    I rarely remember dreams when I wake up but I do remember one Bond dream I had many years ago. I dreamt that I'd met Bond author John Gardner and was chatting to him. I excitedly asked him what his new novel would be called and he replied "Tutti Frutti". John Gardner was still alive at this time though he had long since stopped writing Bond novels. Still, dream logic being what it is I asked him anyway which might explain why his title suggestion was somewhat offbeat for his fifteenth original Bond novel! :)

    😂 Y’know what? EON can have that idea for free.

    😆 😂 😆...

    In all seriousness, I do want what you were smoking right before bedtime, though (😂)

    Think it was more likely too much cheese and one or two bottles too many of cider perhaps. 😂 (wild, I know). No idea where it came from. My dreams have a tendency to be a bit weird though.

    I think I mentioned it before, bit I once dreamt of watching a Bond film with Sean Connery that was a mix of FRWL and... DAF. A lot of the early action was set on a train and Connery looked like he did in DAF.

    Replied or sang?

    Replied. :)

    It's a shame as I heard that Little Richard had been booked to do the theme song and everything. To be honest I don't think I was even aware of that song until a little later so I've no idea where my fevered brain picked that title from. Possibly it was out of the ether? The dream then ended or I woke up leaving me in a similar state to Alan Partridge frantically trying to ask Roger Moore questions:

    Must be something in the air. The other night I dreamed about a TV series Dalton was in, and there was a running gag that his character would shag anyone or anything.

    I once dreamed that a PTS sequence of a Bond film with Daniel Craig, early in his tenure, was set at the Windsor train station. There was a bomb in a train set to go off and kill the Queen or something.

    Interesting dream. That sounds quite like a John Gardner Bond novel story! :)

    Surely that's the Bond Girl's name. Part of a sign-countersign. A dessert ordered. A John Glen-style pop music insert in an action moment. Or all of those.

    And I don't mean to call anyone Shirley.

    Yes, it certainly fits for all of those but it doesn't really work so well as a Bond title. Perhaps the takeaway is that you should never meet your heroes (in dreams)?

    Last night's dream was Bond (Connery, circa TB or YOLT) imprisoned in the stomach of a blue whale. He then used some sort of gadget to induce the whale into um... bringing him back up.

    Like a cross between Bond and Finding Nemo.

    Or a cross between Bond and Jonas.

    I'm sure he had a whale of a time.

    As Alan Partridge would no doubt have said, "The name's Bond, Jonah the Bond."
