  • Please, for the love of god, no!
  • I've been absent from TBB for a while as I've been engaged with my own writing (still am actually) but intend to visit very soon. It is the only blog I subscribe to.
  • I just love this thread. Just to be clear though @IGUANNA no bees were hurt in the making of my book ;)
  • As a founder member & chairman of the World Wide Bee Keepers & Friends Of The Honey Producing Insects Welfare Foundation (or WWBKFOTHPIWF for short) I feel I must register my disquiet with regard to the last few lines. I do hope that as a re…
  • Barbara Shelley would have made a great Moneypenny.
  • Has anyone seen the film 'Quatermass & The Pit'? I remember watching it in the early 70's & it really creeped me out. It was on TV recently & I must admit my main focus was on the delicious Barbara Shelley. She had the most tenuous of Bo…
  • I know I'm posting consecutively so aplogies for that but I'm a tad exited so just had to share. I've just looked at the Stats for AGA. It's currently sitting at number 58 in the amazon bestsellers rank 'war & military' section & number 107 …

  • Just a reminder that if you are interested you can bag your free copy of An Ungentlemanly Act today. Just follow the link. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01L3XJLWA

  • Just in case anyone is interested or for those who missed it when it was last offered. Tomorrow (10th Sept) will be another chance to get An Ungentlemanly Act for free. As last time the promotion will run for one day only.
  • I take your point however I must point out that the other examples are one on one. That doesn't make them too long. When Bond is faced with multiple opponents there has to be some semblance of reality otherwise we would just witness that old cliche …
  • The chap with whom Bond had the hotel room fight was also one of those escorting him into Draco's office. That particular henchman had proved himself a worthy opponent therefore it only stands to reason that Bond would attempt to overpower him &…
  • I'm not sure if you're aware but the whole point about fighting - fighting when you are taught to fight - is all about having it over & done with in as short a time as possible. In that respect because Bond was facing multiple opponents he neede…

  • I've been giving this much thought & have yet to narrow it down.
  • Baddie number 1 has actually two names - his birth name (I'm thinking Patrick Concannon - without the 'O') & a name he later adopted. The original name is made mention of during Flynn's briefing when Sir Claude is reading from the mission folder…
  • If those who are reading An Ungentlemanly Act think the notion of the British Secret Services employing a career criminal such as Flynn in their fight against the Nazis is a tad fanciful, here's a little secret. He - the character Harry Flynn - was …
  • Marrying a couple of names from the suggestions Big Al Concannon or Patrick Concannon (If the latter then he would have an AKA 'Mad Dog' Concannon or 'Lucky' Concannon or 'Razor' Concannon).
  • Dandy! I hadn't thought of that! There was a real gangster called 'Dapper' because of his love for expensive clothes. Dandy......... ..........?
  • Here's a list of real Irish mobsters from the thirties & forties. https://toppublicenemies.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/top-70-famous-irish-american-gangsters.html#Died_between_1900_and_1950 Could anyone come up with a good name in the same vein…
  • I had been thinking of a name with 'big' in it as a reference to the mans position or 'mad dog' for his demeanor. Search you tube for 'Big Al' & Delaney's donkey.
  • Personally I think the problem & all its facets are beyond the comprehension of most ordinary folks & indeed governments. Just on the point of ISIS, if we were to defeat them (is defeating a terror organisation which is embedded in many coun…
  • I'll have to watch this toward the end o the month as I am on a limited data allowance but am looking forward to it.
  • I'm still guessing that box sets count - if so 'Extras'.
  • I am struggling a bit for a suitable name for the main villain in my next Harry Flynn book & wonder if anyone has any ideas what I should call him? He is an Irish American mob boss who runs the biggest Irish gang in the city. I've toyed with se…
  • Welcome everyone & I recommend @scottishguy1972s trailer. It is really good. Unfortunately I don't have a you tube account else I would have posted a comment there so this will have to do.
