On James Bond

I don’t do films, but I was amazed by this stat (and the offer – how big must Prime’s servers be?!?).

If you’d asked me how many James Bond films there have been, I’d have guessed somewhere between 20 and 30.

Not somewhere between 20 or 30 thousand!!!!

That’s an average of over 4,000 films per James Bond actor, of which Roger Moore was by far the best.

Incredible work rate all around, though.

Infamy, infamy!

They’ve all got it in for me. (with apologies to Frankie Howerd)

Well, JZ isn’t going to be happy anyway after my tweet appeared in today’s Mail & Guardian:

The story itself makes pretty horrendous reading, so maybe you shouldn’t.

For those outside the Republic or who have chosen not to follow the Nkandlagate thing (some people can only handle one big news story at a time and it has recently been announced that Justin Bieber is coming to SA), my tweet refers to the fact that JZ’s smart KZN pad stands on land owned by the Ingonyama Trust, the body that administers Zulu tribal land. The trust has confirmed that Zuma holds a formal lease on the portion underneath his compound, but does not hold the title deed; a fact relevant because banks generally refuse to issue loans to finance properties on such land.

I’m well aware that explaining the reasoning behind a joke immediately removes any lasting element of humour from it.

Sorry.
