This book is brilliant - stop reading this drivel and go buy it now!

If someone presented this tale to you and told you they had just made it up, it was a figment of their imagination then you would read it and enjoy it but at the back of your mind you would probably think that at times it had gone a bit too far, it was a bit too far-fetched from reality. Some of the stuff which happens would never happen in real-life would it?

Wanted: new stuntmen for Bond movie - must have own insurance

Is the production of the new Bond film, Quantum of Solace, jinxed?

In the last week, there have been reports of three accidents in the lead up to and during filming in Italy.  The first crash involved Bond’s Aston Martin DBS which ended up in Lake Garda after an engineer lost control while delivering the car to a media event.  I bet he felt a right muppet!

On hearing his story though, he is probably just glad to be alive.  After plunging into the water, he had to free himself from the car and head to the surface - a scene which wouldn’t be out of place in the Bond movie itself.
