"Offer is on the table": New James Bond actor revealed

In a world where the only constant is change, one thing remains certain: James Bond will always be suave, sophisticated, and British. The search for the next 007 has been a rollercoaster of speculation, rumours and hopes dashed faster than a villain's escape plan. But now the wait appears to be over. The man most likely in line to be the next James Bond has been revealed, and his name is Taylor-Johnson ... Aaron Taylor-Johnson. According to a report from <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/26774029/aaron-taylor-johnson-offered-role-james-bond/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Sun</a> on Tuesday, Eon Productions, the brilliant minds behind the iconic spy franchise, appear to have finally settled on their man. According to sources as reliable as Bond's impeccable taste in martinis, Taylor-Johnson is set to don the tuxedo and wield the Walther PPK in the next instalment of the series. Well, at least if he accepts the offer. “Bond is Aaron’s job, should he wish to accept it," The Sun reported. "The formal offer is on the table and they are waiting to hear back. “As far as Eon is concerned, Aaron is going to sign his contract in the coming days and they can start preparing for the big announcement.” Now, some of you might be scratching your heads, wondering, "Aaron who?" Aaron Taylor-Johnson is an English actor, which automatically makes him qualified for the role. Plus, he's been in action films like Tenet, Bullet Train and Avengers: Age of Ultron. So, he's no stranger to high-stakes thrills and spills. Also, did we mention he's British? Because that's kind of a prerequisite. At 33 years of age, Taylor-Johnson would be the youngest actor to step into Bond's impeccably polished shoes since George Lazenby back in 1969. Talk about big shoes to fill. But if anyone can handle the pressure, it's our man Aaron. Now, some purists might be clutching their martini glasses in horror, lamenting the departure of Daniel Craig, who graced our screens for five thrilling films. But fear not, for change is the spice of life, and if there's one thing Bond knows how to handle, it's change. Besides, who wouldn't want to see what Taylor-Johnson brings to the table? Maybe he'll introduce a new signature drink or a quirky catchphrase. The possibilities are as endless as Bond's list of conquests. The response to The Sun's announcement has caused a few reactions across the globe, with 9News reporting that "A source with knowledge of the situation tells CNN that Johnson has not been cast as Bond. And, BBC News reports that a 'production insider' said there is no truth to the rumours about Taylor-Johnson's casting." So, as we eagerly await the official announcement from Eon Productions, let us raise our glasses to Aaron Taylor-Johnson, the next suave superspy set to save the world, one shaken, not stirred, adventure at a time.

Jada's plea to Will Smith and Chris Rock

Jada Pinkett Smith has directly addressed her husband Will’s infamous Academy Awards outburst in the latest episode of her online chat show, Red Table Talk. Looking straight into the camera, Jada called on both her husband and Chris Rock, to put aside their differences and make peace. Best Actor Oscar winner, Will shocked viewers worldwide when he invaded the stage and smacked Rock, who had made a joke about Jada’s bald head. She has been open in recent years about being diagnosed with hair loss disorder alopecia. Jada’s latest episode of Red Table Talk was dedicated to telling the stories of those with alopecia, so she addressed the elephant in the room upfront. “This is a really important Red Table Talk on alopecia. Considering what I’ve been through with my own health and what happened at the Oscars,” she began. “Now about Oscar night: My deepest hope is that these two intelligent, capable men have an opportunity to heal, talk this out and reconcile,” she said, referring to her husband and Rock. She also seemed to suggest the reconciliation should play out on Red Table Talk, telling viewers: “The state of the world today, we need them both. And we all actually need one another more than ever. Until then, Will and I are continuing to do what we have done for the last 28 years, and that’s keep figuring out this thing called life together. Thank you for listening.” Jada has used the Red Table Talk format to publicly work through family issues in the past, famously opening up about an extramarital relationship in a past episode as her husband sat and watched. It’s a rare public statement from anyone in the Smith family about what went down on Oscars night, with Will keeping quiet aside from an apologetic statement released the day after the awards, saying his behaviour was “unacceptable and inexcusable.” Rock, too, hasn’t gone into too much detail, telling the audience at his next stand-up show: “I’m still kind of processing what happened. So, at some point I’ll talk about that sh*t. And it will be serious and funny.” Will Smith won the Best Actor Oscar just half an hour after slapping Rock, but since that night, his career has gone quiet, with several upcoming projects either delayed or cancelled.

2,000-year-old mosaic rediscovered as artsy coffee table

A 2,000-year-old Italian mosaic that disappeared during World War II has emerged almost 7,000 kilometres away, under a cup of coffee. The mosaic, originally commissioned by Emperor Caligula, was found by Italian ancient stone expert Dario Del Bufalo, who retold the story on CBS’s 60 Minutes. Mr Del Bufalo had been giving a lecture about the common rock Roman emperors used and handing out signed copies of his book Porphyry when he overheard a man and woman talking about a picture of the long-lost mosaic in the book. “There was a lady with a young guy with a strange hat that came to the table,” Mr Del Bufalo told <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/roman-emperor-caligula-coffee-table-60-minutes-2021-11-21/" target="_blank">CBS</a>. “And he told her, ‘What a beautiful book. Oh, Helen, look, that’s your mosaic.’ And she said, ‘Yeah, that’s my mosaic.’” After tracking down the unknown woman, Mr Del Bufalo discovered that her name was Helen Fioratti, who lived in New York working as an art dealer and gallery owner. <img style="width: 500px; height: 281.25px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7846173/mosaic1.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/b42ce8f23e804a99b2459ff5741f9575" /> A picture of the mosaic appeared in Dario Del Bufalo’s book ‘Porphyry’. Image: 60 Minutes (YouTube) In an interview with The New York Times, Ms Fioratti said she and her husband bought the mosaic from a noble Italian family in the 1960s. When it arrived in the US, the couple turned it into a coffee table. “It was an innocent purchase,” she told the publication. “It was our favourite thing and we had it for 45 years.” Despite the pair’s affection for the piece, the Manhattan district attorney’s office seized the mosaic, saying it had been stolen from a museum. “These items may be beautiful and storied, and immensely valuable to collectors, but willfully disregarding the provenance of an item is effectively offering tacit approval of a harmful practice that is, fundamentally, criminal,” New York County District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, Jr. said in a statement. <img style="width: 500px; height: 281.25px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7846174/mosaic2.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/ff5cd4ae477f4bff97977fe52c7c13e5" /> The lost mosaic was transformed into a coffee table by the New York art dealer.Image: 60 Minutes (YouTube) Mr Del Bufalo <a rel="noopener" href="https://happymag.tv/roman-mosaic-returned-to-museum-after-being-used-as-a-coffee-table/" target="_blank">said</a> he felt very sorry for Ms Fioratti, but that it was important that the mosaic returned to where it belonged. “I couldn’t do anything different, knowing that my museum in Nemi is missing the best part that went through the centuries, through the war, through a fire, and then through an Italian art dealer, and finally could go back to the museum,” he said. He added that he wants to make a copy of the piece for Ms Fioratti to replace her lost coffee table. “That’s the only thing I felt I should have done,” he said. “I think my soul would feel a little better.” Image: Ernesto Ruscio/Getty Images

"Nobody left the table that evening”: Explosive new claim in Madeleine McCann case

A US private investigator has worked undercover at the holiday resort in Portugal where Madeleine McCann vanished and has made explosive new claims that cast doubt on the McCann’s parenting checking system. The system the McCann family told police that they conducted checks on the children throughout the evening whilst they were at dinner at a nearby restaurant. However, in an interview on the <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.9news.com.au/maddie" target="_blank">Maddie</a> podcast, Boston-based investigator Joseph Moura claimed a bartender and waitress told him otherwise. This bartender and waitress had served the McCanns and their friends that evening and told Moura that “nobody left the table that evening”. Nobody working at the tapas restaurant where the McCann family and their friends dined that evening knew that Moura was a private investigator. "[The employees] had no idea that I was working with 48 Hours and CBS. I was just a tourist who happened to speak their language. So, I got to know them pretty well in that period of time, when you're spending a lot of time by the pool and you're spending time at the bar and the restaurant," he said. "They clearly told me that that particular night that nobody left the table. That goes by the bartender and that goes by the waitresses. Nobody left the table that evening." However, it is possible that the bartender and restaurant wait staff did not see Mr and Mrs McCann and their friends getting up to check regularly on their children. What do you think about the claims? Let us know in the comments.

Why Prince George and Princess Charlotte cannot sit with their parents at the dinner table

Being a part of the royal family means a long list of rules and etiquette that one must follow, right down the line to the youngest members of the family. The offspring of royals are taught from a very young age the prerequisites and protocols they must adhere to. So, it’s not surprising Prince George and Princess Charlotte are already being taught which behaviours are forbidden and allowed. <a href="https://www.harpersbazaar.com.au/celebrity/rules-princess-have-to-follow-16628">Harper’s Bazaar Australia</a> has revealed that Prince William and Kate’s young children are not allowed to sit and eat at the same table as their parents or other adult family members, during official royal visits. Once they’re old enough and have “learned the art of polite conversation” they will be permitted to join their mother and father and other grown-ups at formal, sit-down occasions involving a meal. Another rule Prince George and Princess Charlotte are expected to adhere to (and Prince Louis once he is old enough), is to learn multiple languages, which is not surprising when you consider the number of countries that are part of the Commonwealth. Princess Charlotte has been learning Spanish from her nanny, according to <a href="https://people.com/royals/princess-charlotte-is-so-polite-and-very-confident-says-source-and-speaks-some-spanish/">PEOPLE</a>, who speaks to the royal children in her native language. The Duchess of Cambridge has also revealed that Prince George, who attends school fulltime, can already count to 10 in Spanish. Another rule that recently came to light was Prince George’s attire. The reason we always see the four-year-old wearing shorts in public – with the exception of his <a href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/lifestyle/beauty-style/2018/05/the-rule-prince-george-broke-at-the-royal-wedding/">page boy</a> role at Prince Harry and Meghan’s recent wedding – is due to tradition. It is traditional for upper-class boys in England to wear shorts up until the age of seven. “Trousers are for older boys and men, whereas shorts on younger boys are one of the silent class markers that we have in England,” etiquette expert William Hanson told the Express. “Although times are (slowly) changing, a pair of trousers on a young boy is considered quite middle class, quite suburban. “And no self-respecting aristo or royal would want to be considered suburban. Even the Duchess of Cambridge.” When it comes to fashion for three-year-old Princess Charlotte, you might have noticed the young royal always wears a bow in her hair to match her pretty dress. Charlotte will also not be allowed to wear any tiaras before marriage. This is because tiaras are “a sign of status and would show you were taken and not looking for a husband,” etiquette expert Grant Harrold explains. What do you think about these royal traditions bestowed upon the new generation? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.

5 dinner table rules most people have forgotten

Most of us learn our table manners from the rest of our family, and depending upon how strict our upbringing was, it can result in varied knowledge of subtle dinnertime signals. Today we’re going to take a look at some traditional table manners guidelines that will show to those in the know that you know exactly how to behave during a meal. Those who don’t follow the same ‘rules’ probably won’t care a jot. 1. Don’t put a used utensil back on the table Once a utensil has been used, it shouldn’t touch the table again. Most of us will rest the handle of the knife and fork on the table, leaning up against the plate. But the correct way to place them down while you take a drink or have a breather is to place them entirely upon your plate. 2. How to place your utensils after your meal Once you’re finished with your food, place the knife and fork side by side diagonally on the plate (handles at four o’clock). Remember to keep the blade of the knife facing the centre of the plate – not pointing outwards. 3. When it comes to multiple utensils, work your way in When confronted with multiple layers of cutlery, the general rule is to start at the outside and work your way in. Anything placed above the plate is intended for dessert. 4. Where to put your napkin Your napkin or serviette should be placed onto your lap when you take your seat, or once your drink arrives, and should remain there for the duration of the meal. A couple of exceptions: <ul> <li>When leaving the table during the meal, you should place the napkin on the table to the left of your fork. While some prefer to leave it on the seat, this could end up soiling your clothes, defeating the purpose of the napkin in the first place.</li> <li>If you are eating something messy, which could easily create a mess on your outfit (think spaghetti), it’s acceptable to tuck the napkin into your collar.</li> </ul> When the meal is over, place the napkin onto the table. 5. When in doubt – follow the leader If you’re unsure what a certain utensil should be used for, or how much of a certain dish you should take, a discreet look to your host should give you an idea of what to do. What’s a rule for the dining table you always follow, no matter what?

The dirtiest part of your plane seat exposed

When you consider the fact that they cart hundreds of passengers around the world every day, it’s no surprise that the cabins of planes are breeding grounds for germs. Seats in particular are hotbeds for microscopic nasties, which makes sense when you consider it’s the part of the cabin every passenger is guaranteed to touch. What might be a little more surprising however, is the dirtiest part of your seat. A new study from <a href="http://www.travelmath.com/feature/airline-hygiene-exposed/" target="_blank">TravelMath</a> found that tray tables, where you eat your food or rest your hands, is by far the dirtiest part of each individual plane seat. While planes are generally given a once-over between flights, this normally isn’t nearly enough to get rid of the bacteria that has built up over numerous flights. Our suggestion? Pack some hand sanitiser!

Last week’s article featuring <a href="http://www.oversixty.com.au/entertainment/technology/2017/04/microsoft-word-tips/" target="_blank">Microsoft Word tips</a> proved to be a hit, so we thought we'd get back to basics, and show you another great tip. We love getting tips emailed through from our readers, and this week’s tip was sent through from our reader David Jones. He writes: I get annoyed when I get a listing of items (say an Agenda) with a number lines and spaced items using the TAB key, or worse a series spaces like this: Accounts: David’s account $5000.00 Donation $450.00 Peter’s $600.00 We hear you David! We feel the same. When you use the tab key and the spacebar key on the keyboard to create spaces, your information will look different when viewed on another device. The formatting does not stay, and your information looks very messy. Align your text with tables To keep your information neat and tidy, use tables. Tables in Microsoft Word is an organisational tool that lets you present your information in an easy to read format. The same thing can be easily shown using “Tables” <img width="498" height="180" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/35654/in-text-one_498x180.jpg" alt="In Text One (1)"/> <ul> <li>You can align text right in the money column</li> <li>Align the names left in the mid column</li> <li>Use tabs</li> <li>If preferred remove the table lines altogether:</li> </ul> A.

But try to print the spaces and tabs option without using table format, none are likely to align the way you see it. Tables are a great way to present numbers, but also a great way to present text and graphics.

The size of your dinner table contributes to how much you eat

Here’s some food for thought. Despite several factors that affect how much people eat, researchers have found a new influence: the size of your table. The process: During the study, scientists sliced pizzas into different sized slices and distributed them between small and large tables. Students were then invited to eat as much pizza as they wanted. The results: Researchers found that people who were at the large tables ate less than the people at the small tables. The reason: They believe that the size of the table altered the way the students saw the pizza. The message: If you want to eat less food it’s a good idea to serve it in smaller portions on large tables.

Why you shouldn’t feed your pet table scraps

Don’t cave into those big brown puppy eyes! If you feed your furry friend scraps from the dinner table, you could be unwittingly sending them to an early grave. Pet obesity is on the rise with vets seeing an increasing number of obese animal in the last few years. However, many owners remain unaware their pets were on the heavy side or that pet obesity was even a problem. Roy Morgan Research found that 42 per cent of Aussie dog owners were feeding their pooch table scraps, with many people underestimating just how fattening the food is for our pets. For example, one sausage for a nine kilogram pooch is the equivalent of a person eating three hamburgers. Similarly, one biscuit for a small animal is like us demolishing the entire biscuit packet! Zara Boland, a clinical vet, told the Daily Mail: “By feeding scraps and human food treats to our pets we are literally shortening their lives as well as accelerating them towards a range of adverse health conditions associated with malnutrition and obesity. Yet simply by ensuring nutritionally balanced and tasty meals, we can demonstrate our love and commitment to them.” However, not all people food is bad for our pets. Kristina Johansen, a dog nutritionist, says, “Vegetables such as green beans, baby carrots, broccoli, zucchini or any other dog-safe crunchy vegetable are excellent treats, as are some fruits such as apples, pears, bananas, and melon.” She recommends pet owners “avoid treats that are high in fat and calories such as cheese, sausages and peanut butter, and feed them smaller treat portions”.
