"Roger Waters performs Pink Floyd's THE WALL at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV on Nov 26th, 2010
Tonights show was a presentation of epic proportions. Roger Waters has brought back the Floyd masterpiece THE WALL for a 2nd tour (the last and first tour was in 1980-1981 with his band Pink Floyd) and tonight's show in Vegas was the 30th of a 36 show North American Tour Water's is calling his Farewell Tour and celebration of The Wall's 30th anniversary.
Waters has performed The Wall only one time since 1981 in Berlin Germany in 1990 to commemorate the fall of The Berlin wall. The new version of the 2010 Wall show featured many of the original theatrics and monumental stage sets and props from the original tour with an injection of new technology making it a state of the art presentation in concert sound and visuals. The sound in MGM Grand Garden was absolutely perfect and music and sound effects surrounded the audience from all directions throughout.
Tonights performance of Water's masterpiece, that he wrote while with Pink Floyd, took fans on a journey through the madness, addictions and struggles of the fictional character named Pink, loosely based on Water's himself. The album was born out of Water's own isolation, dissolution and lifelong fears. Water's and the band performed all 4 sides of the album and fans watched as the wall slowly went up brick by brick finally concealing the entire band behind the wall by the end of set 1. The Wall spanned across the entire MGM Grand Garden Arena and the band returned to perform the bulk of the 2nd set behind the wall.
Water's laced the performance with modern themes and political and social messages making the show more topical for a modern audience and addressing issues he finds important to share with his audience.
Water's addressed the crowd at the end of the show after the Wall was torn down in an explosive finale. He spoke about when he wrote The Wall 30 years ago, and how he was in a different state of mind, frightened & isolated, but today he is a brighter more cheerful man and seems at peach with his place in life and he said how much he loved being on stage and being there with his fans.
If this is in fact his farewell tour, as he has stated, then it's quite an extraordinary exit he is making. Die hard Pink Floyd fans are still hopeful and waiting for him and David Gilmour to reunite one more time with drummer Nick Mason for a Pink Floyd tour….but it's unlikely and this is perhaps the final chapter for live Pink Floyd music. It's up to David Gilmour now." – Erik Kabik

UN envoy urges Sierra Leoneans to work together to advance democracy, development

18 September 2013 – A senior United Nations official today called on all Sierra Leoneans to set aside their differences and work together to advance economic development and democracy, as the world body prepares to wrap up its mission there next year.
The UN has been supporting the West African nation since the end of its civil war in 2002. In light of the significant advances that have been made over the past decade, the current mission – the UN Integrated Peacebuilding Office in Sierra Leone (UNIPSIL) – is set to fully draw down and transfer its responsibilities to the UN country team by 31 March 2014.
Briefing the Security Council today, the Secretary-General's Executive Representative and head of UNIPSIL, Jens Anders Toyberg-Frandzen, reported that the implementation of the mission's transition and exit strategy is on course.
"We are firmly set to complete a full drawdown on 31 March 2014," he stated. "At the same time, Sierra Leone has embarked on major undertakings: the launching of the country's development agenda, or 'Agenda for Prosperity', and a constitutional review exercise."
Mr. Toyberg-Frandzen noted that these undertakings are "ambitious, but essential" for the country's economic development and democratic transformation, and in addressing the root causes of the conflict.
"There are already high expectations," he said. "Success in meeting these expectations and building a prosperous, democratic and peaceful country is not only the responsibility of the Government or a particular group, but a shared responsibility of all Sierra Leoneans, including the country's political parties, civil society, traditional leaders and others.
"I therefore call on all Sierra Leoneans to set aside their political differences and group interests, and work together in a spirit of national unity to promote the development and democratization agenda of their country."
Sierra Leone, the envoy added, has made significant progress over the past decade in the consolidation of its hard-won peace and democratic transformation with the support of the UN and the international community.
"Sustaining these gains and achieving the country's ambitious development aspirations would, however, require continued efforts and commitment at strengthening and empowering [its] democratic institutions and promoting the rule of law and democratic governance," he said.
"In that respect, attention and priority should be given, among others, to combating corruption, ensuring the professionalism and independence of the security and justice sectors, and building the capacity of national institutions, including Parliament, to effectively play their role."
Guillermo E. Rishchynski, Chair of the Sierra Leone configuration of the UN Peacebuilding Commission, told the Council that while the country has made significant progress in recent years, some challenges will linger. "UN planning reflects these needs, with continued investment in conflict prevention, security sector reform, and human rights required," he noted.
"If managed successfully and inclusively, the forthcoming constitutional review also has the potential to be a transformative process, especially if it advances equality between women and men and provides a new basis for mitigating Sierra Leone's 'winner-takes-all' politics."
Recalling that the Council has requested that the Peacebuilding Commission review its engagement in Sierra Leone with a view to scaling down its role, Mr. Rishchynski said that an initial review of peacebuilding in the country will be conducted in October.
"This exercise will examine progress to date, evaluate outstanding challenges, and assess areas potentially requiring additional support," he stated. "These findings will inform a technical mission to Sierra Leone later in the fall, which will begin to establish the parameters of the Commission's own transition process."
Mr. Rishchynski said he then plans to conduct a Chair's visit in late 2013 which will provide an opportunity to discuss progress on the UN transition and the Agenda for Prosperity, as well as to finalize agreement with the Government on the nature and duration of the Commission's support.

Popular Italian restaurant Nonna and I has established itself as a family favourite in its quaint and cosy Norwood location. Now they have some very exciting news to share; they have opened a new, bigger sister restaurant so now you can bring along even more family and friends for a meal. The new digs are all very familiar, a repeat of the Tuscan mural on the walls and ceiling, the same broad and exciting menu that caters to every taste and dietary requirement (vegetarians and vegans are well catered for) and of course the ever jovial and excitable Chef Khalil and his infectious smile. Adelaide Food Central was invited to celebrate the opening of the new restaurant located on Magill Road, Kensington Gardens.
As so many traditional Italian meals do, we started off with an Antipasto Plate. Piled high with fresh mozzarella and tomato slices, strips of roasted capsicum, melt in the mouth olives, fried calamari, tomato bruschetta and Chef Kahlil's home made bread which was topped with garlic. Lashings of olive oil and balsamic vinegar graced the plate and we found ourselves asking for extra bread so as to not waste any of the tasty dressings. No antipasto plate would be complete without a glass of wine and today's pairing was one of my new favourite varietals 2016 Eden Hall Gruner Veltliner. I've seen quite a few Gruners coming through tastings recently; this one from Eden Valley Wines has notes of stone fruit, lychee and grapefruit.
For a second course we delighted in tender Beef Cheeks that swam in a balsamic and red wine reduction. The luscious meat was impeccably tender and rich and when paired with Nonna and I's signature garlic mash it was heavenly. A couple of stalks of broccoli, served just under al dente added a much needed fresh component. We thoroughly enjoyed the 2015 Stage Door Wine Co.'s Full House Cabernet Sauvignon which was full bodied enough to balance against the bold flavours of dish.
To please our sweet tooth we were presented with a helping of Tiramisu. The layered dessert of sponge fingers and cream was moist, bordering on wet with coffee and liquor. A unique texture but the table agreed it was very enjoyable. Who doesn't love a glass of sticky with a rich dessert? We indulged in a glass of 2006 Eden Hall Ratafia Riesling which ended the afternoon perfectly.
It's wonderful to see the growing success and expansion of Nonna and I. The new restaurant features a private dining space for up to 20 people that is perfect for celebrations and small functions, Chef Khalil proudly refers to the area as Little Italy. There is also a cooking school attached to the Magill Road restaurant called 324 which will conduct classes for 5-12 people. Chef Khalil's motto is "come hungry, leave happy" and now we have even more ways to do just that.

If you and your spouse nominate different homes for the period, and you own 50% or less of the home you have nominated, you qualify for an exemption for your share. If you own more than 50%, your share is exempt for half the period you and your spouse had different homes.
This rule applies to each home the spouses own, whether they have sole ownership or own the home jointly (either as joint tenants or tenants in common).
This rule applies also if you choose to treat a dwelling as your main residence when you no longer live in it, see Continuing main residence status after dwelling ceases to be your main residence, and this choice results in your having a different main residence from your spouse or a dependent child for a period.
Under a contract that was settled on 1 July 1998, Kathy and her spouse Grahame purchased a townhouse, in which they lived together. Grahame owns 70% of the townhouse while Kathy owns the other 30%.
Under a contract that was settled on 1 August 2000, they purchased a beach house, which they own in equal shares. From 1 May 2001, Kathy lives in their beach house while Grahame keeps living in the townhouse. Grahame nominated the townhouse as his main residence and Kathy nominated the beach house as her main residence.
Kathy and Grahame sold the beach house under a contract that was settled on 15 April 2013. As it was Kathy's main residence and she owned 50% of it, she disregards her share of any capital gain or capital loss for the period she and Grahame had different homes (1 May 2001 to 15 April 2013).
As Grahame did not live in the beach house or nominate it as his main residence when he and Kathy had different homes, he does not ignore his share of any capital gain or capital loss for any of the period he owned it.
Grahame and Kathy also sold the townhouse, under a contract that was settled on 15 April 2013.
As Grahame bought the townhouse before 11.45am (by legal time in the ACT) on 21 September 1999 and entered into the contract to sell it after owning his share for at least 12 months, he can use either the indexation or the discount method to calculate his capital gain.
As Kathy entered into the contract to buy the townhouse before 11.45am (by legal time in the ACT) on 21 September 1999 and entered into the contract to sell it after owning her share for at least 12 months, she can use either the discount method to calculate her capital gain or the indexation method.
Anna and her spouse, Mark, jointly purchased a townhouse under a contract that was settled on 5 February 1999. They both lived in it from that date until 29 April 2016, when the contract of sale was settled. Anna owned more than 50% of the townhouse.
Before 5 February 1999, Anna had lived alone in her own flat, which she rented out after moving to the townhouse. She then sold her flat and settled the sale on 11 March 2000. Anna chose to treat the flat as her main residence from 5 February 1999 until she sold it under the continuing main residence status after dwelling ceases to be your main residence rule.
If he chooses to treat Anna's flat as his main residence, a part of any gain Mark makes when he sells the townhouse will be taxable. He will not get an exemption for the townhouse for the period that he nominated Anna's flat as his main residence (that is, 5 February 1999 to 11 March 2000).
If Mark nominates the townhouse as his main residence, he qualifies for a full exemption on any capital gain he makes when it is sold because he owned 50% or less of it. However, because Mark and Anna have different main residences as a result of Mark's choice, and Anna owns more than 50% of the flat, her gain on the flat will only qualify for a 50% exemption for the period from 5 February 1999 to 11 March 2000.
Any capital gain Anna makes on the townhouse is taxable, except for the period from 12 March 2000 to 29 April 2016 and the part that is ignored under the moving from one main residence to another rule.

Current protected areas not enough to save parrots from extinction: Study
by Liz Kimbrough on 29 January 2021
Nearly one-third of parrot species are threatened with extinction, and a new study concludes that current protected areas are not sufficient to protect parrot diversity, overlapping with only 10% of the geographic range of all parrot species.
Agriculture is the main threat to parrots and is especially relevant in the Neotropics, where parrot species richness is highest.
The northeastern Andes and southeastern Australia are highlighted as two important hotspots for parrot conservation.
The fate of parrots is largely tied to the fate of forests, as 70% of parrots are forest-dependent. The study concludes that the future of parrots relies on policymaking in specific countries.
Parrots, with their bright colors, charisma and intelligence, are an iconic bird group. They are also at risk, globally. Nearly one-third of parrot species are threatened with extinction.
In a new study published in the journal Global Change Biology, scientists from Australian National University and the National University of Córdoba in Argentina analyzed parrots' global conservation status, examined the effectiveness of existing protected areas to safeguard parrot biodiversity, and identified parrot conservation hotspots.

Researchers used range maps, IUCN status, population trends, habitat needs and a measure of forest dependency for all known parrot species to detect four parrot conservation hotspots: the northeastern Andes, southeastern Australia, the eastern Amazon Basin, and the island of New Guinea.
The northeastern Andes and southeastern Australia are highlighted as the two most important hotspots for parrot conservation.
"The current situation of these areas is not reassuring," the paper says. "They had high deforestation rates during the last decades and have a worrying future under problematic conservation policies."
The scientists also used global maps of timber extraction to predict where parrots are at high risk from habitat loss. The northwestern Amazon and western New Guinea, they predict, will "suffer very high rates of timber extraction by 2050."

The study concludes that the current extent of protected areas is not sufficient to protect parrot diversity. On average, protected areas overlap with only 10% of the geographic range of all parrot species. Protected areas play a critical role in conserving biodiversity, but many have been created without assessing species distributions or ecological needs of specific animal or plant groups.
"We further showed the most threatened group of parrots is the least represented in protected areas globally and also locally in each region," said study co-author Javier Nori, a spatial ecologist at the National University of Córdoba. "This is an additional proof of the inefficiency of protected areas in safeguarding global bird diversity."
Of the 398 known species of parrots, 18 are critically endangered, 39 are endangered, and 55 are vulnerable, according to the IUCN Red List.
Threats to parrots vary worldwide. Invasive species have encroached on parrots in the Pacific Islands, where many parrots are endemic. Poaching for the pet trade, habitat loss and logging are ubiquitous global threats.
African grey parrots (Psittacus spp.), famed for their intelligence, have been threatened by their popularity as pets. The international pet trade is decimating populations in the wild. Image by L.Miguel Bugallo Sánchez via Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA 3.0).
"In a previous global evaluation of parrots with scientists from BirdLife International we showed that they are among the most threatened bird orders, with higher extinction risk than other comparable bird groups," study co-author George Olah, from Australian National University, said in a statement.
On the whole, the fate of parrots is largely tied to the fate of forests. More than 70% of parrots are forest-dependent, relying on these ecosystems for food and tree cavities for nesting. Commercial agriculture, pastures, tree plantations and shifting cultivation, all major drivers of forest loss, are on the rise in parrot habitats.
Agriculture is the main threat to parrots, the paper says, and this threat is especially relevant in the Neotropics, the area where parrot species richness is highest.
"We predicted that agricultural expansion will have a further negative effect on the conservation status of parrots, pushing many of their species to the edge of extinction in the near future," Nori said.
"All these results suggest that the future of parrots is subject to policymaking in specific countries," the paper says. "The future of wild living parrots is strongly subject to the future management of highlighted parrot conservation hotspots, especially in southern Australia and the Amazon Basin. In these hotspots, decision-makers should use the flagship image of parrots as a tool for guiding conservation policies."

Doc McStuffins Features Two-Mom Family Voiced by Wanda Sykes & Portia de Rossi
August 7, 2017 By The Next Family
Our family has always loved Doc McStuffins, but who knew we could love it even more? In a new episode titled, "The Emergency Plan," Doc McStuffins features a two-mom, interracial family! Better yet, the actresses playing the two moms are voiced by LGBT actresses, Wanda Sykes, and Portia de Rossi.
Chris Nee, the show's creator and executive producer as well as the writer of the episode, said in a statement released through GLAAD: "I always envision Doc McStuffins as a show about what it means to accept everyone as part of our communities. As part of a two-mom family, I'm proud to have an episode that reflects my son's world, and shows everyone that love is love in McStuffinsville."
GLAAD president and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis also praised the show: "Children like mine deserve the chance to see their families reflected on TV, and this episode does just that in a beautiful and positive way," she said. "Shows like this reflect our real world, and today that includes the many children being raised by gay and lesbian parents who are all going to celebrate this story."
Wanda Sykes chimed in with love for Doc McStuffins in a video posted by GLAAD: "I'm a fan of Doc McStuffins. My kids, they watch the show. With this episode, they see a family that looks like our family."

Other than the Crime Alert it has been a quiet month.
FOFS has been approached by a Company backed by Highveld Radio to stage Concerts in the Park. The facts are: One Concert a month for 1-2000 people on a Sunday from 2-5pm. They would be the picnic blanket type of concert. The concerts would be varied music types. They are looking at the North end of the field below the River Cafe. They would be responsible for all aspects, security, parking monitoring, cleaning etc. An entrance fee will be charged for a set number of people. You will be able to book.
Please let me know what you think of the idea. Email. rose@fofs.co.za Clr. Earp and the PCA and as many people as possible need to know.
We had a Company team building event in the Park which was a big success.
FOFS does it's best to see that the Jungle Gym is kept safe for children, replacing missing planks, and chains as fast as we can. We felt that the whole circuit needed to be checked by a professional as it was costing us a lot doing it bit by bit.
This week – 11th August – we had the whole Jungle Gym inspected and fixed everything that needed doing as it is in the region of 25 years old or more. We have spent R7000 on it and today 6 men gave it a good coat of creosote – 40 litres- which it had not had for years. We have oiled it with a mixture of linseed and turps every year but it needed the real thing. We will now continue the oiling yearly till next time.
Some of the dog walkers have got together to pay for a man to pick up the dog and horse pooh that those inconsiderate others pretend they don't see. Thank you to them for being pro-active. You will see him wandering around with a spade or raking, he has a bib and a large head of hair.
The dirt parking area which was "levelled" by the past caretaker has proven to be the nightmare I told him it would, being all sand but he did it anyway and we are now left with the aftermath. It is now so full of dongas from the rain runoff I am at my wits end. We, FOFS, don't know what to do and it is a job beyond our finances and capabilities. It needs a certain type of filler that wont wash away when the rains come but this is hard to find and we have no vehicle. Something like coarsely broken brick? Any ideas/help with this anyone.???
I have been asking facility maintenance for more big drum dustbins for the lower stable end for two years. Is there a company out there who would donate three if you have access to them. FOFS would paint them if necessary. The neat wire ones that tip cost R1700 each!!!

MPA Architects were asked to develop a new concept for the Danish luxury silverware and jewellery brand. With a wonderful history dating back to 1904 to draw upon, the challenge was to tell the story, and at the same time take the brand forward. The concept - a luxury Scandinavian lifestyle home - offers a contemporary environment with all of the elements of a private home. The palette of materials was chosen to reflect the Danish landscape and the materials utilised in the jewellery and silverware - larch wood slats, ultra wide-planked Douglas Fir floors, shades of grey to echo the varying tones in silver.
The flagship store in Copenhagen's Kastrup airport was completed first, with many following worldwide, including the Pearl, Qatar. We worked with local teams to carry the projects through to completion with the super-fast turnaround demanded by this type of project.


When it's time for a water heater replacement, you have several factors to consider. Luckily, McKinley Heating Service Experts is willing to help. Before you invest in a new water heater, you should decide which system best matches your family's wishes. Fortunately, the team of experts at McKinley Heating Service Experts will be able to speak with you about the options you'll need to contemplate, including which type of fuel is optimal for your water heating needs, how big your water heater tank needs to be, how energy efficient the system is and which systems are within your budget.
Traditional tank water heaters store large amounts of water which is heated and ready to use.
The size of your water heater depends on your hot water usage and on the kind of water heater you purchase. McKinley Heating Service Experts can help resolve that by helping you understand your hot water usage, the flow rate of various devices in your living space and how many of the systems you'll choose to use at the same time.
For tankless water heaters, the progression will be comparable in that a local specialist from McKinley Heating Service Experts can assess your needs, considering your estimated temperature rise based on the temperature of your water when it enters your house. After we've completed the math for you, we'll recommend a few options as tankless water heaters are typically rated on a variety of inlet temperatures.
Depending on your location and other factors, you have a variation of selections for powering your new water heater. It can also vary on where you live, but McKinley Heating Service Experts will provide you with information on the best options for the Edmonton area and your specific needs.
If you're in Edmonton, a tankless water heater is a great option for saving energy. It has between 80% and 92% efficiency. Not only will tankless water heaters save space, but they also work in a completely different way than conventional tank-style water heaters, which heat all of the stored water at once. The issue with that is—if the heated water doesn't get used up—the water cools eventually and needs to be reheated.
Tankless Water Heaters use gas burners or electric coils to heat water only when it's needed, which saves big-time on energy bills. Imagine having a constant supply of hot water. Yes… with a tankless system you can run other appliances…and still get a hot shower! They are compact in size, energy-efficient in design, and low-cost to run.
With ENERGYSTAR®-certified models, and backed by the professional plumbing team at McKinley Heating Service Experts, you can be sure that you won't have to worry about taking a shower with cold water (unless you wanted to).
The tank water heater is designed to heat and store water in the tank, usually 40 or 50 gallons at a time. When the dishwasher, the washing machine, or a soothing hot shower runs, the pre-heated water that's stored in the tank flows swiftly to the point of use. The tank then refills, and the water is reheated. Tankless water heaters heat water on demand and can provide a virtually unlimited supply of hot water. But honestly, there are positives and negatives to both types of hot water heaters, and the decision to buy one or the other should be based on your needs.
We have a wide variety of gas and electric tank water heaters available in multiple sizes, all with great warranties and installation backed by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee*. And don't forget we provide estimates. . We even have financing options that can offer you low monthly payments and no down payment. Call 780-800-7092 to find out more today!


Whether you are a business with multiple sites or have the ambition to expand your company offering to include exportation, this flexible, bespoke mobile tilter is the solution which surpasses traditional loaders. You no longer move your scrap, you move your machine; saving time, money, operators and yard space.
This ground-breaking equipment has been designed for today's businesses dealing in scrap, recycling, demolition, food, agriculture and bulk industries. It is a fast, flexible, safe and cost-effective technique for off-loading containers. The Scorpion's unique automation allows it to invert to a vertical position ensuring ease of loading. Then reverting the container to the horizontal positioning and returning it to the transportation vehicle in 15mins.
We were asked to help 'One Stop Recycling Ltd' with the continuous container loading of their recycling materials using our Scorpion model. 'One Stop Recycling Ltd' owner Steve Bird, based in Birmingham, needed to restructure part of his yard but it was crucial for him to maintain his delivery schedule and customer service during this process. Our innovative equipment enabled him to continue his delivery schedule while reorganising the yard (one of the busiest yards I've visited). In one day, we arrived, loaded x14 containers and x14 trucks left the site to their destination without interrupting Steve's operations.

Geringhoff Acquires U.S. Distribution Partner
August 17, 2015 | Posted in Manufacturer News
The Geringhoff Corp., headquartered in Ahlen, Germany, has acquired its North American distribution partner, Geringhoff Distribution LLC of St Cloud, Minn., previously owned by the Jandrisch family.
Joseph Jandrisch's distribution company Aemsco began marketing and supporting the Geringhoff product in 2004, and since then, the products have grown from obscure European imports to one of the largest shortline brands in North America.
As distribution sales soared past $100 million several years ago, the partners recognized the need to create a separate entity specific to the brand. In a spirit of cooperation between distributor and manufacturer, Jandrisch created Geringhoff Distribution in 2012 and transferred the Geringhoff activities from Aemsco to his new Geringhoff branded distribution company. Simultaneously, a manufacturing facility was created in Minnesota to partially supply the North American market.
With this 2015 transaction, the ownership of Geringhoff's extensive North American based operations are sold from Jandrisch to Geringhoff of Ahlen, Germany. Jandrisch has accepted a position on Geringhoff International's Board of Directors and will lead a search for a new North American CEO.
Jandrisch has previously served on the boards of the Farm Equipment Manufacturers Assn. (as it's first Marketing section representative from 2000-2004) and on EMDA from 2004-2011 as its first president after the merger of FEWA and AIMRA in 2011.
As shortline manufacturers grow the transition from marketing through distributors to manufacturer direct can often be difficult and contentious. In this transition the parties are proud to report a smooth transaction with significant benefit to both partners, their employees, dealers and farming partners.
Additional information is available by contacting the company in Minnesota at 320-252-4633 or in Germany at +49 (0) 23829814-0

I realise that V-day is still more than two weeks away, but if I don't write this now I never will.
If you're the sort of person who goes for the typical dinner for two on Valentine's Day then you shouldn't need my help. Haul yourself along to one of West Hampstead's many dining options and let nature take its course over a bowl of pasta (Spiga), a plate of salmon (The Wet Fish Café), a hearty boeuf bourgignon (Mill Lane Bistro), wild boar sausages (Walnut), or a seafood platter (Hidden Treasure).
If, however, you're a bit "yawn" about V-day, but still like the idea of doing something nice for the one you love – or the one you'd like to love – without having to avert your eyes from salivating couples then here are a couple of ideas. They do require you to pootle over to Hampstead – but nothing's too much trouble right? Right?
First up, on V-day itself, why not whisk your date off to a screening of one of the greatest films of all time? The Hampstead Film Society (yes, there is one, and it's not run by some octogenarian luvvie) is screening Chinatown on its 15′ wide screen. Head over to Hampstead Town Hall (213 Haverstock Hill in Belsize Park). You can take the C11 'cos nothing says "I love you" like a ride on a London bus. It starts at 7pm.
You can become a member of the HFS for £15/10conc. and then it's £4 a screening, or as a one-off it's £7 a film. There's a bar so you can get your date tipsy. Not that you would.
Not into film? Well it's not about you is it? Hmmm? Chinatown is one of my all-time favourites, and if you've not seen it I recommend it wholeheartedly. Luvvie duvvie it ain't.
If you're after something a little less rough around the edges than a classic film noir then I have another suggestion. This is actually on the Sunday before Valentine's – and there's a special offer for West Hampstead Life readers. Oh yes.
At Burgh House in Hampstead, there's a Valentines Champagne Concert on Sunday 12th Feb. Actually there are two: one at 3pm and one at 7pm. "Debonair pianist" and "self-confessed romantic" Warren Mailley-Smith will perform a selection of classics "guaranteed to tug at the heartstrings". The concert will include Chopin, Grieg and Prokoviev, finishing with Gershwin's famous Rhapsody in Blue. And you get a glass of champagne.
As an avid reader of West Hampstead Life, you also get a 10% discount. Come. On.
Click here for the 3pm performance.
Click here for the 7pm performance.
Before settling down to the sociable sounds of Warren, why not start your Sunday off with a chocolate truffle workshop. We all know someone who likes a truffle after all. The workshop will be held at Bake-a-boo on Mill Lane from 10:30am-12:30.
You will, apparently, "create a rich and delicious truffle mix base and then flavour your truffles using natural flavours such as orange, mint and ginger." So far so good.
Then, while your truffle gets hard in the fridge, "you will make a beautiful box from scratch to present your truffles in and decorate this using Alice's collection of rubber stamps and inks." Alice is running the show, in case you wondered.
The whole truffle shindig costs £36 and includes tea and scones. Book online.
