1. Sebastian Faulks writes a mean Bond novel. He did very well at:
- Picking up the character in a 60's setting from Ian Fleming.
- Allowing there to be influence from the journey the films (including the difficult to ignore Casino Royale reboot) have taken the character on since then.
- Working in some contemporary issues.
2. When your brother gets a job in New York the potential for holidaying out there makes for small comfort to the amount you'll miss him.
3. There comes a point where some people have it so tough that love, prayer, empathy and good wishes is all you're left with, but they all look somewhat aneamic.
4. I will be at every Glastonbury festival between now and my death.
5. Conducting marriage ceremonies and dedications for people who aren't part of the Church is bloody brilliant!
6. When you turn a certain age, people only seem able to talk to you about events that are still a year away!
7. Tottenham Hotspur are jinxed.
8. China sure can host an Olympic games. GB sure can get excited about hosting an Olypic Games. The podium 'black salute' of '68 was sadly not to be repeated with a 2008 twist. Shame, the simple wearing of orange would have been quite the statement.
9. Contact lenses are a bit... meh.
10. Bikes might just be God's way - good for you, good for the planet, good for Gold medals, good for a nice jaunt down a tow path to a pub.
