Niwram this is slightly out of context but i must ask you.I reckon you are about 6"1" or 6"2" and craig is 5"9".

I think you got that wrong. That's not Niwram in that pic. He just copied & pasted something that another person posted elsewhere. And I guess that other person got himself (and maybe other people) into a bit of trouble.

Indeed... I thought some people were getting mixed up...

Not sure. The guy's post sounded more like he has got something to do with the bar in which the party took place.

[Skudor]

Didn't he say something about some of the people from the production company were friends of his?

I don't see anything wrong with that photograph; jackets do hang in straight lines sometimes, given the environment. If it were taken at a beach, I would be more suspicious. Aren't we becoming a little paranoid here? And besides, why would that guy go through the trouble of creating a mock-up photograph of himself with Craig, and then not drop a fake 'scoop' in that guest list, to make us all go crazy? I guess you never know, but my hunch is, this thing was genuine- mainly because it was relatively unimportant and added nothing really new.

Who knows what goes on in the head of a person who wants there to be a widely seen photograph of themselves at an exclusive party with the new James Bond. That might be reason enough in itself.

Anyway, often a big give away in composite fakes is the hands, notice that the photo is cropped to show no hands.

And I think that is a very suspicious like around Craig

If it's just an ego thing - 'Here's me and the new Bond!' - why post the guest list? And did that look like the kind of guest list someone would invent? It was huge, and had very few recognisable names on it. And yet when you looked up the names, they were all for people who could be there. I'm not saying someone couldn't have gone to all that trouble - but I think it's very unlikely that they would, for such little gain. People usually expend that amount of effort on faking bigger stories than that. I think it is fairly obviously the genuine article.

The picture looks real enough to me... if it's a fake, it would be monumentally sad....

Quite so.

And it would have required not only making up that guest list and a pic. Don't know if any of you noticed the other pic in the thread, which was only linked to and not displayed: the ticket to the party in English and Czech

Hey, I think the photo of Craig and the guy is fake. The guest list and the ticket are real. I do believe they had their party there. I just don
