    I’m glad to put a face and voice to a moniker and I’m glad that Barbel’s interview series will go on! I hope the Mantis and Barbel didn’t have me in mind when discussing about those on who give unwanted shade on the board :))

    Forgot how Scottish Barbel was. Man that interview was epic. -{

    I was kind of disappointed we weren’t seeing Barbel behind smoked glass, stroking a white cat on his lap ... but apart from that very interesting indeed, and an opportune moment to thank him for all the hard work he’s clearly put into the community over the years! {[]

    I found Barbel's interview most enjoyable...thanks David for doing the interview and hopefully it will spread the word about AJB to Bond fans who may have never heard of us and who might like to come and join us.

    Much appreciated, gents, but all praise goes to David.
    This was filmed some six weeks ago, before I decided to stop (or at least slow down drastically) the interview series. It does seem an appropriate one to go out on.

    As I’ve said elsewhere - I can’t think of anyone better than Barbel to be the voice of AJB… probably not the face of it though {:) :))

    I have been seeing this in a hotel room while on vacation and laughed out - together with my wife- quite often.

    Thanks to Barbel for being - Just Barbel ! :x

    This interview was such a pleasure for me to do...mostly because it never felt like an interview. For me it was like meeting up with a gent I have respected for well over a decade in a pub and sharing some pints! A gent who has shared trial and tribulation with me....a gent who has created connective tissue of this forum and made it a necessary escape valve in this crazy world of ours...I loved reading the comments on YouTube of people who did not know about AJB because Barbel's representation of it truly speaks volumes....

    Thanks again, brother!

    High praise, and right back atcha! {[]
    For anyone who isn't aware, David has a thriving YouTube channel called (obviously) The Bond Experience (link in his post above) which is highly recommended. Interviews, reviews, and just possibiy some clothes might be mentioned. I'm particularly fond of his joint work with Joe Darlington where they discuss the Bond movies in depth.

    Sorry for coming to the table a little late on this. :)

    Thank you to both The Bond Experience and Barbel for an excellent and enjoyable interview. Knowing this place as I do, it brought many a smile to my face. My UK Politics Thread even got a mention, though that isn't really anything to boast about I suppose! Nice to hear Barbel's voice for the first time too and he's every bit the gentleman I've always believed he is! I certainly hope we get some new members off the back of this as it is great publicity for AJB. Great stuff all round! -{

    I’m a bit late to the party as well. That was a fantastic interview! It’s great to see the person behind the username. We’re really lucky to have such a passionate bloke helping run this brilliant site -{

    Life is just so unfair. The rest of us struggle along day-to-day and someone like Barbel gets all the brains and the looks too! No wonder they wanted to cast him instead of DC, just a shame that he returned their call too late.


    Great interview.

    Finally! Just had a chance to watch the interview, absolutely brilliant!

    Barbel, I hope EON offers you either the 10 yr lease on the DB5 or a turn on the next soundtrack {[]

    Thanks to both you and David, I think it’s been my favourite interview so far, fascinating to hear about the forum and it’s wonderful membership. And Higgins. -{
