The One and Only Ocean Club from Casino Royale

One of the most impressive locations in Casino Royale was the One and Only Ocean Club in Paradise Island in the Bahamas. In addition to real luxury, with first class restaurants with HUGE prices, the main attraction is the unspoilt beaches with ocean views - the girls will remember that scene when Daniel Craig comes out of the water :-)

Villas in the resort hotel are eye wateringly expensive, but there are cheaper accommodations available there. Just remember to practise your texas holdem before you visit and maybe you'll win an Aston MArtin DB5 too.

The curse of best man speeches

Although the thought of best man speeches may fill you with dread a few moments after the honor be being asked by the groom, they aren't as bad as you might think. Best man speeches tend to follow a formula that people expect, and since they want to be entertained it takes some of the weight off your shoulders - or it should.

The bulk of the speech is a funny story, all you need to do is add an intro and a conclusion, and bingo, Bob's your uncle. Think about what you're going to say, write it all down, practise it, rewrite it, and condense it into note form - that is all you need to do. On the day you speech will go fine and you'll feel like a million dollars. Read more about best man speeches.

Algerian Love Knot

Just seen this great product for all Bond girls out there - an Algerian Love Knot necklace similar to that in Casino Royale. Although it isn't by the same designer, it does look pretty good.
