All the following are true stories...my recent Bondian moments {[]
Scene 1
Late last year I was in a business meeting and noticed the necklace one of the "lovely unattached girls was wearing...only because she was chairing this meeting....of course. (I should add that I for one, am happily married with 2 lovely kids B-)). Anyway, after the meeting ended, I questioned her..."Tiffany's?" In true Bondian/Fleming fashion, I had recognised the brand and style of necklace she was wearing (a silver Tiffany's two interlocked rings style). She was surprised I had noticed. After conversing a little more, she remarked to me, "You have very sharp eyes..." I quickly snapped back, "...just wait till you get to my teeth." I couldn't believe it. She had fallen into my Bondian trap. Name the Bondian scene this episode is reminescient of.
p/s She is now holidaying on the beaches of Rio...without me...remember I am happily married! LOL
Scene 2
2 days ago, after another business meeting which ended to our satisfaction, our team decided to celebrate at lunch. During lunch, I again noticed the necklace worn by a young Irish lass who is our Relationship Manager. She happens to be in love (no, not to me but to a young man, her fiance). I leaned across the dining table and queried her, "Elsa Peretti?" She looked puzzled. "Your necklace, its a design by Elsa Peretti." Your young man must have given that to you. Very stylish.
Name the Bondian scene this episode is reminescient of.
p/s I actually continue to tell her about Elsa Peretti, who happens to be a highly regarded New York based jewellery designer. In your youth during the 60's she was a top fashion model. One of the pictures taken of her by the German fashion photographer, Helmut Newton fetched over $50K USD at auction many years ago. As I told the Irish lass the background to her necklace, one of the other guys on my table exclaimed, "How do you know these things?" "Lots of research," I shot back. LOL

Or as Bond would say,
Ok no more foreplay....
Nice stories Sid, very Bondian moments indeed...
Was the first very Domino-like?...one of my favourite bond babes...
and the second very Vesper?....
funny, i like my irish girls shaken not stirred, with a twist of red hair, cuffs matching...
Right on both counts, Paul
The 1st WAS REALLY VERY domino-like. You know, brunette, buxom (but not TOO much - just right!)...just your type Paul. At the other end of the spectrum from your oft quoted "Peaceful Fountains of Desire" mould. LOL B-)
Thought you liked ALL the girls shaken, not stirred, not just the Irish ones! LOL And matching cuffs essential...especially for the well dressed man.
cheers, Sid
Ho ho ho! Ed.
No, no, no...more foreplay. ..you are the man that cuts straight to the chase...
She didn't say anything. But my "Domino" had a highly speculative expression, one eyebrow slightly raised, and the very faintest trace of a smile at the corner of her mouth.

OMG your wife is well trained in the 007 humour. OMG your daughters? I can identify with that, except that my wife screws her eyes and my daughter cracks up.
I've had a few Bond moments, but this is the most recent. I just started working for my university's School of Gerontology doing office work, mainly press releases. My boss came in with edits on my first draft. I had made a few mistakes, since I didn't know all of the terminology associated with gerontology. She says not to worry because the next is--and I interrupt to say "considerably." She was a bit confused.
