I may or may not be able to post a new installment of my Spectre rant this week as I'm preparing for my trip to Paris. I can definitely say there will not be one next week, as I will be enjoying the city of light. On that note, considering this is a hip international crowd, does anyone have any suggestions/tips for a Paris first timer? Thanks in advance!

Re: Paris Mission Imposeeblay
Wishing you a passionate leave on your Parisian mission STOP advise that you retain Inspector Clouseau of the esteemed DizzyM Bureau should you meet any adverseries or henchmen who have protruding ears, waxy faces, who favor extremely tight suits by Sausage le Oeux, Sneeryle (on the Coast). The Inspector willfully advises the Louvre, of course, and a ride on the Seine... perhaps Versailles (a quick trip if all cylinders are blasting on the Bentley), awe inspiring sight and site, talk about Bond villain HQs! STOP Of coruse the Champs Elysee, Arc de Triomphe, and an interesting arch in the finance district STOP a church in Chartres if Cmdr DB is into stained glass windows STOP however, I realize you would like tip on a nice café or such, regrettably memory fails Cmdr. 0077 STOP however, perhaps you can send us all a special message when you arrive and we may remember the name of nice restaurant STOP Also, beware of pickpockets, remember your training! STOP also, many Parisians, especially older ones are actually very snobbish (based on fear they will be found out, of course), and very formal French is required for these boors .... younger people should not usually be so STOP just give out the friendly frequencies and you should meet many friendly folks, it works worldwide, can't let a few bad apples ruin the pie, etc. etc. STOP btw on a tangent: Bond Coincidence Dept: When 0077 was last in Paree, the mother of one of his Bond girls (from California), a great beauty (the daughter, that is), athlete, big brain .... she was in a tour bus going down the Champs Elysee, and guess who she Viewed ambling haphazardly, suave as Clouseau himself? Qui, it was Cmdr. 0077. Imagine, we didn't know one another's schedules, thousands of miles apart, and at that exact moment and space, wala! STOP final tip: as a Double O, remember you are suaver than any Parisian, you can raise your eyebrow better, curl your lip in a mock smile with more disdain, and say 'Banco' even at MacDonald's.
There is so much to see and experiences in Paris I wouldn't know where to begin.
After my vacation I came back to find the automotive restoration company restoring my classic british sports car is giving me the once over so I've been dealing with that and preparing a possible law suit. But enough about me, I fully intend to continue with my Spectre Introspective, if for no other reason that to take my mind off this madness. It will just take a little time until I can get my head clear, and find the time to do it. Thank you all for your support in my rants it keeps me coming back!
