Going to see James Bond "at the pictures"

Skyfall hasn't quite made it over here to Australia (but then neither has Marmite, broad racial tolerance & an abundance of good dress sense but hey-ho!).

However, I'm going to see the film on Saturday and it reminds me of the anticipation I had back in the day before heading off to see a double-header of Thunderball & Doctor No at the Classic Cinema along Seaside.

The whole Bond experience from the false beginning, exotic theme scene through to the very last frame which announced...

James Bond will be returning in On Her Majesty's Secret Service

The whole thing was magical and as for the time when James Bond assumed the pseudonym Peter Franks (my fathers and my middle name) the whole picture was complete. It was inevitable, one day I would become Agent 007.

And the great thing is, I still believe it is only a matter of time!
