  • Thank you @GoldenGun . You do an impressive job on this game. I'm catching up now and so far I'm skewing with the game (minus a couple of entries). 25. DAD (my 25) 24. TWINE (24) 23. DAF (22) 22. AVTAK (23) 21. TMWTGG (20) 20. SP (16) 19…

  • and the last one has see food on it. Not eyeball pizza again!!! (Sorry, @DarthDimi ... I had to..., 😂!! It was there for the taking, and we all know I'm a sucker for low hanging fruit).
  • @007ClassicBondFan , bang-on! It's storytelling. There are an infinite number of avenues they can take for the next era (that will be making moves in 2026, for a 2027 release).
  • A few weeks ago, randomly picked up TMWTGG to read again. Then, last week, I randomly chose GF ( probably my best read of this novel, marveling at Fleming's imagination), and as soon as I was done that, I plucked TB off the shelf, which I'm also …
