Hi Gerald and anyone else interested.....if you've read the Ian Fleming James Bond books you'll find this link very interesting. It's from Project Gutenberg and it's "Thrilling Cities" by Ian Fleming. Reading it you'll see where a lot of 007 material came from.

He's a good writer, lots of humour and understatement.... then then but always

Great tune, and excellent editing......but I'll post it here and not the Music Thread, as I think it's more appropriate here.

^ Very interesting discovery - of course, Roger Moore had been famously playing Simon Templar in "The Saint" since 1962

More from James Bond's "dad".



Fleming's take on Japan from his "Thrilling Cities" make interesting reading, given his wartime career.
