Against general predictions the booze cruise is not now defunct… Oh well! An occasional trip to the north of France is hardly that greater trial I suppose. I bet you couldn’t get proper French cheese or carrot rapee on the net!
Chicken and I went to see Casino Royale last night. It wasn’t your usual Brosnan Bond, that’s for sure. I thought Daniel Craig made a better Bond than Pierce (who I’ve always thought looks intensly American, despite being Irish) less greasy, more murderous. He was excellent on the action scenes and the bits with “M”, but with the one-dimensional and weakly acted love interest and the poker game he was less skillful. In general the action scenes were amazing and more “real” (if such a thing can ever be said seriously about James Bond) than the high tech crap of recent offerings, but what wasn’t action seemed very drawn out and boring, especially those involving Bond and the aforementioned love interest, Vesper. Anyway, all in all a good watch but nothing that breaks the mold.
It is the first night of late night shopping in Barnstaple tonight, so I will be working until 21:00, not my most extreme shift, however, as during the previous (2002) world cup I once worked from 7:00 when Ireland kicked off their tournament.
Training went well again yesterday, one last session on Saturday and then we’re on to on-going training, we are all nervous and excited! However, it will be after Christmas that we are ‘out in the field’ as it were. Only a month and two days until Christmas day, but at the moment that feels like ages away…
