Me and my wife Natasa went to see the new bond movie quantum of solace on it’s release date this friday just gone (for me it was mostly to avoid having to deal with all the fucking trick or treat armys of council benefit scroungers in the area).

I pre-booked the tickets on the Vue website, and we popped off to the pub beforehand just after work as my wife works for a cool company that has company drinks every month where everyone gets to socialise and enjoy time outside of work together, you know, one of those companies that gives a fuck about it’s employees, before you ask no she does not work for Google.

Anyway back to the movie, although I booked tickets in advance the seating for movies in the UK is not on a booked seat basis its just find what you can when you get in there. So having arrived 10 mins before the start time (including all the shitty adverts that you pay to see…) we find ourselves in the main screen in row two, so pretty much litterally in screen 1.

There is so much hype here about this film and I didnt see what the hell it’s all about the film had the most sudden ending ever and I felt like it had at least another half an hour to run, there looked to be some good action scenes in it but when you are in row two everything it just a blur when it comes to fast action scenes… we got home and I was releved to see that Haloween had come and gone only to see a programme about QoS on the TV… I felt englightened to what I had missed… looked like the action scenes were indeed very good. But what happened to the end of the movie?…

After 18 months of being tied to a Sony Ericsson K800i on Orange, I am finally free to choose a new mobile again. So after much shopping around for an N95 8GB which I have wanted for months now given it has WLAN , a nice Carl Zeiss 5MP camera, and GPS, I at the last minute decided to go for something completely different and I am oh so happy with the decision to buy a Nokia E71. It arrived on Tuesday and I have found it almost impossible to put down ever since.

After reading so many positive reviews where the only thing people seem to complain about is that the camera isn’t the best thing since sliced bread, it seems well on route to being the best smart phone of 2008 if not phone in general. The GPS is brilliant it locks on here in west London in a matter of seconds, the camera is OK but then on a device 1cm thick what do you expect??. WLAN browsing is super easy to set up and setting up to connect to my home network took a couple of minutes including adding the MAC address to my list of allowed devices on the router.

It feels like quality, mostly metal construction with firm keys that even my large fingers can speed around accurately. The screen is not too small, and is super crisp and clear.

For the deals side of things, there are a few around but the best value I found was on three where for just £20/month for 18 months on mix and match 300, you get 300 minutes/SMS per month to any network and 50 mins video calls which I thought was to any network but seems is only to same network users.

The real selling points about choosing three for me were that somehow you get to connect to skype and MSN messenger for free all day long without any data charges, and £20/month was the cheapest rate for the phone, the next cheapest networks were asking for £30/month. I just can’t see the point of spending £30+/month for a phone, global credit crunch etc.

With three you can get a coupon code allocated to you if you chat to one of their agents online during the online shopping cart process. I worked out this is just an identifier for the agent who offers you the special deal, you get the actual code sent out with the phone, if you chat to another agent they will give you a different “code” and say the first one does not work, they are just trying to screw each other out of a commission so don’t worry about it, must be a cut-throat selling place where they work in India. You can at least get a free voucher for £20 of accessories from threeaccessories.co.uk which gets sent out to you within 24 hours of you ordering, very simple and nice freebie.

Because I want to use my own headphones which are the bomb rather than the Nokia ones I just got a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter from ebay for the tiny sum of 15p which some lovely Chinese fellow will be sending be from the other side of the planet, amazes me how cheap things are when bought like this.

If you are thinking to get a phone that does pretty much everything, I would definately recommend the E71. If you are already thinking about getting an E71 then what are you waiting for?, go buy it now!. If you are in the UK the best deal really does seem to be with three, I was on three a couple of years ago and I really must say that their customer services has improved massively I find them very professional and pleasant to deal with this week.

I saw the movie Frantic quite a while ago, but heard a track on strictly come dancing now I thought was this track from Frantic, really great movie (although this youtube clip seems to be italian dubbed), great club scene, georgious star in the movie and well just see the whole movie for yourself and enjoy. For those too young to remember, the track is by Grace Jones who is a bit of a wild cat, but there’s nothing wrong with having spirit when you have talent.

Now I am British, so I don’t get to vote for either of them, but I really hope to god that any American who asks themselves which of the two candidates to vote for DO NOT VOTE FOR McCAIN. Seriously, even if Obama isn’t quite as golden as he seems at first glance, McCain is obviously a bad choice to make.

Give this clip a few minutes of your time and remember it when you make your choice, remember that, it is your choice (assuming the results don’t get rigged again).
