Recently Australian Opposition leader Anthony Albanese was reportedly shaken but otherwise OK after a motor accident, a classic case surely of shaken but not stirred.
That term, as we know, was uttered by the first James Bond, Scotland’s Sean Connery, who died aged 90 recently.
Reading his obituary in the Economist I was startled, as doubtless readers will be, to learn that when he played Bond, he was bald and his famous good looks relied on a bloody wig.
This information left me stirred but not shaken.
