if Age 2 March 1991 14 EXTRA Keep YouRSUFNICe that cigarette smoking kills more people than heroin, even If the people who take heroin all the time are more likely to steal your stereo. This Is because of economic, rather than health reasons. However, you know your mother will tell you to stop smoking. Among other things, that is what mothers are FOR. It is a Mother Thing.

Speaking only from personal experience, if you tell your mother to "sod off she usually replies with something unprintable. IB I I SMAiiH CRUSH MANGLE 3Ht6b Muriuvrvoiv iTIiir IRAN mn I DcZcNCrF that she is the Linda part of a trio of sisters otherwise known as Wanda and Glenda. As a matter of course, and for more reasons than for nicknames, many people would urge you to get your kids into separate classes as soon as possible. This column is having the distinct feeling that one of its lower limbs is being tugged. OEAR KAZ, Yen probably are not the right person to aik lor help.

I'm rare your mother Mill calli you Katherlne, a lovely traditional name. However, I would be Interested In your thoughts on my problem ol. how to overcome the dreadful Australian penchant for nicknames. If my three children had been born here I would have thought long and hard about their given names. In all Innocence we named the twins Huw and Ewan, which are fairly conventional names from our part of Wales.

My daughter is named Louise. All three are now In the same primary school class (because of the upheaval moving here) and they are often taken for triplets. Huw very rapidly became Huey. Louise is of course, Louie, and now some wag has decided that the only thing to call them Is Huey, Dewey and Louie. Even their teacher has Joined in, and it has stuck.

1 hate it, my children detest It, and everyone else thinks it Is funny. I have a friend called Richard. He is never called Dick. He says It is simply a matter of body language, but I do not seem to have the technique, and three small children have no hope. Can you suggest some effective methods to get them called by their given names? Mum, Yarra Clen.

FOR A start, you can tell the teacher to stay right out of it. Part of the nature of teasing is that the object of teasing is upset by it. Encourage your children not to care so much. They could all choose names for themselves and call each other by those. But you may have to realise that part of the reason for giving a nickname Is affection and acceptance.

Each of the names are not so bad on their own together of cause, we're talking Disney nefariousness. This may sound trite, but it could be a lot worse. My mother has never called me Katherlne, and would be astonished at doing so herself, as it Is not a name I have ever had. However, in the dim, dark, days when I was very small, she did attempt As soon as I was old enough to shovel mashed peas down her front we reached an understanding on the matter. She didn't have much of a moral platform, given Dear Kaz, I'm in love with a girl who sells (exact nature of primary produce deleted) at the Victoria Market.

I don't know her name, or If she's married, and every time I go to ask her out, I say something stupid like, "How's I gave her a little heart-shaped box with a gold chain Inside, for Christmas, with "Merry Christmas" on the back of my business card. I know It was sleazy, and of course she dldnt ring, but I'm getting sick of eating II kilos of (unspecified foodstuff) every week. I'm getting desperate. Is there a nice way of asking her out? All At Sea, Burwood. WHAT DO you mean, GETTING desperate? Good Lord.

If you're not careful you'll turn into a (you know what), eating it all the time. This object of your desire should not have kept your Christmas present That was an error in the etiquette department. I don't even know if she said "thank so I don't know bow she feels towards you. You could say, "Half a kilo of (la la la) thanks. Would you like to come to the movies with me?" She will then say, or or "I don't go to the movies" in which case you could say "How about a row on the rivermudwrestling ringside seatsstrike whichever is least likely to So she'll say no, maybe.

At least you'll know. You're not sleazy, you're just scared. So's everyone. Go to it. If It doesn't work out, find another.

That's how we do things here. Good luck. Send your queries to Keep Yourself Nice, 'The Age', 250 Spencer Street, Melbourne, 3000. Letters may be edited. Dear Kax, How do I tell my mother to sod oft? Dont get me wrong, this Is not to be utilised for the usual "eat your peas" tiff, but more, rather when IMPORTANT ISSUES are being discussed.

I understand that my mother endured all kinds of primordial pain for me, and as such should be afforded some form of forgiveness, but Important Issues are Important Issues. She point-blank refuses to listen to any concerns about dishwashers. In fact, she even tried to persuade me that the reverse Is true. Also, cigarettes. Although not one of my more sound and endearing habits, mum currently wonders If I have any.

It Is my right, not as bad as heroin, etc etc. So, when all good reason has been flung out the window, or under the much-lumpy carpet, what then? End Of My Argumentative Tether, Ballarat I virility PoTervcy .7 fct' aPyrS 60NQUST( P0lVR, I OOLD I 4 i i S) ii 3 THE BEST way to settle arguments Is to bring in a third party.

blahs, mmvoH teCrPlTAT(OH 'FAVM'fSf, r4ME IMMORTALTY A they keep revising the plot for you In case you dozed off or left the room to make a cup of tea, micturate or throw up. Lynch Is prepared to allow us to be bamboozled while we take pleasure in the revelation of secrets. It Is a great moment of secrecy unveiled when Harry S. Truman, at the end of a hard day at the morgue (. Intercourse with at least three men on the day of her death .) goes to bed with a pretty Asian widow who owns the Umber mill.

"Twin Peaks' confirms all one's prejudices (and a film-maker cannot be fairer than that) about country life. 'Bellblrd', 'A Country Practice' and Inaccurate, sentimental memories of Lawson have led us to think of country towns as innocent, open-hearted and decent In fact they contain festering heaps of fornicators and con men, just like the big cities only more concentrated. When you look at 'Twin Peaks' It is as if 'A Country Practice had been re-written with Dr Terence as a junkie pederast Dr Kouros with the assistance of matron as a serial poisoner and Cookie and Bob as a venomous pair of old queens. This is my kind of show. I grew up in a country town and it was just like 'Twin Peaks with a Welsh accent People keep calling Twin Peaks' surrealist but I don't see It True, the narrative line, unlike that of most soaps, Is not written for backward seven-year-olds.

Certainly there are odd appearances like the dwarf, but I'm prepared to regard this sort of thing private fantasies anyone is apt to have after living in a country town. There are wonderfully outrageous characters, the sort you used to meet In Lygon Street before Country Road and SoortsRirl got there. The log lady is a model of obsessive behavior as Is the eye-patch woman seeking to perfect a completely silent curtain track. Lucy on the switch makes you think of J'idy Holliday. The weeping cop is enjoying his tears because there's no busybody counsellor trying to get him out of the habit Best of all are Special Agent Dale Cooper, the anal-retentive pie eater, and the sadistic truckle Leo, with a foot fetish about his boots and a tendency to batter his wife who is having It off with Bobby who twitches in early Actors' Studio Brando-style.

HAT fine screen writer Alan Plater ('Beiderbecke Tapes') refused to take part in a television discussion on 'Twin Peaks' (Channel 10, Tuesdays 9.30). He was not prepared, he said, to listen to critics carrying on about David Lynch's post-modernist deconstruction of the soap-opera genre. Neither am 1. It is simply a ripper of a soap opera. What a beginning, right from tne titles snowing tne ova, me mill, the screaming machine strarpen-ing the saw blades, the landscape (cold and threatening), the waterfall (hi there, you Freudians).

The music grinds out big, slow, sinister chords, the water flows. This Is the country, An Asian woman makes up, an ageing man picks up fishing gear. We hear a total of six words "going fishing" and "the lonesome foghorn Then he finds the body and we are Into the heart of the story. "Twin Peaks' looks thoroughly cinematic, an expensive production. There are none of the.

generic ping-pong scenes in which two people deliver radio-serial dialogue while the cameras monotonously switch medium close-ups back and forth. That's not quite true. Lynch occasionally goes into parody mode and sends up this sort of stock soap technique. His sense of parody is Irresistible, sly, comic. When the cops pull back the plastic that envelopes Laura Palmer she seems to be dressed like a bride sleeping with the white veil surrounding a lovely face blue-ilpped from the water.

His use of the dangling telephone Is In the high tradition. It Is wonderful hokum. Normal soap Is all plot; vents have to move fast so that you don't have time to see the holes in the plot The participants are given just enough character to get them plausibly through that ploL Next week a new plot and new minimal character traits to match. In "Twin Peaks' Laura's death is the whole plot Everything else clusters around this fact and teases the viewer who is rash enough to try to puzzle It all out Don't bother. Just agree with the character In the second episode who says: "I have no Idea what is going on." Lynch Is good at this sort of confusion.

In his incomprehensible movie 'Dune' (on my list of the 10 most boring movies, just trailing 'Madonna of the Seven Moons') he starts with a girl saying in a significant voice: "Beginning Is a very delicate time." Other film mannerisms of his continue In down-market television form, like his trick of using famous names. The sheriff Is Harry S. Truman, just as one of the 'Dune' characters Is called Atreldes. What makes Twin Peaks' so enjoyable is the sense that you don't have to worry about the plot.
