OK, I admit it, for a long time I thought the "Bond Bug" was named after an appearance in a James Bond film. I just could never place which one. I had no idea they were real until I searched it out a few years ago. Who else would like to admit something silly they thought they knew?

Well, if we're all baring our souls... No 24 Weatherill Hydraulic Excavator was always WeatherHill Hydraulic Excavator to me, until fairly recently in fact. Yeah that's really lame but give me some time and I'll almost certainly come up with others
