The Best and the Rest a Rundown
Time for another Goldeneye hit parade of what’s hot and what’s not.
In no particular order but each number is conversely related to the other
Heating Up
-
1: Saturday Nights
2: Sobriety - a new leaf !
3: Jon Bon Jovi - Blaze of Glory
4: Fish for Sunday lunch
5: Dressing gowns - be comfy and informal
6: Cups of tea
7: Casino Royale - the movie - top banana
8: Central heating - crank it up baby !
Cooling Down
-
1: Sunday Afternoons
2: Wanton drinking
3: Anything by Westlife
4: Red meat on a Sunday
5: Clothes - too conventional
6: Glasses of claret
7: Casino Royale - the book - poorly written!
8: Cold, wet and rainy outside - dull !
That’s just a few things that came to my mind, if anyone has any others or comments post them below.
Regards
Rod

Rod,
Further to the story about Motorhead sponsoring an under eleven’s football team and providing great logo football shirts it seems that the jobsworths at the FA will ban them because the colour of the shirts would clash with the referee’s! How can they confuse a grown male referee with a ten year old?
Here’s my list:
Motorhead-Up
FA-Up Yours!

Little bit worried on your highs and lows list

All this makes me wonder if you are strutting around ‘La Casa Goldeneye’ in your birthday suit, sober as a judge, ranting about DC and Casino Royale and the weather.

We’re getting the same picture as Jordan …. while causing concern in the ranks, it no doubt is a thrill for the postman.
We don’t see any reduction in smoking on the list but the moderated claret intake we applaud. Keep your hands busy with other pursuits and then perhaps your mind won’t dwell on cigarettes ….. take up sketching instead!
The Witch list:
up:
Christmas baubles - our lust for them never seems to dwindle, roll on December.
down:
All other Bonds - we only have eyes for DC

bloody typical, they haven’t even the wit to make the most of all the free publicity they are getting.
The FA are FA use for anything - to use a popular acronym!

Jordan,
you paint a vivid, and yet strangely insightful, picture of life here at La Casa Goldeneye.
As I am king of all I survey I do feel comfortable, nay entitled, to wander around here naked, though I do tend to rant about hot chicks rather than our old friend DC.
The heating needs cranking up just in case anyone sees me! Being officially the most Eligible Bachelor on Wybers Wood means I have to look my best, and should it be chilly I should not want to be seen having a DC blue shorts moment as it shall now be known in honour of your comment.
Lest you think I am losing it, I still wear clothes to go out in and I also have an Ann Summers french maid’s outfit which I wear to do the hoovering and cleaning
Discard your clothes and liberate your mind (that sounds like a famous quote but I just made it up)

WoE
thankfully we don’t have a postman we have a postgirlie and she is known by the nom de guerre Hot Legs
There is a reduction in smoking which correlates directly with the sensible drinking policy.
Also, I rapidly became aware that smoking and naturism were not happy bedfellows!
Thank you for the festive decoration mention, I may follow suit this year and deck the halls of the Goldeneye Naturist Retreat.
On va voir (spelling? - now checked with wiser counsel)

Re: Goldeneye Naturist Retreat.
This does sound more inviting than the ‘Goldeneye Retirement home’
Although when joining in with the festivities theme watch out for the prickles on the holly!!
Maybe a couple of Christmas time photos are called for, entitled:
‘The Goldeneye Naturist Retreat at Christmas’.
‘Goldeneye Naturist Retreats Company Director at Christmas’.
WoE - Christmas baubles - our lust for them never seems to dwindle - There can never be enough of them!

Jordan
it is indeed much more appealing, although I suspect in the next few years it may be less so !
So festive am I feeling that I am considering the resurrection of The Goldeneye Christmas Party and, if so, then I would have to share the photos with you all.
This would also alleviate the requests I get for more explicit photos of myself (and no I’m not joking), gives me just 4 weeks to put the finishing touches on the body honing regime
Themed parties being all the rage, I may well adopt that as mandatory ‘dress code’
If anyone out there wants a complimentary ticket let me know

being a man of mystery and having got away with much over the years I harbor no fear of being caught even by the police never mind the mormons!

Re: Complimentary ticket’s for the ‘Goldeneye Christmas Party at The Goldeneye Naturist Retreat’
Wouldn’t go printing too many tickets in advance!
Although, Complimentary ticket’s for the ‘Goldeneye Christmas Party at The Goldeneye Naturist Retreat’ seem much more appealing than; Complimentary ticket’s for the York January Bookfair being offered by desperate Book Dealers!
Rod said,
November 27, 2006 @ 12:40 pm
Jordan,
Absolutely, I’d sooner have a free ticket for a barium enema than a ticket to the York bookfair.
A day looking for clothes in York… yes
A day looking at dusty books …..no
Here’s another thing going up
Jon Bon Jovi - Blaze of Glory
Santa Fe - what a track

Top tune.
And I blame this world for making a good man evil
It’s this world that can drive a good man mad
And it’s this world that turns a killer into a hero
Well I blame this world for making a good man bad

To save yourself from any impropriety we could supply you with a loin cloth from our latest business venture. Made of pure linen and knitted in Peru but looking remarkably like a dish cloth, it could be the best thing you get in your stocking this year! WoE (by Royal Appointment)

Jordan,
spot on!
Here’s some more this those unaware of this quality
I drink for free till I can’t see
Now I’m blind in Texas
The Cowboys have taken my eyes!
Brings back memories and not just of the band!

WoE
as impropriety is the name of the game, I’ll have to decline the offer of a loin cloth but many thanks all the same.
I suspect the real motive behind your generous offer was to get my to endorse your new product and be the poster boy for the campaign.
I can just see me walking out of the sea resplendent in a Peruvian loin cloth!
Bring a sample tomorrow, I’ll try one on and see how it looks, or more importantly how I look in it.
I fear if I publish the foto and I don’t fill it in a sufficently impressive manner I run the risk of an impotency inducing comment from Jordan that will give me a complex for the rest of my life.
Prost

Rod, what a fabuous idea …. you at your multifunctional best advertising the qualities of bathing in Cleethorpes, our new mineral complex for middle aged men, salt repelling lenses and our peruvian swimwear, endorsed by Jordan (headlining ‘for the man who has everything’!) plus it would help if you could be holding an antique, to boost sales in Horncastle of course …….
On se voit demain, WoE
Rod said,
November 27, 2006 @ 6:42 pm
I think another venue may be in order WoE
Firstly:
I would be reluctant to enter the water that laps up against the Cleethorpes sea defences.
Secondly:
I would take something impressive to tempt Jordan to Cleethorpes sea front I suspect
I could certainly hold something antique whilst wearing the swinwear, though quite what it would promote I cannot say

Hello all ,
In reading your recent comments, I for one would welcome a complimentary ticket to the York Bookfair. I must admit over the years
(72), I have never felt the need to visit such an event . But recently I did visit a local Bookfair, which was organised for Charity.
The Children did an excellent job organising this event, and a very pleasing amount of money was raised.
If this event was anything to go by, I would certainly recommend a visit to York .In these modern times Children and Young People should be given full support when they give up there free time to organise such events.
I would certainly also offer some of my old books for there stall, when they go from house to house collecting.
Perhaps some of you may consider doing the same.
A Retired Bookdealer said,

I was also wondering,
Do any of you know if they have a collection point or a venue in York,
Where any old books can be dropped off in York ??
Rod said,
November 28, 2006 @ 3:01 pm
Retired Bookdealer
very funny !
There must be a home address where you can just dump books around the York area. There must be a needy bookseller out there that needs all the help they can get !

Thank you for getting back to me with a reply, which i may add is of little use.
I think i may have to catch the bus into York.
A friend has just told me there is a Junk Shop or some such thing, that sells books and other related artefacts.
I may drop them off there. If its still open !.
Should they not want them, they may be able to pass them on to the
Children organising the book sale.
As at my age i do not want to carry them far,
Great idea, I will make haste while health permits.

I suggested a domestic address to save you the arduous trip into the city centre.
If you do feel up to to task of lugging a load of dusty old books I am sure you will be able to find someone in a shop that would be only too happy to get a helping hand and leg-up from a more experienced dealer such as yourself.
May I also add that your idea of supporting the inexperienced and younger booksellers who may be struggling in the current climate shows you in a good light.
A charitable thought, especially at this time of year
