Years ago when I was about 13,reading in bed I felt a slight tickle on my leg but ignored it until it was repeated a little further up,I decided to check and quickly pulled back the covers to see a spider crawling along the bed. Now as they would say in friends I didn't scream like a girl but rather shrieked like a marine jumpimg out of it.In a brave manly way.
So I have had a Bond experience admittley it was only a UK house spider about one half inch across(but it had a look in its eyes,I knew it wanted blood).
Unlike Bond though I didn't kill it but bravely picked it up and released it on the stairs.:D
I wonder do any members have some stories of some small things from the films happening to them.

I replied, "Hmm. Diamonds. Hardest substance found in nature, cut glass, suggest marriage, and I suppose have replaced the dog as a girl's best friend." The fellow behind me laughed, a little too loudly, the counter girl smiled indulgently, and I felt very cool." I don't think either of them recognized the Connery line from DAF. -{
Nice! Seriously though, did you rehearse it even a little?

Coincidentally, I had, just a few days before, seen a rerun of DAF and the line came to mind immediately. It was very spontaneous and will probably never happen again.
LIke Bond, though, one must be ready for anything.
2) My first overseas mission--Geneva. I even finished the job, then sat in the hotel bar drinking brandy and smoking Cuban cigars in my suit.
3) Loading/shooting my PPK
4) Loading/shooting my P99
5) I once dated a woman named Dare. First name. I kept thinking what an awesome Bond-girl name that was.
The risers (the lines attaching you to the parachute) had become entangled wich resulted in what you call a streamer. This basically means that instead of air coming under your parachute, causing it to open and slow down your fall, the air flows past your parachute and renders it useless.
This was a round, military type parachute by the way. Not one of these fancy modern matrass type things.
The best thing to do would have probably been to use my reserve chute. But in that split second I decided that I could fix it by untangling the risers. I kicked out, causing myself to turn in circles in mid air, and then forced the risers apart with my hands. I never felt happier then when it did finally open.
Because of my unopened parachute I had been falling falling faster than I was supposed to. So in stead of being over the intended dropzone I found myself over a motorcycle racecourse, landing on wich would have resulted in broken limbs at least.
Normally you turn into the wind while parachute jumping, to slow down your speed. But I now decided to turn with the wind so it would blow me clear of that racecourse. However I now found myself going fullspeed towards the barbed wire fence at the edge of it.
I pulled up my legs to be able to just go over the fence, though I grazed it with my bum.
Behind the fence was a small body of water, wich turned out to be surprisingly deep. I landed in that and immediately found myself completely submersed.
My instructor and some other people came running over and pulled me out of the water. He asked me if I was allright, to wich I answered positively.
He then told me "Great landing, kid!"
I looked at him: "Really?"
So he said: "Trust me, any landing that you can walk away from after something like that is a great landing."

One other time I had an half-eaten apple on the nighttable. Woke up and was about to take a bite when I saw a large-ish spider on the apple, continuing where I left off ....
I also discovered a bat in my bedroom once ..... and then there was the time a mouse got in by the window.
Thank God i live in Norway. I wouldn't have survived the night in Jamaica.
"Luck of the Devil"
That's a very good Bond title!
Yes it is B-)
