Daniel Craig wears too many clothes

He was a little too buff in Casino Royal but generally speaking I think Daniel Craig wears too many clothes...BUT as long as he dresses well (see photos) I am OK with it!

BUT some people should definitely KEEP their clothes on ... e.g. Russell Brand....

some may find it sexy others not so much...

An overdue update...

LOL!! the folks at Private Eye never fail to crack a smile on my face!

I am so tired tonight. I am in France this weekend for a short trip. Soon I am off on my vacation. I have been going on and on about it for sometime now. I just cannot wait! This week at work has been extremely hectic and next week is going to get even worse so vacation is well earned! I didn't anticipate for work to get this busy - but then our office goes from one extreme to another! One day it is very dead and the next I just can't even find time to reply to a work email!

Anyway....tonight I saw "The Painted Veil" starring Edward Norton and Naomi Watts. A very nice movie! I love the beautiful Far Eastern scenery...very nice. I would love to one day visit that part of the world....

laters :-)

Hillay's headache

An interesting article. I really wouldn't want Hillary to miss out on this Presidential race. The best solution would be to have Hillary run for President and Obama as her running mate. This way, Obama can get a bit experience and then he can run after Hillary has ended her tenure...

Silver tights hurt my eyes! OUCH!!

Umm Charolotte Church is pregnant and getting married next month if anyone cares!

On to something different. Did anyone watch the FA cup quarter final with Chelsea and Hot Spurs? Chelsea won...which sucked but for me the highlight was the constant booing of Cashley Cole (oops not again, sorry I meant Ashley Cole)..

I have been a little bit hooked to this social site called Stureplan. It is the Stockholm's "happening place". Anyway, this girl called Elin Kling does not fail to entertain me in her weekly "fashion column". Maybe something is wrong with my judgement but all I see every week is almost the same outfit and just with a different coloured tights! I really hope that "fashion followers" do not follow her because its just that the tights aren't even that special. They are hideous!! Anyway, Here is a photo of her and a link to her column. Be amused!

Update from Britain: Our Home Secretary's brain is missing and oh we only have space for 50 inmates in our prisons. Or in other words, we have some problems...

Hillary Clinton Vs Barack Obama

I believe this is going to be an interesting race to watch. I know there are the other candidates but personally I think the race is going to be narrowed down to these 2. Hillary has a lot going for her except for one thing that is that she supported the war in Iraq. A lot of die hard Democrats are against the war in Iraq so she has a lot of explaining to do. To be honest with you, I am also interested in hearing her reasons. Barack, on the other hand, is fairly new. He didn't vote for or against the war in Iraq because at that time he wasn't even in the Senate! He is very popular and likable. But I believe, Hillary has the money, and like it or not, it comes down to who can raise the funds.

Personally I think it should be Hillary who should get the Democratic endorsement. Why? Because at this time USA's profile and image is in tatters thanks to W. I believe, they need someone strong, experienced and charming. Hillary is all 3. Barack is an unknown figure on the international stage. He needs more experience. His time will come! Anyway, this is my opinion. Lets see what happens.

Hillary Clinton joins 2008 race

So it's confirmed. It was one of the worst kept secrets. I can't say what type of president she will be but I can say for sure that she is going to be better than W. Anyway, I really admire Hillary. I think she is a legend. If I could vote in American elections, I would vote for her. I find her strong, independent, smart and over all very likable. I would love to meet her one day.

The other contender Barack Obama may give her the run for her money. He seems rather charming and very popular. Young as well. I don't know him (as if I know Hilary!) but he gives a very good impression,so crowds are definitely gonna like him.

There is a sales gap at GAP

While I was reading the FT today (Financial Times), I noticed this article about the possible sale of Gap (the US clothing store). I am not going to put the link to that FT article here because it isn't available without subscription. I might scan it and put it here. I have found a free link from The San Francisco Chronicle though (at the end).
Anyway, back to the news. I am not at all surprised by this possible sale. I used to love GAP. It was sexy, colourful and nice. For the past 3 years (the last thing I bought from Gap was in 2004), I have not been impressed with the quality at all. It feels like that they try and get the big stars as the faces of their campaigns but they forget that it's not Sarah Jessica Parker or Seal that customers are going to buy. It’s the clothes! The clothes are appalling. The colours are awful. There is beige, there is very very light pink and there is more beige, more light pink, maybe a disgusting brown shade...but there is no variety. They have tops for girls. A small top that looks so well out of proportion. The jackets that just look so old fashioned. What happened? I know a lot of other people who have stopped shopping there.

The prices as well are just ridiculous. Why would I spend £25 pounds on a tank top when I can get something much better, sexier and cheaper from a more trendy shop say for example Zara or Promod?

Struggling Gap considers sale

Gap, the largest US speciality clothing retailer and an icon of American casual style, is considering a range of options, including a sale of the company, following more than two years of slumping sales.
According to people familiar with the matter, Gap has in the past few weeks given bankers at Goldman Sachs a mandate to examine the company's strategic alternatives, raising speculation that it could be taken private in a leveraged buy-out worth more than $16bn.

Time's up?

I believe that José Mourinho's days at Chelsea FC might be numbered. To me it seems that all is not too well between Mourinho and his boss Abramovich. Well, a little while ago Mourinho said in an interview that if Abramovich was to do Mourinho's job, he would probably ask for a pay out and quit. 2 weeks later Abramovic (who almost never gives interviews), gave an interview to the Observer and he was asked about his relationship with Mourinho. He said that "they did not have a friendly relationship but it was warm". Hmm ...I don't think it sounds good.

Anyway, not that I care. Although I like Michael Ballak, I am still an avid Arsenal supporter :-) I was converted last year in Jan!
