Yes I know this is very early and I apologise for that, but I will be working more over the next weeks and will probably not have time to visit AJB because of this, so while I have the opportunity I would like to wish every one a very merry Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous new year.
Hello my friends. I have been away from AJB for some time because of my work commitments but I now hope to visit more often. I send you all my best wishes.
Hello my friends. Can I reply here to those people who sent messages. I have not left AJB and I thank you for your concern.
I am busy at work like many of us are, I am also busy volunteering with my church. I go to keep gardens tidy at old peoples homes who can no longer do this themselves. This is a free service (but I gratefully accept many cups of tea and biscuits!) just to help the needy and hopefully help to say thank you to this country for helping me when I was in need of help.
I smile to myself when the people see me cutting grass and weeding etc in my bare feet. Their reaction always makes me smile and they ask if I can not afford shoes! Some people have even offered to buy shoes until I explain I always never wear them when ever possible.
Thank you again my friends and I will continue to visit AJB when ever I have free time.
You are a lesson for silly nerds like me who spend hours in internet while you are doing this world better. I guess that's why you are so missed around here -{
Please forgive the belated intro, as I’ve already been posting bits and pieces here and there over the last week or so. Was a member of this esteemed forum many moons ago. Rejoined recently to draw attention to a current project that might possibly amuse members who have an interest in the kind of vintage British thrillers that inspired Ian Fleming:
Politeness dictated that I justify my membership by re-establishing my credentials as an 007 aficionado of long standing (from my first viewing of YOLT in the cinema, way back in the distant mists of infancy). In the process of doing do, I found myself drawn back into the discussions. Apologies for any confusion caused.
Hello Bondfans! I thought I’d join up and get involved in a bit of Bond-related chat! I’ve been a lifelong fan of James Bond since a little kid in the 70s getting all excited at Xmas and Easter for a Bond film to appear on ITV. :007)
I’m not an expert in any way, more of a keen amateur, so I’m hoping the residents won’t mind if most of my contributions are asking inane questions that any serious Bond fan should already know the answer to.
I’ve been on quite a few forums in my time, and I’m hoping this is a friendly, welcoming forum who is willing to put up with dumb newbie comments, rather than using me for a spot of target practice in Lazar’s Workshop! (I’m a Roger Moore fan, but I don’t tell my friends!)
I have a soft spot for Moonraker, but I hope that’s not against the forum rules! Bye for now!
Welcome AndrewBond. Most excellent first name there makes you awesome by default - trust me I know from experience. Don't worry about posting noob comments, as Moneypenny would say, "It's all part of the learning curve". As long as you can distinguish 'James Bond' from '007' you'll be just fine
Hope you enjoy your stay here. Did you celebrate the recent anniversary of Moonraker?
Always have an escape plan. Mine is watching James Bond films.
Welcome AndrewBond -{ a Roger Moore Bond fan ?, so obviously a man of
Good taste Before joining AJB007 I too looked at several other forums.
AJB is by far the most easy going and friendly.
A kid of the 70's with Bond at Christmas etc, You sound a lot like me. )
Moonraker is also a guilty pleasure for Me, ( I love the book as well ) it is an
Epic, needs a big screen to appreciate the wonderful cinematography and
exotic locations.

Welcome, AndrewBond to AJB...always nice to see new blood around here -{
Thank you Sir Miles, Thunderpussy, Quentin and Barbel for you kind welcomes! I shall attempt to make a few valuable contributions (less Agent XXX, more Mary Goodnight) over the coming weeks! I’m just tucking into a newly purchased copy of Some Kind of Hero and rewatching the films as I go so if all else fails I’ll reword an insightful comment in there and shamelessly pretend it’s my own!! -{ :007)
Lots of threads and conversations to browse through, looking forward to talking soon!
Cheers @Dragonpol I am trying to remember how this site works ) I was curious what the general consensus was regarding the B25 title, it appears positive on here from what I have read so far

You'll soon get the hang of it, I'm sure. In fact, I think you've mastered it already!

I'd like to ask that before you post a question, please use the Search function to check if it has been asked previously.
Hope you enjoy your stay here. Did you celebrate the recent anniversary of Moonraker?

You could even say that fire and ice returns! Welcome back. You may know me better as Dragonpol over at the other place.
