I've just arrived home from Jamaica. Unfortunately I wasn't there on holiday but I did manage a small Bond related excursion to (past) Goldeneye while I was there which I intend to open a thread on.
Don't tease I just finished reading 'Goldeneye' by Matthew Parker which is an excellent read by the way. Although I'm not sure what you mean by 'past' Goldeneye.
Very interested to see/hear how Goldeneye is these days; the atmosphere, decor etc and if you happened to bump in to Chris Blackwell - yes, I love my reggae music -{

Hi, my name is Steve from California, home of the Drax Estate. I've been a Bond fan since I was 6 when I dressed up as Jaws for Halloween. This is the first time partaken in an internet chat site like this but I can't contain my desire to talk bout Bond any longer. I don't know many Bond fanatics in my area, and my wife is getting a little irritated with me babbling on about Bond movies. Lately I've been listening to all of the James Bond Radio podcasts and that made me realize there are a lot of Band fans out there. I hope to make some friends, but I have a family so the time I have to spend here will be limited. My favorite Bond movie is Moonraker, with, TSWLM, FRWL, Goldfinger, and DAF close behind. My favorite book is Goldfinger, but I haven't read many of them. I plan to soon. My favorite Bond is Sir Roger, but I love all of them. I can't say I have a least favorite. The only Bond locations I've ever been to were the Whyte House in Vegas, and The Golden Gate Bridge. The only Bond related celebrity I've ever met was Richard Kiel at a nerd convention. Also I love any John Barry music. Sorry about the user name. I was trying to be clever but it's a little too long.
This is MR-9 from Bangladesh!! A good fan of James Bond movies. My first encounter with 007 was FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE at a local theater but as far I can recall it was terribly cut to make it short & feature along with some other action film X-( . Like most you guys, I also grew up watching Bond movies and love almost every one of them! My most favorites are From Russia with Love, The Spy who Loved Me, The Living Daylights, GoldenEye and Casino Royale.
Married & father of a beautiful little girl who is just now 1 & half year old.
Anyway, like to let you know that my nick "MR-9" is actually the code name of Masud Rana...the Bangladeshi James Bond!! Masud Rana is a very popular and most longest (& still) running series in our country that started back in 1966. Though the character & many of the major stories mainly inspired by Ian Fleming's original James Bond series & movies but later gradually expanded widely; from Alistair MacLean's thrillers to different western spy thrillers as well as it adapted foreign cross genre action novels, stories and even sometimes straight from Hollywood movies also. If you like you can find more details in this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masud_Rana.
I've already introduced myself but I feel the urge ) to tell you how refreshing it is to read all the positive stuff about the various James Bond movies and the actors. And interesting too.
I really needed that dose of positivity and I am glad to be here. The respect that people have for each other is delightful.
I also like these emoticons -{ :007) I sure will use them a lot )
Hope that wasn't too much schmoozing ) Jason

^ no that's fine )
You'll get plenty of diverse opinions here, both positive and negative - but I find most people try and explain why it's a 'negative' for them...
As for respect...on the whole it's good...but can get tricky at times

They're our life
"Some people think Bond is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that."
"If Blofeld was playing down the bottom of my garden, I'd draw the curtains."
As Blofeld might have said ....
" If you are first you are first. If you are second you are nothing."
His "Garden of Death" if you will.
"Greatness From Small Beginnings."
I might even have the time to post something every now and then between viewings of Spectre (seen it six times already)
Yours, Jason
I think I know you from MI6.
Your avatar is spectacular by the way, such niceness
Indeed - I hope you enjoy your time here. It's a great site and the people are nice.
Don't tease
