Bonding with blonde ambitionThe London Trainee Solicitors Group, for no obvious reason, decided to launch their 2001 social calendar with a James Bond-themed evening under the banner 'You only bill twice'.

Going somewhat over the top on the Sean Connery Scottish brogue front, it was also billed as 'the firshhht event of 001', featuring the 'Mishhh Moneypenny Casino' and 'Mishh Shirley Bassey', aka stage artiste Ceri Dupree, proving, apparently, that 'a life in the law need not be a drag'.

Unless you have your casino sponsored by recruitment consultancy Michael Page, however, whose influence meant that the LTSG sent out an accompanying warning in its press release 'that you don't gamble with your career'.

Pictured are the blonde, female members of the LTSG's committee (from left): Suzanne Valentine, Jenifer Swallow, Beth Wright, Alexis Giles and Clare Carpenter.

Clearly the rest of the committee just isn't blonde and/or glamorous enough to be shown in public.
