  • With all due respect to Maurice Binder I'm prepared to stick my neck out and say its the best. My only real gripe is the speed the blood drops over the GB but overall (combined of course with Cornells YNMN) it rocks. I don't think any of the o…
  • This whole 'should Bond be black' topic is a troll. If we stop feeding it it will die. Otherwise it will go on and on and on. Forever.

  • I would say that there is very little evidence that Fleming (and by extension Bond) had any interest in the subject. Yes he doubtless had to endure it at school like many of us but that is a cultural thing and in all the accounts of Fleming I've …
