Strange, strange, strange! The world is changing and everything could happen!
Always see someone in the western world to be crowned with the degree in law or politics, but in Australia, this time, the new Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, has his first degree in Chinese language and history. Nowhere could you find his ambition to put his feet on the top post of this country from what he learned at his young time, because the subject is simply so far from law, politics, or even the western literature.

The Queen's diamond wedding
BBC reported:
A suitably regal anniversary
“ It was a very British kind of celebration.
As the drizzle came down on the grey London pavement, Westminster Abbey witnessed a distinctly restrained display of pageantry.
This was, after all, the diamond wedding anniversary of the head of state and her consort.
Elsewhere, such an event would probably be marked with fireworks, triumphal music and military parades.
Here, the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh opened a new public walkway and unveiled a plaque.
There were no street parties, no state banquet. The night before, Prince Charles hosted a black tie dinner for his parents and 20 close friends. And after the church service, that was it. ......”
Comments: This is the celebration for the Queen's 60 years marriage. It sounds that the celebration was not that grandy as it should be to match the glamour of the so called diamond wedding. However, it is suitable at “A time of rationing, bomb-scarred cities, and making the best of one's circumstances”. And most important, after all, it is “very British kind of celebration”, in other words, the form is not the most important.

Laughter ------ scarce commodity, but not here
If you want to watch an old Hollywood movie,
If you want to see Marilyn Monroe,
If you want to laugh,
...... (too many reasons to be listed)
Definitely recommend: Some like it hot
I have rarely laughed as much as when I watched this movie.
