BROWSERS OF confectionery stores might have noticed a new chocolate bar rejoicing in the name Time Out. which is also the title of a sort of London version of The List. This has naturally made us mighty envious and we are keenly anticipating the advent ofa List bar forthwith. The Time Out version is sadly derivative. being a sort of hybrid ofa Flake and Drifter.

TWIN PEAKS CONTINUES to exert a fascination. The Prince Charles Cinema in London will be screening the whole damn thing in wide-screen 24-hour format from 29 February—1 March. with addicts being sustained with regular doses of cherry pie and coffee. But with statistics showing that the series had a bigger following proportionally in Scotland. why has no Scottish cinema offered the same chance to follow Coop‘s capers from start to finish in one sitting? Peakies are encouraged to lobby their local arthouses with cryptic Jean Renault-style messages.
JUVENILE CORNER With Celtic boss Liam Brady keen to sign West Ham defender Julian Dicks. sports page headlines have taken on a distinctly Finbarr Saundersesque tone oflate. ‘Dicks to join Celtic‘, ‘Dicks deal imminent‘ and ‘Brady seeks Dicks to stiffen defence‘ have been some ofthe better examples.
