    glad you saw the goats, they are my favourite bit of the Orme. you only really missed the views down to the west shore of Llandudno from skipping the last bit of the walk, though while that view is pretty good it's not good enough to miss a ride back to your B&B. all the Bond's had at least one decent film, though Craig has been the best so far then Dalton - who was born in Bae Colwyn.

    Sean Connery is my favorite 007, but Roger Moore is second. This perhaps says more about how old I am than how good the Bonds have been 😂😂 But the James Bond movies have totally lost their original James Bond touch and unfortunately become one of the usual action films. I can't be bothered to look at them anymore. And then I don't have many thoughts about the next James Bond either. But Aidan Turner would probably have done well 😊

    @MoreModeratePeril 10 місяців тому

    Timothy Dalton was an excellent Bond with a far more cooler, hard edged, less whimsical portrayal of the character. The polar opposite of what Roger Moore had been providing for so long. The Living Daylight caught this perfectly. Licence to Kill was similarly a radical change, but too much, too soon. It sought to pitch Bond against other action movies, when previously it was a very separate and distinct franchise. The public wasn't ready for such a change in 1989. Yet oddly that is what exactly happened in 2006 with Casino Royale, where the same tone of Licence to Kill was replicated. It worked second time round. I also think the franchise took a major hit when John Barry left. David Arnold did two great scores with Tomorrow Never Dies and Casino Royale but musically many of the films since 1989 onwards have lost that aspect of their brand identity.

    Have you been asked to be the next Bond? I think no one would suspect you of being bond. You could just pretend to be a janitor or local idiot. Isn’t that the point of a spy to not be noticed? Hope they ask you.
    Did you know it’s illegal for people who live in Llandudno to be buried at St Tudno’s cemetery?
    Because they are alive. This is my best and oldest joke.

      I read this again. I didn’t mean this to be so rude lol. I meant you could slip into a building and get the secret plans while pretending to be a janitor or homeless bum. Not that you are not capable of fighting baddies. I’d say you are more of a grump than aggressor. New take on Bond???

      I can't believe my casting roles are janitor and local idiot. (This has pretty much been my career)
