The Eurovision song contest took place in Israel last night.

I have the  fondest  memories of the country and the people, be it Arabic, or Jewish,having spent some months on a kibbutz  there.
But the film "Spy" was also on TV.  It has the immensely likeable Jason Statham.I have never liked pretty pretty boys.My husband used to joke I only like the "monkey" faces,as my favourite actor had always been  Walter Matthau.      Now it is Mr Statham. Even though he is very handsome.
Mr Statham's  self aggrandising  soliloquies in "Spy" are hilarious,  delivered with such  aplomb.He is a fine comedy actor.  The three  men clad in silver foil and some strange concoction on the head, singing  in German and dancing on stage, is the funniest moment  in the whole film and the producers should have made more of it.

"Forget money,marriage and health are key to happiness"

Daily Mail, 16/05/2019.   "...living with another person who has promised to stick by us no matter what
is the foundation of reliable love and,therefore,bound to improve our chances  of a happy life."

"Voting arrangements for blind people are unlawful

because they cannot sign their ballot papers without help,the High Court has ruled."

There are 800 000 Muslims living in Great Britain who cannot read or write in English,many cannot read or write in their mother tongue. Yet they take part in all elections, their   X   is accepted on all ballot papers.

How can their vote be lawful and that of the blind people is  not?

E.P.Thompson,British Social Historian,

said in 1975: "This "Going Into Europe" will not turn out to be the thrilling mutual exchange supposed.It is more like nine middle-aged couples  with failing marriages meeting in a darkened  bedroom in a Brussels hotel  for a group grope."

"Europeans  have lost  their  "collective libido" for each other,Jean-Claude Juncker  has said before  attacking the weakness of British politics in the face of Brexit."        Daily Mail, 04/05/2019.

"We don't love each other.We have lost our collective libido," Mr Juncker said in an interview  with Germany's Handelsblatt  newspaper.

I am  laughing  my sides have almost split!
