Hi all Winter, exams, floods, fire, electoral upsets... quite a week, that was. On the positive side I hope the drought down here is now officially broken and we get the wet winters of my childhood... Anyway, on to the movies, where it's always dry and warm... this week sees Tom Cruise try to reboot another franchise, but failed to impress the critics. We'll have to see how he does against Wonder Woman, which last week surprised expectations and set some new records, particularly in the USA. The other releases are a bit smaller than The Mummy and aimed more at niche markets. We've got Keanu Reeves in a courtroom drama, a family custody drama, a female-friendly "Groundhog Day" style mystery, with the arthouse and Bollywood releases rounding out the lineup. The last film in the current opera season, Der Rosenkavalier, is on at the Nouveaus, as well as the Encounters film festival. Enjoy. Note that this is a short week due to the holiday next Friday, some movies are opening next Thursday and some next Friday.

Gordon's pizza? No sir, it's Google's pizza. So, this is a wrong number? No sir, Google bought it. OK. Take my order please. Well sir, you want the usual? The usual? You know me? According to our caller ID, the last twelve times, you ordered pizza with three cheeses, sausage and a thick crust. OK ! That's it. May I suggest to you this time ricotta and arugula with dried tomato? What? I hate vegetables. Your cholesterol level is not good. How do you know that? Through the health scheme subscribers' guide. We have the results of your blood tests for the last seven years. OK, but I do not want that new pizza - I am already taking a cholesterol lowering medicine. But you have not been taking that medicine regularly. You only purchased one box of 30 tablets four months ago at Drugsale Network. I bought some more from another chemist. That's not showing on your credit cards. I paid for them in cash But you did not withdraw that much cash, according to your bank statements. I have other sources of cash. That is not showing as per you last Tax return, unless you bought them from an undeclared income source WHAT THE HELL? That's enough ! I'm sick and tired of Google, Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp. I'm going to live on an island somewhere without the Internet, where there are no cell phones and there's no one to spy on me any more ! I can understand that, sir - but in that case, you'll need to renew your passport. It expired five weeks ago ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was Judi's first plane trip.

They dialled the number and then sang "Happy Birthday" to him. But when they finished their off-key rendition, they discovered that they had dialled the wrong number.

The husband seemed preoccupied and his wife told him so. He replied, "I'm sorry darling, I have to make a confession about something. Could you possibly love a man who cheated his business partner out of 3 million dollars?" "Possibly," said the wife, "provided the man doesn't suffer a conscience attack and pay the money back. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two boys were arguing when the teacher entered the room. The teacher said, "Why are you arguing"? One boy answers, "We found a ten dollar bill and decided to give it to whoever tells the biggest lie." "You should be ashamed of yourselves," said the teacher. "When I was your age, I didn't even know what a lie was." The boys gave the ten dollars to the teacher. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A lady on a commuter train was reading a newspaper article about life and death statistics.
