  2. Despite being made in 1967, You Only Live Twice remains my favourite Bond film! 'It's another space craft! The Front is opening up!' Amazing!

      "Diamonds are forever" was my first in the Newport cinema. "Sorry ol' boy one of us appears to smell like a ta*t..."

      Appalled at the use of asterisks?! Just as well I didn't say what I really think of the programme then!

      I'm still shocked Tim that you would use such language! ;-)

      Well quite! I thought this morning that it hurt, but as the day has progressed it has swollen up quite nicely! So thought best to seek medical advice!

      Are you a bad luck magnet or what? Either that or you are the clumsiest person I have ever met ;-P

    4. Brinkly

      Brinkly

      Well I’m perhaps not the clumsiest person to walk the earth, maybe in Devon, but I do get ‘light headed’ when my blood sugar level is down! And have a history of just passing out!

  7. The model room is now clean after an epic 12 hour tidy! The only problem is I can't find anything now... ;-)
