    I too watch the James Bond films when I am on my own, but this is difficult as we have only one television so I have to do it 'carefully' and time my actions so that I can do so without causing arguments :))

    Having tried it several times, I can report that it is indeed no fun to watch the films with someone who tut tuts and says 'this is rubbish!' etc all the way through!

    I actually meant that AJB was being very slow to load pages etc.

    Sadly this is the case at the moment. The problem does come and go, but it is very irritating and I'm sure it is costing us posts and viewings which I take it is what N24 means by saying there are people he misses. Well, me too and I hope they return.
    SiCo is aware of the situation and has plans to improve it.

    Been meaning to ask this, since the comeback episode went live. What does everyone think of James Bond Radio's new format?

    I thought the episode with Brian Dobson and Tom Sears talking about Piz Gloria and the 50th anniversary of OMHSS was interesting.

    Not sat through an entire episode yet. But is the interactive aspect of the podcast still there? Are people still able to leave messages?

    The rotating of the co hosts is a good idea.

    I'm intrigued about this week's episode of JBR.
    Have you ever heard of the Emancipation Proclamation?"

    JBR is perhaps the most popular James Bond fan podcast. You have hours of geeky fun in front of you :007) :D

    Thank you Number24.

    I tried to post this earlier but AJB was so slow that I gave up 8-)

    I have got something called a 'Q Card'. Die Another Day interactive CD -Rom. It looks like a CD (with the hole in the middle) but is the size and shape of a credit card. Has any body heard of this? Is it a novelty or can I put it in my computer? I don't wan't to try it until I know that it will not hurt anything.

    Thank you.

    It seems the "Q card" is the CD provided with the 1:18 cars at the time ...
    I have some but never used 'em ...

    Thank you for this. I found the Q card at a car boot sale. I bought it for twenty pence!

    I'm impressed by the brave civilians who stopped the terrorist in London. I'm particularely impressed by the man who fought the terrorist uising a the tusk of a narwhale. Of cource lots of Norwegians walk around town carrying narwhale tusks, but I had no idea Englishmen do too :D

    Apparently they'd been on display on the walls of the building, and the Heroes just
    ripped them off the walls to use as weapons. -{

    Everytime I watch SPECTRE, One minor annoyance I have ( This is probably only me ) The
    Butler who holds the silver tray to take Bond's gun, always reminds me of the comedian

    The government conservative (well, everything is relative), so they want to privatize things. Lately they let a Swedish company fly ambulance planes in northern Norway. It did not go well. One thing is that their planes aren't up to the rough conditions, neither are the personell. A doctor resigned, saying: "I'd rather work in a war zone!" :p

    There was a good show today on BBC2 about the career of Sean Connery, it featured many interviews with him, a lot of which were filmed at the time of the Bond films (including NSNA). I hope some of you managed to see it.

    Can I take the opportunity to with you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy and peaceful New Year.
  • JoshuaJoshua Posts: 1,138MI6 Agent
    I just looked on youtube and here the show is!

    'Talking Pictures' today featured the life and films of Roger Moore. It was a special hour of television. I hope others got to see it. It was followed by 'Escape To Athena'.

    I have looked on youtube but cannot find the documentary. I think it will be on iplayer though (but I don't have that so can not confirm)

    This evening I will be watching 'Live And Let Die' as a tribute to Roger. I must wait until my wife is at work though!

    :)) I think we all end up watching them by ourselves.

    Former Nissan-Renault-Mitsubishi boss Carlos Ghosn has escaped custody in Japan:

    Carlos Ghosn reportedly fled his Japanese home in a musical instrument case, in an audacious Hollywood movie-style escape masterminded by his wife with the assistance of a Gregorian music band and a team of ex-special forces officers.

    I really hope the musical instrumental case was for a cello …. :007)

    Our Royal Family has just lost a Prince, ...... I blame an American :p




    I'll miss Andrew, as he'll miss Jeffrey Epstein ;) You were all expecting
    a Harry and Meghan joke.

    For once I actually don't blame an American. I think his mother's death made an enormous mark on Prince Harry and he fears his wife will be a victim of the media attention too. That's why he's distanceing himself and Megan from the royal family and moving to Canada.
    It's also possible the roumors that the royal family hasn't responded as well as they should have done to getting a dark-skinned American family member are true.
