How are the books ? Especially Casino Royale, is the movie along the book or did they have to make a lot of shortcuts ? I had to watch the movie thrice, to be honest, to fully understand the plot.

The first three or four films were very close to the books and then they started to diverge. I have not seen any of the Daniel Craig Bonds so I cannot comment on those, but Roger Moore was nothing like Fleming's creation.

Casino Royale is probably one, if not the, best Bond movie so far.

The last one.

Thought that but had to point out its been done. Even with Woody Allen.

The plot was simple. Here's a highlight:
In London, Mata Bond is kidnapped by SMERSH in a giant flying saucer, and Sir James and Moneypenny travel to Casino Royale to rescue her. They discover that the casino is located atop a giant underground headquarters run by the evil Dr. Noah, who turns out to be Sir James's nephew Jimmy Bond. Jimmy Bond secretly leaves the MI6 to defect to SMERSH to take a new role of killing spies. Jimmy reveals that he plans to use biological warfare to make all women beautiful and kill all men over 4-foot-6-inch (1.37 m) tall, leaving him as the "big man" who gets all the girls.

Was it also the password he entered in the bank money transfer machine?

I have not read many, however, I did notice that Bond usually gets the stuffing beat out of him at least once each book. The current set of movies does this more than the old ones.

A View to a Kill involves him lying on a bed the whole way through and shooting once.

I read through the books in order last year. A real mixed bag. Oddly, while not my favorite movie Bond, I think George Lazenby fits the character the best.

Car - no chance
Parking place - got
food - not even a vending machine for that
drink - ok we have free coffee and tea
(and I was thinking more individual rather than company wide, we have a pay freeze and are thinking of ways to get round it)

Food and drink are indeed company wide, but car is a very individual.
I also offered phone but turned it down as the taxation is too high for one do not use phone more than twice a day...
Bonuses (we didn't got nothing in last two years )?
Gift cards (we getting those twice a year on big holidays)?

You mean like stealing stationary?
This week I learnt that the reason we have a turnstyle into the car park from the offices is because too many people were collecting things from stores and walking them to their car and then home.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

not sure I could get stealing stationary added to my enumeration package, just a feeling they may baulk at it
