Here we have a song with a modal verb in its title. I had the possibility to add to the blog another different video but I prefered this one because the sights of London: Saint Paul Cathedral...
I don't know who the winner is going to be. Obviously, I prefer if Spain wins the competition but unfortunately I don't think it'll hapen. So, my 5 personal points are for Blue.
Here in Spain there is a well-known man who has presentated Eurovision since I was a child, so we can say that he knows all the tricks of the trade. I love watching Eurovision and checking how the points that Jose Luis Uribarri preticts to be given by a country, are given as he firstly said. Even in the same order...
This evening some people will watch eurovision 2011. I think we will rent a film. Although that I have to recognize that this year's title is quite beautiful: Feel your heat beat!

KING'S RAMSOM

Wonderful book written by Ed McBain that shows what hapens when some kidnappers take the wrong boy. Crime and mystery mixed in a properly way. But the problem got bigger when King decided not to pay the ransom.
I have learnt the always wanted to say sentence: Look him up!
By the way, in the text sometimes appear "puzzled". "He look at him puzzled", "He stared at him puzzled". It is when you are more than surprised. More than astonished. You are nearly confused.

GULLIVER'S TRAVELS

Before watching the film I have read the book. How interesting it is!
I didn't know that Gulliver has travelled so far. I liked the fact that Jonathan Swift included some maps about his travels around the world.
There are strange worlds in the book too. But the hole idea I have is that the author could be a person who wrote against the politicians or against the way that things were made in her time.
The last film about this book is funnier than the old one.

THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES

I liked that book. Crime, mystery and Sherlock Holmes trying to spot the murderer.
Under book's nasty cover, a big Arthur Conan Doyle's book.
As the idiom says, you can't judge a book by its cover.
By the ay, the murderer was...

THE CANTERBURY TALES

How different was the life in the Middle Ages!

If you had done some bad things you can paid for your pardon. Guess who. To a pardoner, of course. That sort of men take your money and they forgive your sins.

You could meet a Franklin. They were rich farmers with big houses, I think that they were like terratenientes.

You could spot the difference between a friar an a priest.

The book tells us a compilation of stories. To summarize, a person has a restaurant and some people go to have meals. The owner prefers to invite them with only one condition. They have to told him a story, the best story-teller will not pay the meal.

What a strange book!

DR JEKYLL AND MR HYDE

Sometimes, we have to decide what about we know. All of us know about the extrange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, all of us know that when Dr Jekyll discovered the drug to become in Mr Hyde he opened a door to the hell, but I have enjoyed reading the book. It is completely told by Dr Jekyll's friend. It's amazing although it describes how Mr Hyde hit a poor child or how he hit an inocent old man.
