Am I in the minority by declaring that I enjoyed NTTD? TBH I wasn't expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised. Of course it wasn't flawless, but I thought it a fitting ending to the Craig era (though where the character goes from here is anyon…

Apart from the Godfather trilogy (which I can't really count as I never made it to the end of the last one) As far as I recall, the only series of films I've watched in their entirety are the Bond movies.

Actors aside, there's quite a few politicians and leading figures on the international stage who'd fit the bill perfectly. Reading his biography, I always thought that Ian Fleming would have loved Robert Maxwell's back story and spotted the poten…

Having returned to the MI6 community after several years I'm slowly working my way through some of the topics. I get the impression that the forum isn't as active as it was when I left? Is that correct?

Though I could never have been considered a fan at the time, I've been listening to some of the music of Ian Dury and the Blockheads (the singles). In doing so I realise just how good they were.

I have a hardback copy of Trigger Mortis which I bought on the day it came out. It still sits there unread. I read the first two of the Gardner efforts but was unimpressed. IMO nothing can compare to the work if Fleming. Going back to 'last book…

Thank you for your kind words.

I don't know if anyone remembers me, but I'm a lapsed as opposed to new member. I haven't visited the site for a long time. My interest in Bond never waned it was personal matters which took over. Anyway, I hope to take some tentative steps to rejo…

I've never been one for pigeonholing myself. I’m just a Bond fan. That said, I like the Ian Fleming books more than the films and the earlier films more than the later efforts.

Thanks again. I don't want to bore people further with my personal problems so I'm going to cut off the topic.

@Thunderpussy. Thanks. I understand your point of view about 'pointless arguments'. @Fire_and_Ice_Returns. My sympathies. Anger is just one of the gamut of emotions and is natural. I had that and guilt in spades (still do). If I am being rational…

Hi everyone and thanks again for all your kind words, they really do mean a lot. Happy Christmas to all and I shall endeavour to return to MI6 in the coming year.

I must admit to not watching any Bond films for quite some time, though I intend to break with convention with a long overdue viewing of Casino Royale on TV this evening.

Paddy bashdown was Special Forces, having served as an officer with the SBS. He was also a member of SIS (MI6), joining that organisation after leaving the Marines. Here's his bio. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paddy_Ashdown

Well, I thought I'd swing by to if anyone did remember me. I am humbled by the response. I suffered great personal tragedy and am still in the process of grieving. It just meant that I lost all interest in things. As a result of all the kind words I…

Hello, I guess I won't be remembered, but I was fairly active on the forum some time ago. Although my interest in 007 has not diminished I found myself becoming disinterested in the internet as a whole. With that in mind I rarely log onto the web …

I don't think I've ever met anyone as cynical as myself. I wasn't born that way, but life and my dealings with lots of bad people across the years moulded me into that mindset. That said, I must point out that I have been genuinely surprised and to…

Thank you all for your comments. @Birdleson. No need to apologise, but thanks anyway. You didn't know the details. @Dragonpol. Indeed, it was you who introduced me to this site. I didn't even know it existed before you invited me to join. It's…

If anyone should be tested, then it's those with ambitions to enter politics.

BTW, thanks to everyone for their comments.

Hello all. I have been away from the forum for some time. It's been a tough few months for me. I have had neither the time nor inclination to even bother with my computer, let alone visit MI6. Things don't seem to be getting any better, but I though…

Thank you for your comments. All I wish to say is that I suffered a great personal loss. It is a tragedy from which I am struggling to recover - if indeed I ever will. Also @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7, thanks for the link. I'll repost there where my or…

I'm not sure if there's a going away/coming back thread. Anyway, on a personal level, it's been a tough few months for me. I have had neither the time nor inclination to even bother with my computer, let alone visit MI6. Things don't seem to be gett…

That some people feel the need to carry guns for 'self defence' says more about them than any perceived 'threat'?
