Hahahaha! That's so funny.
ha ha ha....unfortunately I'm good at all three :P
And bring your own appetite! I would gladly expand this seminar to a full semester tour through the culinary world of 007, leaving no quiche nor fish and red wine pairing unexplored.
And I would gladly sign up for your class in Motoring, with frequent field excursions through the English countryside and across the Continent.
m_balje will of course teach Linguistics (LING BREAD).
At best, maybe he fudges grammar a bit, types a wrong word here or makes a weird translation there. At worst? This is what we'll read on the course catalogue when students try to sign up for a class:

Crap. Looking back, I think this was a HUGE mistake.
@Some_Kind_Of_Hero, oh god, don't say that. When you say Jason Bourne University, do you mean that filthy, underfunded public institution where all the students are forced to wear baggy jeans and blouson jackets as their uniforms when we at James Bond U have the best accommodations and give our male students the finest suits tailored by Sinclair's company and the ladies the best dresses? How pedestrian of that cesspool.
I once heard a rumor that Matt Damon refused to visit Jason Bourne U campus as an honorable speaker because he thought it would hurt his reputation to have his name attached to such a dump, and the only people the administrators and president of the college could get to speak at some commencement events in the past was that one guy Matt Damon knocked out in the airport scene of Bourne Supremacy. How pathetic, right?
And who would want to go there anyway? What exactly do they teach you that you could use? Why would I take a class to learn how to fight with a ball point pen or rolled up pieces of newspaper, very limited skills, when James Bond U has a complete fight training course from the ground up with the best instructors out there? The only think Bourne U has to teach that we can't is how to survive when you have amnesia, but to use those skills you'd first have to lose your memory (a rare chance of that happening) and even if you did get amnesia by some massive improbability you'd forget you went to Bourne U and learned how to survive with the condition anyway, so what's the point? Like Greengrass's camerawork, I think that university is on shaky ground, and deservedly so.
Or battleship gray.
But then, what else would one expect from the Leader of The Colonel Sun Research Special Interest Party (TCSRSIP), (est. 2015)!
I mean...yeah, good idea @Dragonpol. Amis.
Ha ha!
I'm the proud owner of a first edition of Amis' On Drink (1972). I love the front and back photo cover art showing Amis holding up a glass of wine in front of a well stocked drinks cabinet!
Come to think of it, I have the collected Everyday Drinking edition, although ironically I don't drink alcohol at all! It's just the Amis collector in me I suppose!
It's still polite to learn how to make drinks for other people (said the person who has never bothered to learn how to make tea for other people).
I'm afraid there's no drink in my house either, apart from a bottle of Bushmills which belonged to my late father. He didn't drink much either, mind.
11,000th post, and I even got drink into it!

Job well done with the construction of the paper.
Where have you been? Haha! You're a ghost. No PMs, only forum posts these days? I hope not. I enjoyed our chats.
EDIT: Good job indeed @Revelator. It looks just like my secondary school book guides. I loved English class, so you've actually stirred up fond memories for me.
When did he go to Moscow? a journalist
When did he die? 1929
I don't know about the others.
How did I do?
I'm guessing it's part of the "Macmillan Readers: Diamonds are Forever Pack", designed for "Pre-intermediate" readers. Probably a simplified and heavily edited version of the novel used for teaching reading comprehension to children.
Next to that you can follow @RichardTheBruce's 'Bond's birds and the West Indies'(BIRD007) Not only will you learn how to seduce girls in Jamaica, you will also learn all about the lokal customs, Kling Kling's and hummingbirds. For an agent knows how to make any topic interesting.
It's not fair to jest about @M_Balje, as his topic of course is cripptology (ATAC01). If you want to succeed there you'll have to follow my course first: 'how to report while enjoying duty' (REP101). After all, knowing what to report and what not is the most basic skill of any government agent.
@Revelator, I wasn't aware of this edition of the Bond books. Interesting to see what this variation of a retelling (if that is the case) has to offer with what I assume to be a family-friendly version of the novels rather than the cold front that Fleming laid out. Many thanks.
Haha! Don't be alarmed if you see about 30 from me! You can safely ignore them. I hope you had fun overseas. Where did you go?
