    Merry Christmas all,

    I just signed up this week for AJB after lurking here anonymously. Like most people here, I grew up reading Ian Fleming's novels, watching every Bond movie, and visited the London Film Museum. I started off my Bond collection last year with The Royale Doulton Bulldog, but this was the first year that I started to actively seek out clothing from the movies. I just purchased the Sunspel Riviera Polo and my Royale Filmwear Peacoat is waiting for me at a relative's house. Could not have started this mild obsession without AJB, JBE, and JBL.

    Thank you

    Hello everyone,
    I decided to register to this website after reading loads of topics in the previous months and I finally pulled the trigger today. Since the beginning of 2015 I started getting interested in the Bond movies after seeing the middle of Tomorrow Never Dies (the BMW chase) on TV [which is the earliest memory that I had of the Bond movies] and decided that I should watch the entire series. I never formally watched each and everyone of the movies, and it was never at a certain order (eg. from "Thunderball" to "Octopussy"). I haven't watched NSNA and I will probably "never" will. I love each and every one of the movies and I think that they all bring something cool and unique to the table. My favorite Bond actor would have to be Sean Connery, but my favorite Bond would have to be Timothy Dalton's one, with Craig being a close second. I have read the Classic Bond Library version of Casino Royale, and skipped to Diamonds Are Forever this past December. You can also usually find me on GoldenEye: Source on Fridays and Saturdays, if you're into that sort of stuff. A seemingly unpopular opinion would have to be that I really, really enjoyed SPECTRE. I have a YouTube channel called "Bond and Beyond" (taken from the trailer of The Spy Who Loved Me) and I'll be trying to do a Bond related video at least once a month. I have already reviewed Casino Royale and The World Is Not Enough. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGzS_tgMhqWmTdsDJfxdbIg I look forward to meeting all of you and spending more time on this forum.
    Cheers!

    Brilliant. About my YouTube channel, I'm planning on making a small video right around the middle of January which won't be a full scale review. I will be making a SPECTRE review in February.

    Good to see you, Mr Blackleiter, things have been awfully dull around here.... Now you're on this, I hope we're going to see some gratuitous sex and violence!
