What I learned in 2016 on the James Bond boards.

Apparently, Bond has never been to Australia, except in at least one of his novels.

I learned certain people reeeeeeally like deleting their own posts.


"You'll have to speak up I'm wearing a towel"

I learned a movie like JASON BOURNE with average success and not released in competition with Bond can still spell doom for the OO7 franchise.

What no man Can give ya. And none Can take away.

I learned that I am racist if I can think of better franchise casting choices for the next James than a 44-year-old black man who doesn't even act much like James, ever.

Now, this is a signature gun, and that is an optical palm reader.

I learned that The Living Daylights was the most TOWERING AND MAJESTIC Bond film, at least during the month of May.

What did you learn on the board this year
Dear little Bond fan o' mine?

I learned that M would never tell a lie
I learned that agents seldom die
I learned they're here to keep us free
And that's what EON told to me
That's what I learned on the board this year
That's what I learned on the board.

I learned that MI6 must be strong
It's always right and never wrong
Its agents are the finest men
And we come watch them again and again
That's what I learned on the board this year
That's what I learned on the board.

I learned that Craig will hang around
At least unless someone else is found
He must be young and he must be white
Or the entire fan base will get uptight
That's what I learned on the board this year
That's what I learned on the board.

Ceterum censeo OCTOPUSSY esse delendam.

I learned that voting Tory will cause your wife to have bigger breasts and increase your chances of owning a BMW M3.




What we do in life, echoes in eternity.

I learned that Daniel Craig both is and isn't going to play Bond again.
