James Bond Day

October 5th 1962 set in motion a cultural phenomenon.

Bond…James, Bond.

When Sean Connery uttered those words he created a template for all the 007s actors to follow.

Dr No was the first book to be made into a film although it wasn’t the first book written by Ian Fleming.

That distinction went to Casino Royal.

This post is a tribute to all things Bond because October 5th is now James Bond Day.

I thought I would have a bit of fun and share a few of my favourite Bond items and moments in words and images.

Here we go.

With the launch of the new film, I am delighted the reviews have been positive. I have enjoyed Daniel Craig’s interpretation - he struck the right balance of vulnerability and rugged British Bull Dog Spirit.

My Favourite Car is The Aston Martin. My neighbourhood is feature rich with this classic car.

My favourite Bond watch is The Omega Seamaster - classy, stylish and understated.

Favourite Bond Girls:

Honey Rider

Pussy Galore

Dr Goodhead😂

Favourite Bond film story was Licence to Kill.

Favourite Villain was Sánchez .

Favourite Q moment:”now pay attention 007, if it wasn’t for Q Branch you would have been dead a long time ago”.😂

Favourite Film: hands down is Casino Royale.

Favourite Book: Moonraker

I love everything about the Bond world because I have tasted it. Travel, my profession as a magician, I have worked some amazing places.

Smooched with gorgeous women

The life style is intoxicating.

I am greatfull to and for James Bond because his philosophy of life is based on his family motto: THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH. Only a man with an insatiable appetite for life would live by this code.

He drives one of the coolest cars, enjoys fine clothes, eats well, courts with danger, sex with beautiful women and yet still, it will never be enough, why?

He became an orphan at a young age.

He witnessed the death of both parents.

His entire context for life shattered.

He saw how impermanent life is.

So, he lives right on the edge between life and the possibility of death at every moment. The only thing that will satisfy him is to choose his moment when it comes and a glorious moment it must be because…. this world will never be enough for Bond…James Bond.

Only a glorious death will do.😥
