DIARY: Stories we could tell ... Gutsy Kenny's adventure of a lifetime

<p>The binge season is upon us, but it may have started a few months </p><p>earlier for Jonathan Kenny. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Many will remember the former marketing whizz at media and the </p><p>International Herald Tribune as a very dapper sort. Who could forget </p><p>Kenny in his white tux bounding up the stage to claim his Hunk of the </p><p>Year prize at media's Agency of the Year awards some years back. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Well this has now landed on Diary's desk, courtesy of Kenny's friends in </p><p>Hong Kong, who've begged to remain anonymous. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>The good life on his yacht sailing around the world with girlfriend </p><p>Caroline Foster, now on sabbatical from CIA, has certainly caught up </p><p>with Kenny. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Shall we call it the tycoon look? He's got the prerequisite yacht, the </p><p>tan, the bedroom eyes and now the gut to stake his claim. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>But it wasn't all a laughing matter because on his journey, Kenny has </p><p>battled a man-eating shark in the Indian Ocean and escaped death by the </p><p>skin of his teeth by bribing a Yemeni policeman who was pointing a </p><p>Kalashnikov at his head. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Kenny and Foster, who are now resting near Rome, have announced plans to </p><p>tie the knot next July. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Amid the high jinks, the jury is still out on whether Kenny is the next </p><p>James Bond. Or is Austin Powers a more likely role for this </p><p>international man of mystery? </p><p><BR><BR> </p>
