Yeah I've not been able to restrain myself very well. I finished up a book on Monday so I read a few pages on Tuesday and a good bit yesterday before finally stopping. I'm sure I'll manage to have it done by the weekend either way.
Likewise. But who knows, I may get some Fleming in in the lead up to B25. I'll shoot in and out.
Dan Stevens had not read CR before his audiobook reading.
Can anybody explain this paragraph on page 18 for me?
Later, a triumphant Head of S. said to his Number Two: ‘We nearly cooked ourselves with that last paragraph. He said it was subversion and blackmail. He got pretty sharp about it. Anyway, he approves.
What does "cooked ourselves" mean?
And a bit later, why does Mathis wish the Muntzes to be in agony? I never understood this section, to be honest.
For those curious, this is Bond's Bentley:
Any French people in the club who would be willing to fully translate ‘Mais n’enculons pas des mouches'?
Never pictured her as Moneypenny, but it s impossible not to picture Bernard Lee as M.
The Muntzes have wired Bond's room so they can listen in to his conversation through headphones in their room above. Mathis plans to deafen them with a blast of radio static, and serve them right!
I'm not French but I'm going to take an educated guess. My mum warned me once never to say 'cul', as in 'cul-de-sac', in France, because it was rude. In turn, my dad always referred to a cul-de-sac as a 'bag bum'.
'Mouche' is a fly, so I would suggest "let's not bugger flies". Sound advice.
EDIT: I'm certain of it now - forgot about the tidbit during Bond's torture where Le Chiffre mentions "your room was searched by four of my people," and Bond figures the Muntzes had a hand in it.
It's actually a crude phrase meaning let's not split hairs.
In this case, let's not f--- flies, I believe. (Now I realize @Agent_99 approximated that, I was working off my phone earlier.)
And I'll self-correct yet again, as I was right the first time (there's quite a few minor details I've forgotten about in CR): as Bond wakes up in the hospital post-torture and Mathis goes over the details of the operation with him, he notes that the Muntzes were indeed small fry hired for this instance and they'll get a few years in prison, at least.
