Which is a timely idea over here because right in the middle of the hottest months of the year for us down in the Southern Hemisphere - we suddenly have these massive thunderstorms with the temperature dropping a lot as well!
It looks a bit like a monsoon outside.

And it sounds a bit like a monsoon too.
Which brings me to back once again in these discussions, to the Orient. If someone were to ask me which secret intelligence service is the most efficient (with all of what that entails...) I would say the Hong Kong one. What? There even is a Hong Kong secret intelligence service? Oh damn right there is.
And now that the Bond franchise has dropped like a stone into the bottomless pit of movie-land darkness, never to be seen from or heard of again, why let us consider the prospects for a real James Bond circa 2016.
He couldn't be driving a juvenile Londonistani Aston Martin! He would have an appropriately Oriental Mandarin-color leather interior-ed Rolls Royce Dawn drop-head. With a nice Chinese red coach-line up the side, rising seductively on the waist...
And his theme music would be some nice modern New York-made faux Shanghai chillout, in keeping with the international nature of today's Oriental intelligentsia: I am reminded of that Hong Kong professor from the think tank responding on RT to Ash Carter's idiocy to China about how the USA was a force for peace in Asia and the Far East. 'Ohh, no-h' the guy said in that peculiar HK British accent with the relatively poor grammar included as a bonus - 'Ahy doh-wun fink soh. The ho ('l' - there's an 'l' in there somewhere at the end; maybe a silent 'l'...) The ho wurwold nohs vaht Amehwicca was involved in the Vietnam War...'
