Did you spot Lewis Hamilton in Stevenage last night?

Newly crowned world champion Lewis Hamilton was spotted last night with his Girlfriend ( Pussycat Dolls ) in Stevenage’s local Cinema taking in the latest offering from 007.

Apparently Lewis took his famous Girlfriend, around a few of his old haunts, including - believe it or not his Dentist, whom he still visits in Stevenage.

Quantum of Solace opened up last weekend in the U.K. (31 October, 2008) to mixed reviews. Certainly from the reviews that I have read - the film is given an average 3 out of 5. The 22nd Bond movie, is the sequel to the 2006 film Casino Royale and sees Bond ( Daniel Craig ) battling Dominic Greene a member of the Quantum organisation posing as an environmentalist, who intends to stage a coup d’état in Bolivia to take control of its water supply.

007 sets out seeking revenge for the death of Vesper Lynd and is assisted by Camille Montes.

The film opens up in the U.S on the 14th November and in AUS on the 19th.

The next instalment of 007 is due to hit our screens in 2010

007 celebrates St George’s Day

Well we don’t know for sure if this is the case as 007 is no doubt abroad on a mission.

However as this is the 23th April and St George’s day, the Patron Saint of England - I am sure that 007 is having a Martini or two to celebrate this special day along with the rest of the English nation !!!

Amy Winehouse gives 007 the cold shoulder

It does not happen often when you are 007 - but recently according to reports, the very talented but troubled British singer Amy Winehouse was invited to the 007 James Bond set to get inspiration for the Bond theme that she is currently writing - unfortunately, but not unexpectedly she never showed. A source close to Amy is quoted as saying that “It’s not easy getting Amy anywhere on time at the moment.”

Shaken but not stirred !

Onlookers were possibly thinking they were watching a scene being filmed for the new James Bond movie - but how wrong they really were. Whilst on its way to the set in Italy, the driver of one the 5 DBS Aston Martins being driven to the set a Mr Fraser Dunn 29, of Leamington Spa, Warks, England crashed the luxury £134,000 Aston Martin DBS into Lake Garda, fortunately Mr Dunn only suffered minor injuries despite the roof being completely crushed. Mr Dunn was on his way to the set of the very latest and 21st Bond movie the “Quantum Of Solace ” which has just begun shooting.

Where did the inspiration for the ” James Bond ” name originate ?

Maybe a number of 007 fans will be surprised just how Ian Fleming’s famous fictional Agent 007 of Her Majesty’s Secret Service came into being.

It all came about whilst Fleming - a keen bird watcher - was living in his adopted home of Jamaica.
In his book collection he owned one in particular ” Birds of the West Indies ” written by a certain ” James Bond ” It did not take him long to realise that he had found the perfect name for his character, which he later explained was “brief, unromantic, Anglo-Saxon, and yet very masculine – just what I needed ” and the rest is history as they say.
