Oh and the AA show is 87% better than the APF 20% of the times I've been.

That would be Arborists anonymous. Theres plenty of shifty anonymous types on here. It would have been an apathetic nihilist gang, but its got too organized and complex now, so I've quit. Ive formed a splinter faction of dyslexic arbstrits.

Ace! I wonder about standing up.

The Hitch is Key.

I'm going to all the shows this year. I'm going to get drunk and make a fool of myself and get ejected. Anyone want to join my gang?

Poor chap. Hope for a swift recovery. Hollands, I've broken lots of bones including both ankles. Its a quick in and out job and 6 weeks of plaster. I see you have mentioned a week in hospital, an operation and morphine. What are the details of the damage as this sounds more serious than just broken ankles. It's always concerned me, this throw bag ascent of trees, it's always going to be a bigger guess as to the integrity of any wood isn't it? Once again hope our man gets a smile back soon.

It's all very well citing the books as a reference point for these last two films; but there films were had a camp appeal to them that the books didn't deal with. Sailing and Knitting. The remake of are you being served would involve the downsizing of Grace brothers and and international imports from china; all very serious and retail wise quite gritty, but not in any way the same thing. I think the relationship between the Niven/Connery/Lazenby/Moore/Dalton and Brosnan films, and the Ian Flemming novels, i.e. the distance between them artistically and style wise, is the same distance that is present between those films and the last two Craig movies. You'd expect that to be true between a book and a film, but between any two films in a successful franchise like bond, is odd. I feel let down by both these last films. The Bourne films kicks the Farm yard manure out of them both. But they aren't without virtue, the Parkour opening of Casino Royal was great, and ... actually that's all I can think of, or indeed remember. And that's my point both films are essentially forgettable. I can remember every nuance of Live and let die (my fave) because it is a classical work of folk genius.

It's only a bond movie by name. But a slight improvement on Casino royal, which was a card game. Both use the name James bond but ignore the reference points of the franchise. The franchise was split in two by Austin powers and the Bourne films, the combination of which would be a good bond movie. Here's my Bond checklist: Theme tune Car chase Aston martin Gadgets Bond girls Q baddies base exploding henchmen in uniforms world wide locations bond gets captured More car chases sex based double meanings Miss money penny. the names Bond, James Bond shaken not stirred 3/10 must try harder.
