2. My kids

You do know Onatop was a trained killer, between the sheets – strangulation from her thighs…:p

Unfortunatley I have not had the pleasure of reading any of the proper books by Ian Fleming, however, I have read the ones which have been published to coincide with the last few films – they follow em quite well…

Are there any major differences between the I.F books and the films that were made?

I do know about her character yes. (I have all the films on original video).

The books are quite different.

Compared to the films often just the title, one or two of the major characters and the very basic plot/one or two bits match.

For example “View To A Kill” is a short story in one of the books and the connection is the sniping incident to the movie. The story has Bond in a tree IIRC (been a while since I read them – but I have them too at home – original paperbacks from the 60’s – not important editions mind)

Nope… keep guessing… (and no asking people to find out)

Go argue and bicker else where you two… by PM or e-mail preferably.

6. Americans when they say something that can be twisted into British humour and they don’t get it.

Ok my offerings…
1. Can’t single one out really
2. The latest one – I was fine until the ending with all the CGI stuff – killed it for me.
3. I do like Zhukovsky – IIRC he asks “Can’t you just knock like everyone else?”
4. Pierce Brosnan
5. Any really. I admit I quite liked the Anya Ontatop character…

Irwan – the Never Say Never Again film was not an “official” Bond film.
It happened because Sean Connery brought the rights to the story and remade it IIRC.

And the books are brilliant.

Sorry about being vague about the runway business… it is Lakenheath I was on about… It is, as Moggy points out, the same strip etc etc – it was unusual as most of the time the flying here is in the 24 direction…

Ollie they did say in the commentary that the Metoer was the last night fighter version flying…

Never watched Foyles war – am I missing something on the Honeysuckle Weeks department?

8. machrihanish-secretive (are you bird control or something arm waver)(i think iv’e just answered my own question)

Nope – Arm waving is my weekend hobby….
Keep guessing….

5. Upper Heyford – sadly now just a damn car park…

9. Lakenheath (well keeps me employed and I get paid to drive on it)
