Things we have in common with Bond?

Maybe it's just me, but when I'm reading the novels or watching the films, if something comes up that I have in common with Bond, I'm secretly pretty chuffed. Sadly in my case these are limited :)) but here goes:

We are the same height
My father was Scots by birth (my mum wasn't Swiss though :# )
I work in London with occasional overseas trips ( though I'm not what you'd call a licenced troubleshooter :) )
We pretty much like the same food and drink ( just not the same quantities :o )

What do you guys have in common with Bond?

    I eat the same Breakfast as him (Bacon, Eggs, Toast and Coffee) That's how far the Similarities go :#

    Sadly not much :
    I hate coffee, strong tea for me.
    Love a bath, hate a shower.
    Don't drink, and drive sensibly. :#

    I dress well, eat well, know enough about the finer things to bluff my way through. I can be witty and generally bored with the everyday of life and show it. I like fast cars and know how to drive them. I have enough money to be very comfortable, but I don't feel the need to be excessive in wealth. My long-term, meaningful relationships turn out disastrous.

    I've never really seen myself in motion from behind (or much any other view, for that matter), but when Casino Royale came out, people kept telling me how much my body language is like Craig's (or vice versa), especially when he enters the Bermuda hotel. Apparently, we share a similar posture and spring in our step. I was told when Bond runs out to the Aston Martin to go after Vesper, he and I look alike except for the hair color (mine is almost black, though there is now gray showing through).

    We both married very strong, intelligent, beautiful women. Fortunately for me, my wife is still around! (Mrs. Blackleiter approves of this message!) :D

    Seeing these movies early on probably had a huge influence on me. Such that I try to be like Bond as much as possible. But I substitute many things. I think for the better. I drink cappuccino or Cuban coffee over standard coffee. But I want to find a good standard coffee. I want to find that jam too. I thought you guys would have found it by now.

    No smoking. Never tried, never will. It was always like adult chewing gum to me but it was obvious the damage it causes. I don't mess with girls that smoke either. It's stupid to me.

    I want to drive an Aston Martin but will probably never own a modern one because I don't like the current design direction. But I like "hard driving" as Dalton said in that one old interview.

    My type in women is the same.

    I like water sports. I used to play water polo.

    I do the pushups and situps daily.

    I substitute Turkey Bacon on this one. No more pork for me.

    We're both car enthusiasts, and have a taste for fine food.

    But that's about it. I'm way shorter (172cm), uglier and far less fit than Bond (yes, even the chain smoking, heavy drinking literary Bond).

    I have dark hair and blue/grey eyes and I'm roughly the same height and weight as most Bond actors. I speak English and speak French and German very badly. that's it, I guess ...

    I have a tendency of making bad puns a la Moore. :))

    I try to act like Connery when it comes to women, i don't pull it off just yet but practice makes perfect. :)

    During WWII some SOE agents were padeling canoes around in Oslo harbour at night, placing limpet mines on German ships. At one time a guard showed up right over their heads, unbuttoned his trousers and urinated right on one of the agents. This never happens to Bond! :))
