  • I've just returned from a week in Malta. The number plate pattern there is ABC 123 and we saw a lot of 007 ones - this was my favourite:

  • I love the scratchcard - what a cute little piece of ephemera!

  • Thank you, folks! There was a decal for the watch face but it didn’t please me so I went with clear blue paint over silver, then a coat of luminous. Now with Brozza commentary from Twitter’s inimitable Stu! https://twitter.com/solts007/status/…

  • Hurricane Gold is the only Young Bond I've read and I did enjoy it - I love making his aunt a world traveller. On the whole I'd rather not know about Bond's childhood - it's clear he'd rather forget it himself, and I imagine it being very ordinary r…

  • The Harry Palmer TV series made me realise I'm tired of hearing what the protagonist hears after an explosion - when everything goes muffled and their ears ring. It happened in NTTD and al I could think of was Sterling Archer getting tinnitus from a…

  • Something a little different: 1996 statuette of Pierce Brosnan as James Bond, made by Dragon. I used luminous paint for the watch face :)

  • Obviously this is not the place for a Tintin discussion (although Daniel Craig did one of the voices!) but I really wanted to like the film more than I did. It had some brilliant elements but it didn't click for me.
