  • My deepest sympathies to all those affected by this cowardly attack. Whilst not wishing to enter into the debate on this specific incident or the gun control issue, (principally because it is divorced from the terrorism matter) I must say I find it …

  • @BMW_with_missiles it was the road car. I just always called it Wet Nellie, I guess technically it's not. It was used in the film though. It was only on show, roped off and no punters were allowed to sit in it but I was at the event via work so mana…
  • This sounds interesting. As I'm sure you're aware of the legalities of selling this book outside Canada in areas where the copyright still stands, how do you intend to get round it?
  • Pre fight but, in the Barrelhead where Dario's henchman, who sits with him at the table to try and stare Bond out, looked a very menacing character (he would have certainly un-nerved me!), he doesn't faze 007. I just thought that was a neat build up…

  • Cowboys Vs Aliens. I'm not a fan of such things and only watched it out of curiosity because DC was in it. Despite my prejudices regarding Sci Fi, I actually enjoyed it.
  • To ostracise or otherwise blame an entire community for the acts of extremist lunatics is wrong. It is like the white population all being linked to some far right group. It's illogical and creates far more problems than it could ever hope to solve.…

  • I have just invested in a 50" TV for my lair (stepping up from a 20"). To celebrate I watched LALD, as it was the very first 007 film I saw at the cinema, and the one which turned me onto the franchise.
  • Don't get me started! There is a TV show called 'Room 101' in the UK. If I appeared it would be twelve hours long (and I'd insist on being the only guest so as not to waste time!). There used to be another show called 'Grumpy Old Men'. Just to k…

  • Although I enjoy reading, the 007 audiobooks have become my favourite method of indulging in Fleming's works. I'm just about to start listening to 'OHMSS'.
  • I wonder if any MI6 (the forum I mean) members have attempted to re-edit any of the films to personalise then in some way?

  • I thought this might interest fans of Pertwee's Who. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BESSIE-DR-WHO-CAR-SIVA-EDWARDIAN-/263213048157?hash=item3d48b8615d:g:wEYAAOSwextZvpMD
  • My wife just told me that the terrorist scumbag and a friend who has latterly been arrested are 'refugees' who are being fostered. One is eighteen, the other twenty one?! Is this true?

  • Fine. Let's start with the terrorists and terrorist enablers. We'll pause for an assessment of the situation after that. Now it's wrong to complain about terrorist incidents?! Says it all doesn't it?!
