    Well from here on out I won't be acknowledging them- even if he does post porn and corpses. Just flag and ignore. We'll get the good ol' board back soon enough.

    Porn and Corpses. I should start a heavy metal band because that's a great name.... :-?

    Our first concert:

    I know, we started out small.

    On our playlist we had:

    - We Have Nothing To Declare
    - Big Cojones
    - Compliments From Sharky
    - Callin' Me A Horse's Arse? (extended 25 minute version)
    - Problem Eliminator
    - Call Of The Q
    - Plomo Or Plara (acoustic solo version by @MajorDSmythe)
    - Thank you, Saunders
    - Justin Bieber Gets The Boot

    and many more.

  • I've always been confused by the whole Urma Bunt scene in OHMSS where Bond goes back into the "wrong room".
    When I was a lot younger I used to think that Bunt had caught onto Bond's little scheme and had planted herself, with a guard, in one of the girl's rooms that Bond was due to meet, in order to catch him out.
    I'm sure however that on forums in recent years I have read that Bond actually went into her room, by mistake. I think it's the former but I stand to be corrected.

    It's confusing because when Bond sits down on the bed you hear a little giggle but then Bond pulls the covers back to reveal Bunt. "Fancy seeing you here" and whack over the head!
    Surely the point of the little giggle, which is obviously one of the girls and not Bunt (!) is to assure the audience that Bond is onto his next conquest and even the line "Fancy seeing you here" suggests that Bunt is in one of the girl's rooms.

    What do you guys think?
    I think what I originally thought was correct

    Of course you are correct. She has substituted herself for Ruby in Ruby's room.

    I know Bond has quite a few birds on the go but he's not such an imbecile to walk into Bunts room in error (unless he maybe thought she was up for it?).

    This theory is plainly utter bollocks and I dont know where you heard it because its a new one on me. However it does raise the question 'does Bonds unprofessional licentious behaviour jeopardise the mission?'

    When Blofeld captures him he states that 'Heralds from the college of arms do not seduce young ladies'. I know he gets some info off Ruby but Nancy and the Chinese girl seem to be just because its there on a plate. I mean we all would but the taxpayer isn't paying him to shag his way through a whole harem.

    Or is the shagging incidental and its his mistake about the Augsburg tombs that does for his cover?
  • You make several good points, all well made.
    How the blazers could I have doubted myself?

    Oh, you have me in a fit, good sir! =)) :)) =))

    These are the moments in which I feel proudest to know you.


    P.S.: Mr. Dalton would approve. ;)

    I forget now, did we do the electronic or cello version?

    The electronic, of course. I would know, since I have gone to at least a dozen of your shows. Though, after that first concert you always do the cello version as well after we all shout for an encore. And @DarthDimi being @DarthDimi insisted on crazy pyrotechnics for each performance while @MajorDSmythe said he wanted to crowd surf at least three times and @thelivingroyale threatened to quit if you all didn't do an instrumental treatment of the Rocky theme near the end of the show. Can't say I blame him, actually.

    Okay, and I'm a back-up singer. :) Thanks for letting me join.

    I'll buy your new album "Cut out His Heart" when it hits the stands! alright time to get serious. Why would Zorin kill someone in broad daylight where anyone could see a body drop out of the blimp!?! :O

    Have you ever been here when some of the biggest attacks happen?

    Yes. I flagged ASAP. Don't fall in the "newcomer" trap just because I have "only" 300 posts here...
    As I have said, ignoring them is just as futile as anything.

    You should try then. You keep on answering them, and you're basically the only one doing this, I think I've seen once a bunch of a dozen of Q&A posts between you and "them". We still don't know what will happen if everyone will really ignore them.

    I was very diplomatic when I say you keep on playing with them, because I actually think it's the other way round. I think you're the only one "they" bothered to "steal" the username of, it should make you think a bit...

    I've not yet seen them here completely ignored (but often it was very close except for one of our youngest members), and well, I'm far from a newcomer here :)

    Looks like I'm building myself a whole new career here on the forums. :D

    Hey Dimi, got room in the band for a cellist? Or should I have learned the violin? ;)

    A would like to hear "A Farewell to Arms"! (And I imagine it like Dire Strait's Brothers In Arms but with Dalton as the leading voice.)

    Excuse me, the title of this thread is "Parts of Bond Movies That Don't Make sense." So why are you a-holes cluttering it up with this inane conversation that has nothing to do with the topic?

    Excuse me, I started this thread. And if people want to have inane conversations with each other that's their business. Just do it someplace else!

    Looking back a page, I think I may have started the tangent-- sorry old boy :-$

    Just a quickie to get us back on track: Skyfall- Why does Bond dig the shrapnel out of his shoulder himself when he's right there in MI6 Headquarters?
    My only guess is that he was worried that they would find him unfit for duty it they knew he was walking around with shrapnel in his body for months-- and that's a stretch

    Apology accepted? Why should he apologize? He wasn't the one calling people "a-holes". What a mature way to speak your mind.

    Oh and how would you characterize the individuals who were carrying on their idiot conversation on my discussion thread? I think my characterization was spot on.

    @Brady You can hardly castigate him for that. @DB5 has done nothing wrong here, not at least compared to some behavior we have seen on these pages in recent times from other participants. I've had a serious minded thread hijacked and even trivialized myself when a handful of others took it upon themselves to ruin a good piece, so can appreciate any frustrations. Think you two should leave it now though, there's no sense in having a dispute over this

    I've just finished watching YOLT.

    Why does Bond *literally* walk into Han's fist in Blofeld's private room with the piranha tank?

    Some do say Connery is sleepwalking through the film but I'd love an answer for this!

    Well, yes and I don't think that's a stretch. But also I thought he wanted to to get answers personally; "for your eyes only" or "for her eyes only" whichever he said. Only M or himself to know, to trace where that bullet came from. He wasn't trusting MI6 not to have a serious mole at that point.

    For years I wondered how Tiffany knew to follow Blofeld-in-drag out of the casino. How did she recongnize him, if they had never met and also considering that she wouldn't even know he existed.
    Until it was pointed out to me by another Bond fan, that the answer was so obvious, it was quite easy to overlook.
    Namely, that after Bond's adventures atop the Whyte House and his escape from the "walking my rat" episode, Blofeld's cover was fully blown. Bond and Leiter presumably simply filled Tiffany in. Now being Blofeld-knowlegable, Tiffany spotted the cat and gave chase, until she was caught. "Look what the cat dragged in."
