There's a lot of talent and humour in the advertising industry. I worked with them for quite a few years...and had a GREAT time.

Another sleepless night in Australia....

Hi Gerald, long time no post.

Hey there!

Absolutely true this: I could have been one of history's James Bonds myself back in 1980 but I turned down the offer of the role.

Admittedly it was just the Reliance Mutual Insurance Company Amateur Film Club of Tunbridge Wells - but there was no Aston Martin so I said no thanks

The original books are way different from the movies. Ian Fleming wrote 2 travelogue type books and a lot of material from them ended up in the novels. If you can get hold of them they're good reading.

He saw himself as the hero....James Bond. Having said that, Roger Moore was a funny bugger and a good choice to play Bond James Bond.

For you!

Have faith my friend soon you will be able to build your own Aston Martin in 1/8 scale-An exact duplicate of the car used in the movie.
(It's Agora who's going to release all the Bond cars from the First movie to the latest in scale 1/8)

Back to discuss Bond, James Bond

Hi Gerald and anyone else interested.....if you've read the Ian Fleming James Bond books you'll find this link very interesting. It's from Project Gutenberg and it's "Thrilling Cities" by Ian Fleming. Reading it you'll see where a lot of 007 material came from.

He's a good writer, lots of humour and understatement....:har: then :o then :oops: but always :arrgh!:

Nice. I was not aware of him before.

Great tune, and excellent editing......but I'll post it here and not the Music Thread, as I think it's more appropriate here.

"Feeling Good" - Charlie Green.

Not from a movie, but still very good....

^ Very interesting discovery - of course, Roger Moore had been famously playing Simon Templar in "The Saint" since 1962
