So having "resigned" from my first Empire, and had my 2nd empire STOLEN... I started again..
I had spent the 25,000 GBP cash from part of Seabrook & SMITH Ltd token "settlement" in 6 months ...anyway I still had membership of social / business clubs / IOD / and was invited to join International ROUND TABLE (I become their european co-ordinator & "Round tabler of the Year" in 1990 (Bordeaux)
(as an aside...during that meeting when I was presented with the I.R.T. award.. It was in Bordeaux, a city & region i was SO familiar with due to earlier wine trade experiences & a few holidays / visits with/to family Duniau ..
I first met Danielle when she worked for the Bordeaux agents of Isis shipping ...(Ltd!) ;)
we became friends, when I took personal time out to show her around the area near London when she visited the company (Isis Shipping Ltd! ) ... so when I was in Bordeaux and had been virtually OUT of the wine trade for a few years by then (and after the Linda/Mike shock in 86) had focussed on "re-development" of my ideas ) ...decided to call her /her family from the hotel in Bordeaux, her son answered, and after a polite exchange , I asked for his mum... " he said (I cant recall if we spoke french or english at the time) "she died" ..I was shocked.. he went on to explain that
she had some rare viral disease and had died suddenly the year before ..she was probably still in her (late) thirties and such a vibrant lady...so french in a positive sense...but open to be international too/..it hurt , like LOSING a member of my direct family ... (for anyone of my generation, she had looks similar to french (almost soft porn) film star "Emanuelle" whose films were often on Tv late at night..
I had met an Electronics genius at a club :social dinner: dressing up in dinner suit ("smoking") and.
there would be a table with random guests , a fine dinner at an expensive hall, and on this occasio. an elctronics "genius" (John Portsmouth) was sitting next to me, there was a "tasteful" striptease artiste in between the boxing matches , and one young business man on our table, got "invited" on to the stage, as usual with me, there was always "something" happening... but all JOHN did was moan... " I cant make profit, I have great inventions, and sell well (he was supplying the regional police with "ice detectors" for their cars,.for example!) but at the end of the year, my company always seems to be in debt...(slightly) " ....I just eventually told him, something like " ok this is a sort of business event, but lets have a good time, give me your card, and I will visit you,just to see if there is any ideas to help, NO OBLIGATION..."
I went to him (Maldon, Essex, not far from London, on the east coast) and it was obvious...I told him that if he agrees I will come to him and manage the company, freeing him to focus on electronics, and employ his wife part time to gether with a part tiem secretary to answer phones/adminstarte AND chase their customers for payment of invoices (no one did this) I " I forbade JOHN from answering the phone, my fee? if he made profit, that next year ..i would be paid... the comapny did, and i got paid well, and BEST of all, he told all of his contacts.,..
very soon I was going all over Europe & dealing with some requirements in Asia & New York, many aspects were technical/electronics/media related, but I also gave personal advices to corporate leaders & entrepreneurs of ANY trade..so picked up more & more experience...then led 3 of my clients to take over "CES" a group of telecom/security companies whose managing directors had left taking a million cash with them abroad... the company was "on the market" for a MILLION GBP, I got it for OUR group, (I led 3 client-companies; JoHns & 2 others who by chance were suppliers of "CES" ..which gave me a couple of aces to play in negociations...)
for ONLY 70,000 GBP!!! yes I was/(am) that good... ;)
I the new "C.E.S" / Salus group ... made (directed & script-wrote) marketing video , managed the company for several months until there was a sudden recession and the government telecom / security contracts literally dried up..to NOTHING! ..
BUT I had MORE experience and a taste of the telecom/security/electronics world and got a contract (at 6000 GBP a month to consult for Videotronics ) and they become one of the 10 ten of that industry (see my international security directory) ... but Uwe Bischke (the german owner ) was a dictator, and we parted around 1988 ...so I decided I NEEDED a protect to "end all projetcs" that could OCCUPY my imagination and keep me busy for the remainder of my life..,.
SO i created "GEMnet" (to network a co-operative with 300 business partners in 45 nations, with 500 online services via satellite (UKRAINE space agency, Kiev) network, and a mobile laptop (costing only 200 USD) by 1995..backed with a 6 billion USD budget by major national & corporate telecom corporations!!!!)
.....! then drama , drama & 7 years of drama, experiences, experiments excitement , fun ..and (to be continued)
Note BENE!
in the early 1950s LIVERPOOL F C (then in the old second division of the english league) changed manager/coach
BILL SHANKLY ("Shanks") applied... but was not appointed as he insisted on TEAM selection control..& all matters relating to the TEAM development.. several years later , Lfc were still in the 2nd division and the coach was
"resigning due to stress of managing Lfc under pressure" ...the CHAIRMAN (then Mr T Williams) WENT TO VISIT Shanks..
and offered him the job... SHANKS BUILT the success of modern LIVERPOOL... created the style on & off the field..
"a messiah" (in the words of loyal REd supporters) turned the club intoa global entity and after the club won THIRTEEN LEAGUE champions titles and EUROPEAN champions SIX times, without Shanks, and the basis HE alone created IT WOULD NOT have been possible, IF your chairman wants me, he must come to convince me, here!
AND ... a bit of "critical fun" ("No time to die" ? ...this film died for me! _)
when I was very Very young my Dad got me in to the local cinema, to watch "Dr No" (it must have been a saturday matinee as he worked all week until the evening & many years later, I was fortunate enough to be able to "repay Dad" by taking him to a cup final at wembley ... ;)
I was hooked on this "hero" for me SEAN Connery WAS BOND, and although others have attempted .. (& Craig did well, in Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, & especially "SKYFALL" which for me, SHOOULD have ended his tenure & the film series , with more than 20 ..(the worst were with Moore, although funny, with more special effects & stunts, lost the "edge" that Connery had...) so....
" ....
IMO badly made , apart from the "images" and effects (especially the pre-title opening sequence
(although wiping out an old italian city tobbaco shop isnt on Bond's CV... and not sure IF Craig (i cant call him james in this one)
REALLY BELIEVES "maddy" betrayed him. ...why didnt he use the famnous (see "Goldfinger" ) aston martin ejector seat....??
and ...
a) the baddies machine gun managed to miss him on the bridge, whilst he contemplated jumping off it?
b) the real BOnd (Sean) would have killed the villian level 2 that he caught up with just afterwards...
in that " anger mood" that Craig had with Maddy... (and make a jokey face about the bionic eye when Craig is in amger mode??? no! )
c) and in the square the machine gun didnt kill villian 2 either even though it would have before he jumped back behind a car..
d) and the explosion at "Vespas tomb" just left Craig with a dirty face & jacket?
.... hmmm,why "sorry" , Lynd betrayed Bond!
hsd to smile that Maddy burnt the "man in mask" considerinmg the PLANdemic delayed release of the film
and their company/& others (allegedly) lost millions because of it ...and the "theme" ...a bug that threatens millions
"real life" & cinema ...difficult to know who is "acting" , isnt it??
.... and in the first scenes //Maddy didint know the panic room code? ...
.."Mr. White was killed by Bond in "Quantum of solace@ or at the end of Casino Rayale!
didnt villian 1 know this??? does nt he go to the cinema??? ;)
and little Maddy falls through the ice, BUT (heavier?) Safin (Villian 1 ) does not...even whilst shooting holes in it from inches away...
ha ha ha
////
I am all for equal rights //// but NOT "political correct favouritism??? who is related to Lashana Lynch for her to get 4 th billing and (M played by Ralph, whom i much prefer in "english patient" ) gets the 007 rank even as a newcomer AND in this most important mission..
were all the other 00 agents on holiday??? and do not like 007b smarmy comments///..to the real 007!
and of course, like just about every new film or series ..someone HAS to be "gay" so lets choose Q...
(Q for Q... Quartermaster...of course) its just too feckup a film for me , a mess...
and the attack on the M16 LOndon bug centre, protected by some old bloke in a uniform, ha ha ha ...,
UK govt spent all their budget on nuke weapons & elsewhere?
But Paloma brightens the film (Ana de Armas?) although silly & over/under dressed.. ;) ///... some of the best moments, out shoots & out shines Craig/Bond? ...
( funny, she looks at Craig when he is changing into evening wear...after he tells her to turn around) oh. and at that ~ cuban party (intended to kill Bond) Villian nomber 2 is working for Blofeld ? but really ..for Safin (Villian 1) !
its a mess//////... but (apart from the above "party" when the spectre-gets get "bugged")
there is no blood.. no one spills blood, in this or in later shoot-outs...at the Safin buggery! ;)
and apart from when Safin shoots Craig near the end, a 100 shots at Craig by "professional mercenary gunmen" in this film //miss him!!!
(but little Villian 1 hits him twice !!! )
BTW, according to the Tomb ; Vesper (1983-2006) was only 23 years old at her death??? sure the Uk treasury often give 23 year olds the responsibility of funding 00
agents with gambling money...! (Casino Royale)
ok no one expects a BOND film to be "realistic" ..but please dont make it a farce!
mind you, they enter that phase when deciding, after 20 odd films, to make Blofeld a FOSTER brother ...??? ha ha ha
... its the sort of immature NOVELTY angle that bad TV "soaps" come out with..
so after the party Craig takes the 007b plane, sits the villian-scientist ( murderer ) BEHIND him
without frisking him for a weapon? ( did he have a needle in the briefcase perhaps...? )
.........then on the boat, Felix gets shot, the cia-mormon (moron) shot him. and as Craig falls down into the below deck, (un-ARMED) the cia villian (...3?) shuts the door , instead of shooting a defence-less Bond??
hmmm the same villian shoots m,any times at Craig later in the forrest!! ... its a mess...
when did Villian 2 (eye eye) when did he switch? ..from Blofeld to being number 2 for Safin??
...the life raft comes from nowhere, as does the mobile phone , and then suddenly Bond is driing the Vantage
out of his London hide-away, where the bulldog gift from the (better acted) M (Judy Dench) is seen..
its really as if the directors/producers just threw everything into the "story" bit like one
of my amateur videos where I have attempted to include all MY "messages to the world" in one video
/// ha ha ha...
Craig having to come in via "visitor" (in real life he would have been eliminated by M16 not "retired")
and when "family man Craig " took Maddy & Mathilde from their house,, he took an off road vehicle, NOT the Vantage
he came in (which in a previous Bond film was equipped with rockets etc etc. and would have seen off the "mormon-moron & co" attack//
M meets Craig in his office, pouring himself a whisky but not for Bond...? (unlike Judy-M_ )
and a ~super villian Safin, promoted by the producers as "one of the most dangerous & intelligent Bond has faced..."
a) doesnt have anyone on LOOK-out protecting his massive bug factory from visits via spy planes??
b) also doesnt have a guard (NOR CCTV?) at the sea entrance, despte having hundreds of staff there
whilst 007b now says Craig can be 007A again... she shoots her machine pistol as if its a water-pistol...
if Eon want her to be the new "hero" of the next series, although I would not be surprised if they followed the rest of the film "industry" & re-mashed the previous originals .from Dr No... (intro by Maddy, telling her daughter about "Daddy Bond" ?)
after Safin shoots Craig... he manages to be overwhelmed easily, Bond has 2 bullets in him, but Safin. ..~lets him ...and is (too) easily killed after informing Craig he is infected with a bug that would kill Maddy / Mathilde...
hmmm then Bond goes up top to die...
instead//if BOND decided to make another film, he could have gone down...under tons of concrete protection from the incoming missiles . climb in the spy plane / submarine, slip out under water a few metres, and survived to hopefully get Q to find an antidote ..
but Craig has had enough ...and so have I, they ruined one of my favourite entertainments... the Bond series...
I will miss you
(still never was quite the same after SEAN.., although Craig was good in Royale & Skyfall, where the series should have ended)
...at the end , pretty sure in another (better) script, they would have toasted BOND's end with "shaken not stirred" martinis??
