  • I wonder if ISIS or its affiliates are behind this? In the case of the UK, our security services and specialist police departments will be hard at work tracking down the culprits, and I'm sure similar operations will be in full swing in other countr…

    in Worst Bond Movie Comment by stag May 2017
  • I'll never stop being a Bond fan - but a fan of the celluloid Bond is another story. After SP I decided I wouldn't watch any more. My reason? The direction the franchise has taken means - to me at least - that he has just become another action hero.…
    in What is your breaking point that would make you stop being a Bond fan. Comment by stag May 2017
  • Given how the topic has turned to religion, I thought this quote by Sean Connery to be rather apt: "Laughter kills fear, and without fear there can be no faith. For without fear of the devil there is no need for God."

  • I own a vintage Omega. No Bond connection, but a nice watch nonetheless.

  • I watched SP for the second time only the other day. I was as unimpressed as the first time round.

  • The Rover I am familiar with is the SD1. These were delivered to the main dealer, who would do the work I detailed above. From memory, I think it used to take between five and ten working days to bring them up to spec for Traffic duties. They would …

  • Another thing to remember about the police in the 1970's is the comms systems which were employed. When I joined we used the 'Burndept' personal radios. They were big blue things. All radio traffic was broadcast on the FM wavelength, which meant any…

  • Just two other points. Watching 'The Sweeney' car chases, you will note the sirens. Personally I feel they remain far superior to the current generation of 'rise/fall' sirens. Then it was two air horns which - when activated - blasted out a tremendo…

  • Well I do like watching shows set in that era as it is of my day. The sad thing is I can name all the different types of cars featured.

  • Although I remember it from first time around, I have only just started watching the show. Sorry to burst bubbles, but It is merely an exaggeration of how things were. Firearms carried on a routine basis? No. 'Robust' attitudes towards villains? Yes…

  • The EU a beacon of light? Try replacing the 'ligh' with 'shy' and you're nearer the mark! In ten years time, when people see what is happening in a federalised Europe, they will be glad that we removed ourselves.
