Walk the Walk Brian not Talk the Talk

Just had a quick look at the Bristol City site.

Tinman says "I have spoken to him [Bradley Orr] and to Steve, who is now on four bookings and has to be very careful. We cannot afford to lose players to unnecessary suspensions."

And then later on in the report it says 'Apart from Phillips, Brian Tinnion, Tony Dinning, Jamie Smith and Tommy Doherty are one booking away from a suspension."

Sorry, who's that first in the list. Has Tinman never heard of the pot calling the kettle black?

This rant was brought to you by the loosing in faith in Tinman every day association.

Bond 21

And so it's been announced that Martin Campbell is to direct Casino Royale, the 21st Jame Bond movie. Pretty happy with that, but I just hope he pulls something out of his directing hat. Sometimes his direction leaves me a little cold and GoldenEye hasn't aged well. But it did, however relaunch the franchise so that can't be a bad thing.

Let just hope the MI6 family are returning. Samatha Bond has already said she won't return as Moneypenny but I'd like Dench and Cleese to reprise their roles.

Here's hoping we'll hear who's stepping into Brosnan's shoes soon...
