Hi all

First up, for the kiddies, is the animated film, Dogs at the Opera, which  
has not had much exposure overseas because it was made in Russia. 
 
The big release this week is spy caper, Argylle, which is also in IMAX. 
 
Lastly, the WW II drama The Zone of Interest is on at selected art venues. 
It has multiple awards and nominations, including for the top Oscars, and

Enjoy. :-)

A waiter is working in a restaurant when he sees a man sliding down his  
chair and under his table. The woman sitting at the table with the man does  
not appear to be concerned. 
 
The waiter, who is worried for the man, walks up to the woman and says,  
"I think your husband just slid under the table." 
 
"No, he didn't," replies the woman. "He just walked in through the door."

An efficiency expert concluded his lecture with a note of caution.  
"You don't want to try these techniques at home." 
 
"Why not?" asked somebody from the audience.  
 
"I watched my wife's routine at breakfast for years," the expert explained.  
 
"She made lots of trips between the refrigerator, stove, table and cabinets,  
often carrying a single item at a time.  
 
One day I told her, 'Hon, why don't you try carrying several things at once?'"  
 
"Did it save time?" the person in the audience asked.  
 
"Actually, yes," replied the expert. "It used to take her 20 minutes to  
make breakfast. Now I do it in seven."

I caught the flu in Madrid on a recent business trip. 
 
Whilst sniffling and coughing and rolling around in the hotel bed, I  
realised I needed medical attention, so I called the concierge to get help. 
 
"Oh, so you're sick!" came the reply. "Not a problem, we'll send our very  
own hotel doctor up to your room right away!" 
 
The doctor strolled into the room within seconds, and whilst I stuttered  
and tried to comprehend the situation, he gave me some medicine to ease the  
symptoms.  
 
When I finally stammered out "h...how does the hotel have their own doctor  
on call? I’m amazed you got here so quickly...", he simply shook his head  
and cracked a smile, and replied: 
 
"Nobody expects the Spanish inn physician."

easier than using your phone."
