of all the guys on AJB we hope you all return home safe and sound .

of the novel is a superb villain. -{
As a teen I loved Moonraker, now I prefer the movies that if not closer to
Fleming, are at least closer to his spirit. -{

Yes, I'm a Fleming purist too and I agree about Sir Hugo Drax as being the best villain. Moonraker was the first Bond novel I ever read in 1997 though I did start buying them in 1995 when I was about 11.

Yes I love the Fleming books, in fact I hadn't read them in years and so in a way
of reconnecting with Bond I began to read them all again, this time in order. As
When I was buying them, I'd read them as soon as I got one. so was jumping
all over the time line.
I'd recommend reading them in order for anyone who wants to see how Bond's

Yes, I read them all over the timeline first and then read them in order in 2001-02 and then some of them after that on their own as well as plenty of essays and books on the novels (and films) but the novels are my chief love.

I've found as I've matured , I've come to appreciate the stories I hated
as a teen. QOS I can now really appreciate Fleming's writing style in these
Short stories. The same goes for The Hildebrand Rarity, a great stand alone
story. -{

Huh , I got the impression that Cleese is no longer able to do the silly walk due to age ?:)
Well , Zorin fell from 700 ft so he'd be screwed regardless of any nets......sad stories , was a little 5 yr girl who jumped there in '45 , sghould've had those nets up yrs ago
Even with nets it's gotta be painful to land on them.

just reporting what I read (but you could be right, probably why FRY is putting up the challenge
but my money is still on Cleese
Listening to a fasinating Documentary on bbc radio 4 Extra, about Christian "Card counters" who
made millions from casinos in America. They were know as the high rollers. There must be a film
in the making about this.

Caught a really funny show last night, hope to watch the second part tonight.
"A touch of cloth ", a comedy version of all those great detective shows like
Cracker and a touch of frost.
It's like a British " naked gun" loads of visual gags as well as a really funny script.
They even have a " free running " sequence which becomes more and more
Extreme it ends up as a gymnastics display.
Highly recommended if you catch it on the sky catch up service. I'll be watching it
Several times as there are so many jokes, you'll never get them all in one showing. )

Still wouldn't of helped Zorin :v
As for the nets, they'll take a couple of years to complete. Sadly, more lives will probably be lost before the completion.
