@Birdleson, are you referring to the "Bond Films by..." thread? It has become a bit of a monster :P
Doubling? He could theoretically be tripling it or even more. There are professional gamblers who haven't worked a day in their lives and just live off of poker winnings. The movie Rounders (1998) with Matt Damon and Edward Norton (one of my favorite films from the 90s btw) does an excellent job of showing the lives of grinders and how they basically just play poker for a living.
Thank you for the question, though.
And Rounders wasn't exactly a documentary. It had the same relationship to actual poker as Bond does to real life espionage.

Did they launch one of the road cars of the pier?
I never said it was a documentary. I merely said that it does a pretty good job of getting inside a gambler's head. Is it romanticized? Ofcourse, but that's Hollywood.
"nteresting modifications made to '3 SMF' include a special factory-fitted clutch with lighter 'push', an Icelert (fitted by the factory prior to a trip to Moscow in the 1960s), an engine vacuum gauge and a thermostatically activated overheating alert. Sold strictly as viewed, this potentially most rewarding DB4 restoration project is offered with copy old-style logbook and Swansea V5. "

Apparently in the novelisation of GE John Gardner mentions the DB5 is Bond's personal car, but I cannot find that. Where is it?
What exactly does "Member, Warned (1)" mean?
@PropertyOfALady what did you do! lol I've never seen you post anything that'd get you a warning I don't think.
Also, I read all of the Fleming books on Kindle; are there any continuation novels worth getting in book form for neat hardcover art?
Who sends Bond the playing card when he is San Monique that exposes Rosie as a traitor?
I believe either Solitaire or Felix. This is one of the questions in the "Bondiverse" (yes, I made that up) that doesn't really have a clear answer.
No idea, but today it is a four and a half hours travel.
Apparently in the novelisation of GE John Gardner mentions the DB5 is Bond's personal car, but I cannot find that in the Kindle version. Is it only in the actual copy?
See http://jamesbond.wikia.com/wiki/Aston_Martin_DB5
"Although its origins are not mentioned on screen, the novelization of GoldenEye states that Bond purchased this DB5 as his own personal vehicle."
Yet . . . it took Bond and Tatiana 12 to 15 hours to travel from Istanbul to near the Yugoslav-Italian border by the Orient Express in 1963. Odd.
Is she genuinely not on his side at that point, or putting on a show for Kananga's goons, or giving Bond a deliberate chance to escape?
