    Just out of interest would any members here like to suggest a possible topic for the newly-reconstituted blog? It can be anything James Bond related - a problem in Bondology you would like an answer to, an in-depth study of something that has been overlooked etc.? If so, I'd really love to hear from you in this thread and maybe we can make it happen? :) -{

    any particular fields of interests or themes i.e.
    I've often wondered why in his Books Fleming always had very strong women as his Leading characters.
    all very modern women who may of had either a physcial ( Minor problem like a broken nose) or a mental
    block from an incident that happened long ago ( Tiffany Case in DAF ). Yet for the most part, Especially the
    early Films the ladies were bascially damsels in destress, very beautiful and even at times Helpful to Bond,
    but in many ways quite old fashioned compared to the women of Fleming's novels.

    I suspect IF was used to strong, independent women in the form of the most significant women in his life, his mother and his wife.

    Both of whom spent a lot of their time crapping all over good old Ian.

    Which may, or may not, have been the reason for one of his personal proclivities in his, er, "handing" of women.... :D

    James Bond, fantasy Fleming, had neither the problem or the personal preference B-)

    Yes, that is a very good point indeed, TP. So many idiotic commentators mix the films and the books up or point to Fleming's hatred of women in his habit of making them less than perfect - in fact the literary Bond only finds them all the more endearing. :) -{

    Please feel free to leave your comments on the article at the blog or in this specific blog thread. All feedback positive or negative is appreciated! Thanks for reading! The blog will be coming back on a firmer footing from here on in. :)

    Great article SM -{ Yes in his later Years Blofeld did seem
    to go a little crazy. Although Bond doe's get his revenge on
    him " Up close and personal".

    Yes, indeed you are right on the latter Blofeld.

    This article featured here last year in my comeback post on AJB but I've since added some more to it in order to make it more suitable as a TBB post. :)

    I just want to check with blog readers here if the screen is wobbling from side to side on this new blog article? A friend of mine has told me that it is doing this with him.
