    The James Bond Christmas Video! Enjoy! 😊

    👼And a partridge in a pear tree 👼

    I never realized before that Brosnan Bond fell into a house and exploded. Some funny twists with the editing and overall a wonderful video. Thanks for sharing.

    I also enjoyed your contribution @Agent_99 and thanks for keeping this thread alive @RichardTheBruce and @Fire_and_Ice_Returns

    Cheers, feel free to pick up a day to post :).

    The 3rd image is a great allusion to the tunnel in Matera in NTTD.

    Thanks. Great that you engaged with it. I thought it was fitting for inclusion in this thread and it's interesting to note that the Director of GCHQ is a certain Sir Jeremy Fleming. A very apt name for an Intelligence chief! :)

    Here I was thinking I could do a few quick little puzzles to start the day off and after being infuriated by the first one for 10 minutes, I gave up and looked at the solutions. Safe to say, I will not get hired by GCHQ (or my country's equivalent) anytime, soon...

    How nice to see the beasts of Bond included!

    Who were the first to cry NOWELL?
    Animals all, as it befell,
    In the stable where they did dwell!
    Joy shall be theirs in the morning!

    The letters are too blurred on the Engineering puzzle unfortunately when i zoom in, I will try to guess it from letters I can make out.

    The Codebreaking puzzle is the one I am struggling with though i am determined to solve it lol

    Very fitting having a Fleming as the Intelligence Chief.

    You seem to have done very well so far! That picture I posted may not be the best version of the puzzle available online. Perhaps the link from GCHQ would provide a better image for you to use?

    Well, this doesn't have a Bond connection so I won't take up a date on the Advent calendar, but still:

    You say you want to get in on some cryptocurrency before the fad is all over? Okay then, here's the next best thing: Krypto-Currency! Just print out this photo, write any currency denomination you'd like on it with a black Sharpie, and PRESTO! You've got some Krypto-Currency!

    (And if you don't know that Krypto has been the name of Superman's super-dog since sometime in the 1950s, let me remind you that Google is everybody's friend.) Happy Holidays and don't say I never gave you anything...

    For 17 December.

    From earlier this month, I enjoyed the almost 2 hour holiday discussion of Bond. Especially for the combination of opinions with an entertaining radio drama fusion of Bond with A Christmas Carol woven through it. Didn't agree at all with the mostly negative opinions on NTTD shared toward the end, but didn't mind in the slightest how they shared it.

    Bless their hearts!


    Really, 007! A Christmas Carol (1:54:53)

    I won't spoil it here but there was one Bond-themed cracker joke that absolutely slayed me.

    We've witnessed Christmas references in such films as MR, TWINE and several others - most notably in Q scenes - and here's another one. That's right, on this 20th day of the month I'd like to share with you all the little known (or perhaps unknown?) Chrissy nod in the 20th Bond film celebrating its 20th anniversary this very year.

    Everyones favourite film, Die Another Day, features a vintage Christmas-themed Philips advert promoting their (then) latest Philishave electric shaver - the first of its kind with two rotating cutting heads, and follow up to their famous 'egg' shaver released three years prior. Just one of many pioneering achievements for the brand and no doubt the perfect Christmas gift for dad or hubby back in 1951.

    The Philips poster can be seen in the abandoned station when Q demonstrates the Vanquish's auto shotguns. That's the Christmas advert on the far left:

    52575114756_daa05bda53_o.jpg

    What I have in my possession is a nice example of the shaver itself and original print ad from a 1953 magazine, the ad matching the one on screen:

    52575665678_d2462c8bde_o.png

    DAD may not be a 'Christmas film', but any film referencing Christmas is a good one in my book!

    Just wanted to flutter in and wish everyone on this delightful little island community (have any of you earned parole yet?) a very merry Christmas and all the very best for 2023. I may not stop by as often as I used to but that doesn’t mean I don’t still think about you guys and all the fun that goes on in these hallowed pages. I do keep having a flick through from time to time and I’m relieved to see no one’s deleted little old Max yet! Keep safe, take care and enjoy a damn good Rogering in this little advent calendar contribution! ☺️🎄

    That was A LOT of Rodgering there @Max_The_Parrot!



    Very very nice @QBranch. For every Tom, Dick, and Harry. And John and George and Charles and Bob.

    And very very subtle (even unknown as you said) DAD product placement on the part of Philips I guess.
