    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 :D

    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 :D 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.

    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!

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

    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! :)

    Hello all,

    Long time lurker, finally joined and happy to share the bond hobby with like minded people (the Mrs does not share the enthusiasm sadly).

    Always loved the films but never considered the possibility of owning any clothing or memorabilia. That all changed when Mr Zaritsky popped up in a suggested video online.

    Fortunate enough to live in the east midlands, only a few miles from the factory shops for Sunspel and John Smedley.

    Look forward to getting to know some of you and contributing on the forums.

    Hello everyone,

    For some time, I've been reading some topics here without signing up, so here is something done. Before anything else, I want to point out that I do not come from an English speaking country, so please excuse me for potential spelling or grammatical mistakes.

    I discovered Bond more than fifteen years ago, when I was quite young, it was on TV and it was Never Say Never Again. Since then, I have read and loved Ian Fleming's novels, and it won't not surprise you if I confess that my favorite actor in the role is Timothy Dalton. It was by researching details about his potential third film that I discovered this forum, and topics that were dedicated to what could have been. Thus, one day or another you may see me post some ideas, explaining what would have been my dream for a Bond 17 starring Dalton, on one of these topics.

    So I hope to contribute on the forums and I look forward to getting to know you better.

    Welcome to the AJB Herr Stockmann.

    English is also my second language, so I understand your comment. By being here on AJB I feel it has helped me to dramatically improve my written English.

    I’m a fan of Dalton too, but not everyone in the forum is. Where do you live?

    I imagine. I guess what played against him was mostly his films, more than his interpretation itself. I live in France!

    No, it was Dalton himself who was the problem ;)
    He was on the edge of getting fired by the means of the US distributors ;)

    Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!

    welcome Herr
    ...one day or another you may see me post some ideas, explaining what would have been my dream for a Bond 17 starring Dalton, on one of these topics.
    looking forward to your ideas. Imagine if there turned out to be two previously unreleased and unknown DaltonBond films made secretly in 1991 and 1993 and locked away in the EON vaults!
    I discovered Bond more than fifteen years ago, when I was quite young, it was on TV and it was Never Say Never Again.
    you must tell us more about this! What was it like to start with NSNA and then find your way into the "official" series? I don't think I've met anyone who started with that film before, but you must have thought it was pretty good to look for more like it. What were your first impressions?
    There's an entire thread called Does anyone regard 'Never Say Never Again' as better than Bonds 1-24?.
