#1 It is said that 007 was modeled after a WWII British officer who was a drinker, womanizer and did outrageous things during the war. He did not live long as he was eventually a war casualty.

#2 Unlike the scolds complaining about his lifestyle he would've enjoyed life.

#5 Last night Mr Warthog and I watched the newest Bond film, No Time to Die. The ending is terrible and out of sync with the style of Bond films. If this is all the writers have, the series will be on a serious decline. Pity.

#6 I haven't seen the new one yet but I get the feeling Skyfall was the last great one.

#8 I read my first bond would have died of STD's in the late 70s early 80s. Even as a kid I thought Bond was probably seducing a higher class lady than the magazine writers desperate to take him down.

#9 Oh sure, Bond would have died, but Shrillary is still sucking wind.

#10 Actuarial Karens can carp,
"Lucky Jack should be plucking a harp,"
And statistical hens
Cluck, "Don't run with those pens
Or you're sure to be flattened like Sharpe!"

Forever Bursting Bubbles? Certain Curtains?

#11 Or, less egregiously, IIRC, Horatio on the Bridge? ["And some folks say," etc.]

#12 Immortal! The son of a gun
Hummed, "God Save the Queen," but... which one?
Shed blood for the empire?
"Sure," chortled the vampire,
"But just in the dark, or I'm done."
