Last night we thought we'd totally indulge ourselves in Omani culture by taking a trip to the cinema to see the new James Bond film, Quantum of Solace. If you haven't already seen it, it's definitely worth a watch, although I do get the feeling that Bond's taking himself a bit too seriously these days.
Two things, however, caused annoyance to yours truly: firstly, the sex scene (apparently it was barely that) was edited out (taking titillation out of Bond is like getting rid of Q - oh wait, they've done that too), and secondly, none of the other audience members seemed to think it appropriate to turn off their mobile phones, or even to put them on silent mode. The duration of the film was littered with sound effects emanating from phones in all four corners of the cinema.
On a separate note, congratulations to Arsenal on a stirling job yesterday!
