    It’s my birthday so we went to see Temple of Doom. I’ve never seen it at the cinema before and it was terrific.

    Excellent choice, @mtm. It's my favourite Indy film. It also has my favourite Williams score.

    And a happy B-day to you.

    Happy birthday to you @mtm
    Any Indy film on the big screen is worth it.
    But 80’s Indy is a must.

    A very belated happy anniversary AND B-day to my friend @DarthDimi and a slightly less but still very belated happy birhday to @mtm ! That Indy film in the cinema must've been memorable. I only saw Top Gun (yes, the original) in the cinema 30 years after it's release and I enjoyed it very much, would definately go to the old Indy's as well!

    It was nineteen (19) years ago today that I saw Daniel Craig in a boat, hurtling down the river Thames to be introduced to the world as the next James Bond.
    I had for several months beforehand been reading the posts on a James Bond forum called Keeping The British End Up, enjoying the banter and discussion of likeminded Bond fans.
    With the start of a new Bond era with Daniel Craig, I decided to sign up to KTBEU and become a member. Posting seldomly at first, it wasn't long before I found my voice and contributed on a daily basis.
    Over the years I've found many friends and had some truly wonderful times interacting with people who share a love of this character James Bond.
    The transition from KTBEU to MI6 Community saw a large slew of fans vacate the forums, but a new group of fans have moved in to continue making these forums a place that I still enjoy visiting first thing in the morning, and when I arrive home from work.
    Sure, we have our ups and downs, it wouldn't be normal if we didn't, but I wouldn't want to post my thoughts on James Bond anywhere else.

    Cheers all.

    And what a fine member you are, @Benny. We both started small around the same time... and look at where we are now: sipping drinks with the Broccolis, attending parties with David Arnold, Daniel Craig and John Glen, and consulting the producers on where to take the story of Bond next. (I love your idea of an Octopussy sequel set in Australia quite a bit, by the way.) Anyway, it's a joy to be a part of this beautiful place with you. Happy anniversary, mate.

    Our man in Ja... Perth, the guy who wanted an island full of women but ended up on another continent. Bennster, congrats on again staying a year ahead of me on your KTBEU/community anniversary! You know you're really getting old when you're not saying you're getting old anymore...

    But it does have it's perks, as @Darth pointed out.

    My wife and I travelled to London for the (except Royals) more-or-less general premiere performance of SF on Leicester Square, on Friday, 26 October 2012. That was a day before my 56th birthday, which we also sort of celebrated in London. So I'm ready to accept further congratulations (or fake sympathy) on the coming Sunday :-).

    You are a young man, sir. Do not let anyone convince you otherwise. A happy birthday, indeed. It is good having you here with us. The voice of reason behind the username that references the craziest character in Bond history. 😉

    Thank you. It's what keeps me alive. And don't you dare answer with the next line from the movie. :D

    Always liked Clifton James' portrayal of Pepper in both his appearances. Some may resent his part in both movie titles, view him as an unnecessary distraction et cetera, but he brings a certain vibrancy to the screen, a persona quite unlike many others throughout the entire series. I actually prefer his Golden Gun appearances over LALD and he gets less screen time for it, but this time it's played entirely for humor and it actually works. A great character, both titles are better and improved for his inclusion.

    I must admit that I'm not even THAT great a fan of the character I picked my screen name from, and I think he makes more sense in LALD (although...a "sheriff" being part of state police...? hmmm...) than his oh-so-coincidental reappearance in TMWTGG. That being said, I chose the name a long time ago (say about 25 years) on another board as a fallback option. I had planned to use the name Scaramanga, but that had already been taken. So Jaydubya was the next character that came to my mind, and it's been Jaydubya ever since.

    Happy anniversary, @Dragonpol. The forum would be less without you proudly championing all things Gardner:Bond.



    I'm a few months late, but I hit my 19th anniversary here back in July.

    Almost 13 and a half years for me now. I can't believe where the time's gone, but also how I always manage to miss my anniversary when it's actually here!
