    I always liked that phrase from Fleming.

    That sounds nice. Which book was it?

    Sadly the BBC got there first. :)

    Lol. Yeah. But I think something was also named Skyfall before Bond. Seems it was a book or something.

    Yes, I've seen at least one science fiction novel called that. Think I might've even bought a copy of it at the time as a little curiosity. As we know, there's very little under the sun that's truly original, especially when it comes to titles.

    Exactly. I saw the book too. But I can't remember the plot. I was sort of browsing through it.

    I remember watching a Dr Who episode a few years back and was delighted to hear the local cave dwellers refer to a rock ceiling collapse as a 'skyfall'.

    Nor me. It looked like a fantasy or science fiction book. I bought it cheaply second hand a few years ago as a little curio.

    It is and it sounds exactly like something the presumably primitive inhabitants of the cave would say.

    It's probably what Kim Sherwood should have called her series.

    It's got me thinking... are there any corporate taglines associated with any of the fake Bond companies from the movies? "Tomorrow's News, Today" I guess is one.

    You may recall the thought repeated in the Casino Royale story, @ProfJoeButcher.


    pdf_a9e6de30-ced7-012d-7ad3-0050569439b1.jpg
    Casino Royale, Ian Fleming, 1953.
    Chapter 9 - The Game is Baccarat
    'I'm personal assistant to Head of S.' said Vesper. 'As it was his plan, he wanted his section to have a hand in the operation and he asked M if I could go. It seemed only to be a liaison job, so M said yes although he told my chief that you would be furious at being given a woman to work with.' She paused and when Bond said nothing continued: 'I had to meet Mathis in Paris and come down with him. I've got a friend who is a vendeuse with Dior and somehow she managed to borrow me this and the frock I was wearing this morning, otherwise I couldn't possibly have competed with all these people.' She made a gesture towards the room.

    'The office was very jealous although they didn't know what the job was. All they knew was that I was to work with a Double O. Of course you're our heroes. I was enchanted.'

    Bond frowned. 'It's not difficult to get a Double O number if you're prepared to kill people,' he said. 'That's all the meaning it has. It's nothing to be particularly proud of. I've got the corpses of a Japanese cipher expert in New York and a Norwegian double agent in Stockholm to thank for being a Double 0. Probably quite decent people. They just got caught up in the gale of the world like that Yugoslav that Tito bumped off. It's a confusing business but if it's one's profession, one does what one's told. How do you like the grated egg with your caviar?'
    Chapter 27 - The Bleeding Heart
    I can't tell you much to help you. The Paris number was Invalides 55200. I never met any of them in London. Everything was done through an accommodation address, a newsagent's at 450 Charing Cross Place.

    At our first dinner together you talked about that man in Yugoslavia who was found guilty of treason. He said: 'I was carried away by the gale of the world.' That's my only excuse. That, and for love of the man whose life I tried to save.

    My favorite Fleming phrase is "room-shaped room", but I don't think that would make for a great film title! :))

    I like both Bloodshot and Doubleshot. Maybe first movie, second movie, haha.

    The proverbial "Double Tap / Doubletap" is also on the table.
