Wonderful Christmas break
I've had a wonderful Christmas break with my hubby. It has been so hard to get out of bed.
Saturday
Returns
A few of Hubby's Christmas gifts had to be returned by post. It proved rather expensive.
This is the downside of on-line shopping I guess.

James Bond
We've been watching the Sean Connery old Bond films. A lot of people say that Connery is the best Bond, but I think that the popularity of the early Bond films is also due to their overall mood and style. Compared to the 1970's Roger Moore movies, they are so different. A lot more laid back, not quite as corny, slower too.

911
The date of 9/11 is also odd : September 11th 2001.
In the UK that would be 11/9 - nothing significant. In the US it is 9/11. 911 is the Amercian emergency services number.
Is this just a coincidence?
Would Arab terrorists plan an attack on that date just by chance?
I sound like one of The Lone Gunmen now.

9/11
The Lone Gunmen pilot episode aired 6 months before 9/11.
Watching it really freaked us out.
The show details how an airliner is piloted into the World Trade Centre. The plane itself is the weapon, rather than a bomb.
It genuinely makes you think "what the h...? "

The Lone Gunmen detailed 911
From Wikipedia:
The debut of the show in March 2001, began with Byers' father faking his death to uncover a conspiracy to hijack an airliner. The Lone Gunmen try to get to the truth of his supposed death and uncover the conspiracy.
One retrospectively interesting aspect of this pilot episode is that the airliner has been hijacked (via remote control of the plane's autopilot) and, by the end, both Byers and his father have boarded the plane to try to stop the hijacking. Through the aid of the other Gunmen, they are able to regain control of the plane and just miss crashing into the World Trade Center with the airliner.
This, of course, was before the actual 9/11 attack against the World Trade Center later that year.
