I am hoping with all my strength that this is not the hoax I suspect it to be. Daniel Craig will apparently help open the London Olympics later this year in character as James Bond, following a personal invitation from the Queen. If it is true – and, let’s face it, we’ve all heard hoaxes like this before – it is, for me, the coolest thing since the invention of the martini itself. What a better tribute to all things british? This is certainly a story I’ll be keeping an eye on. Oh please let it be true! [spastic squeal of excitement and mirth]
