007

According to 'Quantum of Solace' co-producer Michael G. Wilson, the actor - who reprises his role as the British spy for a second time in the new movie - has eclipsed all of his predecessors, including Sir Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan, with his portrayal of 007. Wilson told British radio station Heart FM: 'He is the greatest Bond right now and the people love him.' Wilson also confirmed Craig will definitely be returning to do another Bond Movie in 2009.

NOT A FAN

I have never been a football fan and so I have never been able to identify with those who scream and let out gasps of shock and murderous anger when a goal is missed.The free viewers get enranged and deranged with poor passes.The most despicable yelling is,of course when the ball gets in and crowd yells madly in unison-'GOOAAALLLL!!!!!'I have at least heard of one report of a TV viewer who wetted his pants when his team managed to get the ball in during the final seconds. A humbling secret on my part- I don't even know how many guys play in each team.

One thing is for sure,though-I am certainly glad that I am not the only one who dosen't give two hoots for the game. Vijay- The Midnight Owl.
