Shoestrings

James Bond was popular here last year (Chicken Licken), mainly in connection with the London Olympic drop-in by HM Queen, and his relationship with Glencoe - Jimmy Savile, the massacre, William of Orange etc.

Jimmy, stoking the Man-devil ?

Today's BBC carries a report, James Bond's gadgets "copied by CIA" :

The real-life intelligence agents of the CIA tried to copy the gadgets used in James Bond movies, research from the University of Warwick suggests.

Prof Christopher Moran, an expert in US national security, has been studying the friendship between the director of the CIA and Bond author Ian Fleming.

He says CIA boss Allen Dulles was fascinated with the fictional spy.
Prof Moran says he has found a "surprising two-way influence between the CIA and the James Bond novels"....

Meanwhile, also from the BBC today we read that the body of actor, Paul Bhattacharjee, who played a role in Casino Royale, has been found. He was last seen leaving the Royal Court Theatre in London, in "good spirits" on 10th July. His body was found on 12th July - King Billy's (William of Orange) day, but not reported until now.

Bhattacharjee in orange Guantanamo "suit". He also played a part in spy series Spooks.

Meanwhile, Jimmy Savile rears his ugly head again, apparently Wizard of Oz resonator, Margaret Thatcher (Ding Dong the Witch is Dead), lobbied for years aginst powerful "mandarins" to get him a knighthood. (BBC)
