Octopussy complains to Bond: my name gets censored in all my letters to the British Isles. I hear a most malevolent Scotsman sits in his office censoring everything he can.
I'm not sure about that version. First of all I don't think one should refer to other movies quite so directly. The joke about Loise Lane in QoS worked better.
Perhaps the age joke should be:
sir James: "Are you more than half my age, Milady?"
Magda: "Barely, yes."
sir James: "Alas, but you will suffice."
The scenic route joke could be:
VJ: "The boarding house is a mere hour from here by horse."
sir James: "Very well. But only if we can ride past every notable locality in the country on our way there, shall we?"
Do you feel more in the mood to re-open the US election thread now?

I'm thinking about what the assassin on the island should throw instead of the yo-yo buzz saw.
A hand saw on a string?
A roll of polishing paper?
Measuring tape`?
A folding rule?
I think the story is coming along nicely. :007)
To be honest I like my idea of the horse disguised as/in a shithouse better than the winged horse. I'll see if I can develop it by tomorrow.
On the other hand I didn't quite get the who-played-who game in the gambling house first time I read it. I'm quite quick on the uptake if you only give me enough time

Now let's do Permision to Slay, just to annoy Higgins
Oh, for sure we'll do that one! But meantime, "The Chattels of a Lady" already has started and includes cameos. All help welcome!
sir James: The Lady doth seem older than most I meet. Even ten years my junior, at worst..
Octopussy: "You let my dear father hang himself, sir James. I will be forever grateful to you."
Can anyone suggest funny names for the two Majors? 1) the one in the PTS who sounds like a load of bull 2) the one who plays Kamal at backgammon
Major Blunder
Major Cockup
Major Slipp

You don't like the winged horse?
Kamal : Who, sir James or the sottish nave ?
