Sorry but that last hand... Nearly killed me.

Move your perfectly formed arse on here and post @R.Clemens or I'll come over to FB and have your ass.

Jason Stephen Bond will be away to London for two weeks.
Meanwhile at Jason's officers mansion...
Don't stand there panting, Tibbett. Start packing. Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. There is a reception at six. Yes, sir. So I need a white jacket and a black tie. Yes, sir. And if possible, a clean shirt. Yes, sir. Oh, my Lord, Tibbett! Look at the state of my clothes. - How on earth do you pack my bags? Sorry, sir. Oh, my Lord. What the devil's wrong with these shoes? - Were they wiped over with an oily rag? Terribly sorry, sir. You blasted well should be. I don't know how long you expect to remain in my employ...
...and before you say now "I'd hate to be his valet." remember it's difficult to find good help...
This is not the place to write this I know but i can not find the off topic chat section.
I forget his name but I would just like to thank the ajb member who told me about James Bond audio books. I tried to read Casino Royale but my poor reading of English let me down. I have been listening to the book read. I am not very far listening to the book but I am really enjoying it and now I can listen to the Ian Fleming 007 books! Thank you once again my friend.
I'm off to the Isle of Arran for a couple of days from tomorrow. The band play there often, but Bride of Barbel says she'd like to spend a few days there so off we go.
Hello, everybody; new Bond fan here. That is to say, I've been a Bond fan for a while and only thought to look for forum recently.
My first glimpse of James Bond was the opening sequence of FYEO, when I was a really, really little kid. I was so young, I didn't realize that the guy in the wheelchair was a really bad guy; all I knew was that I was freaked out by the helicopter sequence and shocked by what happened to the wheelchair-man.
A couple years later, the family caught Goldfinger playing on television, starting with the title sequence (missed the pre-credits sequence). It was one hellavu movie. But I was a bit clueless that there was a whole phenomenon. In my junior year of high school Goldeneye arrived, bringing with it an opening of awareness. I had never seen the gunbarrel opening, and had no idea this was how the movies start. GE started out in my head conceptually as James Bond: The Movie, but gradually over time I gained an understanding of the series and GE's place in the overall phenomenon.
I'm most familiar with the movies, but I've read Casino Royale and have a collection of the penguin editions with those cool, colorful retro covers (I really like those covers!). Casino Royale surprised me by how the literature world of bond was more of a 50's noir-thriller kind of thing; an impression I never got from the movies. I've been planning go further with the original Flemming books recently, in there series order. Although I can't explain why I haven't read more, I really liked Casino Royale and enjoyed Ian Flemming's prose style.
Welcome Desert Kris. Please note it's 'Fleming', not 'Flemming'. -{
Oops! I never noticed that before. I made a similar error with an actor's name on another forum, I never noticed that I was adding an extra letter. Thanks for pointing that out!
Welcome desert Kris, I'm sure you'll enjoy it here -{
Is it just me or does anyone else feel this thread is a bit like a bondaholics anonymous meeting, where new members stand up and introduce themselves with a short explanation of their addiction.
It was either that.....or the priesthood

Not to worry. It's a very common mistake! Welcome again. -{
