You know you're a Bond fan when, .....................

Instead of Bond, use your favourite sports team. Would you really want
To be stuck on the bus. With the guy always running your team down ?
Or would you be trying to sit with your mates and " big up" the team.
I'm guessing it has more to do with Positive and Negative people.
I always see the glass half full

"My name's Thunderpussy and I'm a Bondaholic !"

I simply love all things Bond regardless of what they are
and as a fanatic there is NOTHING wrong with these 23 soon to be 24 films! I love them
so for me there is no flat dialogue, no mishaps or whatsoever!sadly this forum is full of threads that only focus on (IMO non-existent) errors! I've often asked myself why some members on here consider themselves a fan?! ?:)
to put it down in a very simple way: watch the Bond movies and simply just enjoy them, life is hard enough

When you own half the stuff on the Memorabalia forum, but you're missing all your furniture and your wife left you because the kids are hungry.

You know you're a fan when you spend more time discussing positive aspects of the world of Bond rather than the (perceived) negative ones.

Thunderpussy

... and you know you're a Bond fan, when you actually care about this stuff.

Any Dalton confession to make, Bruce Lee?

Yes, I had no love for Dalton (based only on hazy decades-old memories of seeing each film only once, and BEFORE I had read the novels) when I first joined here, and voiced it. I was swiftly pummeled with suggestions that he rocked & that I needed to try them again, for which I will be forever grateful to this community. My tune changed faster than a slide whistle. )

You know you're a Bond fan when...

-You spend an unhealthy amount of time daydreaming about the Bond films.

-You walk into a liquor store, and ask a staff member the whereabouts of the gin, vodka and vermouth. :v

-You wish you owned your own white Lotus Esprit, with special submarine capabilities. -{

-You wish you owned your own Acrostar Mini-Jet. B-)

-You wish you owned your own gyrocopter, like Little Nellie.

-You wish you owned your own "special" yacht, like the Disco Volante.

-You wish you owned a place (exactly) like Atlantis. B-) -{

-You know who was the SECOND actor to have played James Bond in an official Bond film.

-You walk into an electrical retailer, eager to buy a number of Bond films on DVD or Blu Ray.

-You spend countless hours on AJB. )

You get pissed off when Lazenby is ignored in Bond themed talk shows.

HatThrowingHenchman

...when you think that non-Bond fans don't simply own the right to watch these movies

HatThrowingHenchman

...when you see/hear/read a report about 007 and the writers got the facts wrong
and you just think: there's a special place in hell for you

I do spend a lot of time on AJB, but I don't post that often.
Does it still count?

DutchJamesBondFan

You send angry tweets to the paper when they make mistakes in Bond related articles!
Happend twice over here.

I read so much misinformation about James Bond's clothing that I started my own website! The light grey three-piece suit in Goldfinger is not sharkskin! Sean Connery's suits never had flat front trousers!

You know you're a Bond fan when you can't help but quietly pretend to be Bond EVERY TIME you wear a suit.

Your website is fantastic! I think I first came across the article on the fashion of LTK

When you get excited seeing Bond alumni in other movies and tv shows

Dutchfinger

When a casual Bond fan asks you: "So, this new movie SPECTRE, what does it stand for anyway?"

And you go in Dr. No mode: "Special Excecutive for Counter Intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge - Extortion" Without breaking a sweat.

(Actually happened to me today :P )

... Sitting in a shopping centre, watching the shopkeepers closing up
As the electric shutters descend you say to yourself ..
" We are now completely impregnable "
( if you say it out loud, people get up from the bench and walk away )
and every Bald bloke you see, is a potential. Blofeld. )

When I actually cried. Broke down in tears when it came out thar Brosnan would no longer be Bond. I was 10. But felt my heart break for the first time.

Thunderpussy

I can understand that deep " Fandom" eric7964 -{ .
I even posted recently that perhaps people should try and remember
that you may not like a certain actor, but to the person you're talking to
He may be a childhood hero. So perhaps hold back on some of the nastier
comments.
By the way Eric you might like to introduce yourself here.

Today on the street I saw a flattened 20 players blue cigarette packet, and
Immediately thought of Domino's story about it to Bond in the novel Thunderball.
