Bond James Bond James Bond James Bond


I think I have discovered the secret to a perpetual motion mechanism. Set your email up to reply with an 'out of office' response and then send an email to yourself. Remember to turn the 'one-off response only' option off.

I-Rock, is there some kind of application for this in the making-me-lots-of-money industry?

Well it made me smile anyway.

I have been blue arsing flying around today getting organised for a week in Mexico, sorry Victoria. Three days at RMIT then 4 days in the rugged Gippsland region finding out how to tie people's limbs back on with a paperclip and some tree sap. All going to plan I should have my Wilderness First Aid certificate next time we meet.

Saw the new Bond movie on Saturday. It's different to the old Bond movies. Apparently this is bad. I think the more bad/badder thing is that it is so clearly a ripoff of The Bourne Identity/Supremacy.

If you've not seen it, I'll try to be subtle - or skip to the end. But consider the following:

Bourne: Graphic but heavily choreographed hand-to-hand combat predominates, filmed with handheld camera at close range.
Bond: Check

Bourne: Protagonist given first trial mission which proves testing.
Bond: Check.

Bourne: Important female character buys the farm unexpectedly, protagonist becomes heartless bastard.
Bond: Check.

Bourne: Protagonist has overseers/bosses who criticise him and have little faith in his abilities.
Bond: Check.

Bourne: Starts with a 'B'
Bond: Starts with a 'B'.


Case closed, your honour. I think the last point is particularly compelling.

I watched the movie from the 'La Premiere' section of the movies and for those who've never done it - Nike Slogan!

All you can eat popcorn and drinks, special private lobby, massive seating away from the plebs - it's great!


Anyway, thought the mariney/diver types among you might be interested to know that I found a sea turtle carcass down at Jervis Bay the other weekend - it was HUGE - like 6 foot long! Is this normal for those parts?


I think Bond may have been involved.
