Now, I live in my husband's village. I'm near my mother, but not too near! It's a new house, and it's got lots of space, a beautiful kitchen, and a large balcony. We've got heating (which my mother's house hasn't) and a large, comfortable bathroom inside! Unfortunately, we haven't got a very good view.

Brosnan's nice, and I really like Sophie Marccau — she's a brilliant baddie.

Best bit'? The scene when Brosnan and Marceau are skiing in the mountains.

It's quite shocking when Bond kills a woman -- he's usually such a gentleman!

Best bit'? The chase with the speed boats in the Thames. Bond's boat is really cool.

A day in the job of

Graham Rowe, biologist, Exeter University

My working day doesn't usually start very early, maybe around 10.00. My job involves some teaching, but it's mainly research. If I'm teaching, I often give a couple of lectures in the morning, and then I sometimes have students' work to look at jn the afternoon, or exams to correct, which can be very time-consuming. Lunch is a sandwich, and I drink constant cups of coffee through the day.

The research is what I really enjoy, and I often stay in the laboratory till 9.00 or 10.00, even overnight once in a while. I've got two post-graduate assistants, and we all work fairly long hours, including weekends. Anyone who thinks that academics have an easy life should come and work with me! The good side of it is that I get to travel for a month in the summer, usually to Kenya or Tanzania.

There isn't much that I don't like about the job — there's sometimes quite a lot of university paperwork, which can be annoying when I want to be in the lab .

1 he tartan kilt has long been the traditional dress in 1 Scotland. Different tartans belong to different clans or families. The first time that everyone in a clan started to wear the same tartan was in 1 61 8. One of 3 the most famous tartans is the Black Watch Tartan, which was designed in 1 740 especially for the Black Watch regiment. The modern kilt that we can see today was made in the 1 800s. It is not as big and heavy as the original kilt or 'philabeg', as it was

called. Nowadays, all Scots can find the tartan for 5 their own clan or family.

Scotsmen traditionally wear the kilt with a jacket, a white shirt, thick socks and black leather shoes. Round their waists they wear a sporran (a kind of purse) and in one sock they wear a traditional dirk (a small knife). On their heads they sometimes wear a beret. Women wear tartan too, but not with a sporran or a dirk. Many wear a simple white dress with a tartan plaid.

Nowadays, you don't see kilts every day, but men still 6 7 wear them for weddings, dances, and rugby matches.

03 FRIENDS & RELATIONS

Diana

I live in a house in a village near Oxford. It's about 80 years old and made of stone. We've got a living room, study. dining room, and kitchen downstairs. Upstairs

there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms - one of them is en suite. t think my favourite room has to be our bedroom - it has a view of the garden and the hills beyond. My husband and I love gardening. so we spend a lot of time outside in the summer.

Shawn

My apartment is on the third floor of an old wooden house. It's pretty big for one person, but that's good. It's got two bedrooms and a very large living room, which is great for me because I travel a lot and bring lots of things home with me. There's a small kitchen

with a balcony leading off of it, and a decent bathroom. My favorite room's the living room. That's

where I watch IV and listen to music. It's also where the air-conditioning is - it gets hot in Boston in the summer.

04 LIFE & ROUTINE

I usually get up at about 6.30. I just have coffee for breakfast. I get the bus to work. If I'm late I take a taxi, which is a bit expensive. My wife goes by bike, she likes to keep fit.

2 I always go to the gym at lunchtimes, about

12.30 or 12.45. I have a shower there too, and I often go to the café for lunch.

3 I leave the office at around 6.00 and maybe meet some friends for a drink. don't watch much telly, too much to do, and I never go to bed before

1 I love eating out at the weekend.

2 1 can't stand doing nothing.

3 1 really like watching IV in the evenings.

4 1 quite like clubbing.

5 1 hate reading the paper.

I love windsurfing ... the sea. the fresh air

2 Sometimes I just like sitting around. doing nothing.

3 I can't stand noisy pubs. I can never hear people.

4 I quite enjoy being alone. I don't always need company.

5 I hate getting up when it's still dark.

6 I quite like watching football on the box, but I prefer being there.

7 I don't like gardening. It hurts my back.

8 I really hate the weather here. It's so depressing.

09 ROADS & ROUNDABOUTS
