Christmas is over and it's bad news. :)) ( not really, I hope everyone has a happy long life ) :D but ....

What would you list as your Bond bucket list ? Any location you'd really like to visit.
any actor or director, technician or musician you'd like to meet ?
Any stunt you'd like to do, from surfing to skydiving ?

I have a few, someday I'd love to do a skydive ( strapped to an instructor, I'm not dying alone ) :))
Drive a DB5, as I do know a guy with one. I must ask him some day ( db6, to be exact )
Visit Piz Gloria, maybe because it's in so much if OHMSS but I love it as a location.

So any thoughts from members ?

    I have now googled the term 'bucket list' and am now ready to post my answer :))
    Piz Gloria is also on my list. So is the Orient Express and Octopussy's Island. Goldeneye isn't really a movie location, but I would like to go there. I would like to meet the two Bond producers to talk James Bond with them. Peter Lamont would also be interesting because of his long history with Bond and other movies, but also because I find art and arcitecture interesting. Eva Green seems like an interesting person in a very beautiful body, so I would love to meet her. Christopher Lee seems like the perfect dinner guest with fantastic anecdotes about pretty much anything.

    If skiing in the mountains is a stunt, I've allready done that. It's thrilling, but I'm not nearly as good a skier as some of my friends. I can't really think of other stunts I'd enjoy performing.

    :)) Some nice choices.

    Marry Catarina Murino, own a DBS, stay a few weeks at the Ocean Club. For starters.

    I'd really like to meet Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli and talk to them about the legacy that they are a huge part of, but I doubt that'll ever happen. I'd also love to be an extra :)
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    To be an extra would be fantastic, although when Michael and Barbara get a look at Me they'd be all over
    Me with the " Please be Bond, your Perfect " or " I see now ONLY YOU can be Bond " that sort of thing. :))

    I'm an avid Skiier and go with my dad and the rest of the family every year. I'm still hoping he'll take me to Piz Gloria one day! To be able to ski there with the OHMSS theme tune blasting from my ipod would be fantastic. -{

    I can just see the newspapers now:TP's interpretation is definitely the closest ever to Fleming :)

    I'd love to get DBS round a track for a day.
    What makes you think this is my first time?

    Funny, you're not the first to point that out. I've pointed it out to people several times. :))

    Great topic btw, TP. -{

    On my bucket list are to visit Nassau and the Thunderball locations, and to go scuba diving there (Our correspondent Donald Grant's article on doing this was brilliant). I'd also love to visit its beaches and casino, as well as the One and Only Ocean Club from Casino Royale.

    I'd also love to try a jet- pack. I did book up a Thames water jet-pack experience last year but the company discontinued it before I got the chance to arrange a date, sadly :#

    Guess otherwise I'd love to try skiing (never tried it!) and to visit Piz Gloria. And o drive an Aston, like many of us here!

    I think everybody would love to spend a day racing around in an Aston.

    In no particular order:

    1) Sod driving an Aston, I want to OWN an Aston.

    2) Stay in Fleming's cottage at Goldeneye for a week.

    3) Own a Chelsea house like the one Fleming describes as Bond's.

    4) Do the Verzasca bungee jump from Goldeneye.

    Piz Gloria was top of my list, and I went there in 2007!

    I guess currently at the top of the list, location-wise, is the Thunderball locations in the Bahamas. I'd also like to visit Jamaica and see some of the Dr. No and LALD locations, as well as visiting Goldeneye.

    I've never been skiing, so this is probably going to be a really stupid question ( it's never
    stopped me before :)) ) so, ..........
    Can you ski at night at piz Gloria, or at least a bit dark to get the Bond feel ? Or is it only
    in daylight.

  • HigginsHiggins GermanyPosts: 16,619MI6 Agent
    You could - but it won't be officially allowed and highly risky.

    First of all the night in the mountains can be f*cking dark, so you may not see anything.
    Secondly there won't be anyone to rescue you

    Some skiing areas offer illuminated night skiing, but not from the top of Schilthorn, I am afraid.

    And the skiing scenes in the movie have been shot on daylight and darkened by filters/aftermaths btw.

    Honestly say I have never been skiing unfortunately and now have no chance now that I'm settled down as my missus can't stand the snow.

    Hmm Bond bucket list is difficult indeed, Thunderball locations would be cool, along with James Bond Island and countless other places (I really need to stop going to f%&king Disney on my vacations - when the kids grow up lol)

    Don't let that stop you. My dad never takes my mum on the skiing holidays! She gets piece and quiet and we get a nice holiday away for a week. As Bondtoys will surely confirm, there is nothing like racing down the slopes listening to a Bond soundtrack while pretending you're being chased by Blofelds henchmen (or in my case my dad and my sister). :))

    I think you will find that Disney will only employ people up to 5 ft 4 to work as Mickey :p :D

    1) buy DC a drink

    2) appear as a techy extra in a Q lab scene

    3) meet Mina.... And verushca. ;%

    4) have a look inside vauxhall cross

    5) make something for Barbara.

    As pretty much any of those are nigh on impossible I think I'd settle for just one of them. :))
