York Times] Julie Andrews' first appearance on the screen is a signal triumph and she performs as easily as she sings, displaying a fresh type of beauty nicely adaptable to the colour cameras.[Variety, 3 March 2008] Even better than you remember, better than anyone could have hoped, better than almost any other movie of its kind. [Nick's Flick Picks] Admission: $20.00 [free to Red Carpet members] ['Mary Poppins Returns' will be shown on Friday 27 March] THURSDAY 20 FEBRUARY AT 7.00 P.M. THE PINK PANTHER STRIKES AGAIN Most Inspector Clouseau fans regard 'The Pink Panther Strikes Again' as the best of the clumsy Parisian detective's comeback films of the 1970s. Now seriously mentally ill after working with Clouseau for such a long time, Inspector Dreyfus has finally cracked but he escapes from a mental institution and launches an elaborate plan to get rid of his nemesis once and for all. The best of the series, it stands as a glowing tribute to the comedic genius of Peter Sellers. I rate this one 10/10. [IMDb] In my book, THE best of the Pink Panthers ; Sellers is quite hilarious. [Video-Reviewmaster.com] Fifth Pink Panther is one of the funniest. Sellers' hilarious Clouseau is backed up by better-than-usual gags...

WAGNER: THE FLYING DUTCHMAN Wagner's drama of a sea captain, cursed to wander the ocean forever until he can be redeemed by the love and self-sacrifice of a good woman, is a relatively early work, still in touch with traditional operatic procedures and accessible to people who are not hard-core Wagnerians. In this production, it comes across with strong impact as the performance is staged outdoors in the courtyard of a 500-year-old Finnish castle, which gives it an atmosphere and realism almost impossible to create in a conventional theatre. Vocally, it would be hard to find a better 'Flying Dutchman'. Hildegard Behrens, Matti Salminen and Franz Grundheber were among the finest Wagnerian singers of the late 20th century, and all were in top vocal form on this occasion. [Amazon] I can think of no more atmospheric setting. The ingenuity with which 'The Flying Dutchman' was presented is quite remarkable.
