I've been on here for a few weeks and really enjoyed it.
I'm recently retired and living on Mactan Island which is close to Cebu City in The Philippines.
My wife is Filipina and we have a young son. Over the last few years we have opened up some beauty salons and a boutique which my wife looks after while I enjoy life here doing nothing
I have family back in England - a daughter and 2 grandchildren.
I have been a Bond fan since I saw Dr No at the cinema way back when it was first released as a child. I actually haven't seen them for quite some time so I am planning to review them all soon and post my findings in the pros and cons threads. It will be interesting to see whether my tastes have changed and some of the movies rank higher or lower than on my present list.
Anyway it's been nice to join AJB and special thanks to Thunderpussy and Barbel who have both responded to my posts.
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
I've never properly introduced myself so here goes;
My name is Zoltan, born and raised in Toronto. First generation from parents born in ex-Yugoslavia. Recently found out that on my mother's side of the family I'm related to Dusan Popov. Most Bond fans will know who he is but for those that don't;
Married with two kids (19 & 15) and run my own business for the past 10 years. Before that I ran the family business for 11 years.
I've been a Bond fan since I can remember. Read all the novels in high school and would go to all the new Bond films when they'd come out. My first Bond film I ever saw in theatres was Octopussy.
My favorite Bond movie is probably Casino Royale. I really enjoy watching all of them though. Bought all of the movies on iTunes when they recently became available for download. Prior to that I owned on blu-ray all of DC's movies and a few of Connery's. After rewatching them all again (some numerous times now) I've actually grown fond of some that I dismissed previously. Notably Lazenby in OHMSS.
Only recently started to collect Bond related items and I'm really enjoying it. Currently I own the N. Peal mock sweater as seen in the Spectre teasers, Billy Reid Peacoat from Skyfall, Persol and Tom Ford sunglasses from CR and SF. Purchased theatrical versions (double sided) of the posters from DC's last 3 movies. Will be getting them framed shortly where they will be hung on the wall of our family theatre.
I look forward to many more Bond memories in the coming years.

Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
Absolutely knackered, but it's good to be back.
