    The Latin words on Ian's headstone - the translation very roughly is " After enjoying life's pleasant things first : you are now decaying " , its from a book of Roman poetry " called On the Nature of Things " - by a Roman Poet Lucretius

    I absolutely agree with you about trying to change everything now about the past. It's becoming ridiculous the extent to how much the 'woke' are becoming. It's appalling.. I mean wither right or wrong History is important and it was what is was and that's how we learn as you rightly put it. To me personally everything just seems upside and petty these days. Thanks Paul for a stellar video once again ❤😊

    You should take a look at what Ian Fleming achieved during WW2......a very very brave man indeed.
    This is someone you would call a hero
    BTW.....Goldeneye was the name of his house and a WW2 operation.

    Great video Paul thank you .. I've been a Fleming book collector for over 30 years and it's great to see where he's at rest . I am down that way in July and may well pay the fella a visit .. when you think half the worlds population has seen at least 1 bond film it's an amazing achievement and a real smack in the eye to all of Anne's friends that thought Fleming couldn't write for toffee .. how many of them do we still read and I can guarantee you their books are nowhere near as valuable as Flemings. We will probably never know what Fleming achieved in the war all hush hush you know.. he also never got any real recognition of he's work. No KBE or OBE like he's brother. I think this is why Bond doesn't take any medals in the books apart from he's CMG which is the same award Daniel Craig has ..

    Your brief encounter with Pierce Brosnan (Sort of ) reminds me of this little tale. This is a true story too. A guy I know was driving along in his car with his g/f and as the were tootling along he spotted a man walking along the pavement who was wearing a bright green checked suit topped off with a bright green hat. He said to his g/f " You know, I bet that guy is Irish!" and with that he pulled up by the side of him, wound the window down and said to him : "Excuse me mate, do you happen to have the time on you, do you?" The guy looked at his watch and said: "Ah well now den let me have a little bit of a look , ah....now, tis quarter to tree so it is" in a very strong Irish accent . The driver thanked him and drove off leaving his g/f totally surprised at what had just happened ,😮 He then looked across at his g/f and said oh so calmly: "There you are, I told you he was Irish." Of course the funniest part was they both were wearing watches and the car had a clock, he just wanted to hear the guy speak. 🤣

    His holiday/weekend home is right on the beach at St.Margaret's Bay in Kent where he conjured up Moonraker! It's a particularly rugged part of the coastline here in Kent & towering white chalk cliffs loom over it. My other half is a big Bond fan. I thought he would have been buried here in Kent somewhere so was surprised to see his memorial stone in Swindon. x J x

      @halfbakedproductions7887 Год назад +2

      The original Casino Royale and also Dr. No were released during his lifetime. Wonder if he saw those and what he thought of them.
      Although Daniel Craig is probably the closest to the Bond depicted in the books mind you...

    • @mohammedashian8094
      @mohammedashian8094 Год назад +1

      @@halfbakedproductions7887 not after spectre and NTTD, he lost his credibility because of those by doing everything that’s the opposite of who bond is. Timothy dalton is really the one who got it right
      It’s very obvious that he wanted to get out of the role by any means necessary even if that meant killing him off. He’s noticeably much happier playing other roles (especially Benoit blanc in knives out) than he did with bond
      Also Fleming died in 1964 he only saw dr no and from Russia with love. The casino royale which was a parody and not a canon movie came out in 67

    • @phmwu7368
      @phmwu7368 4 месяца назад +1

      Ian Fleming saw both "Dr No" 1962 and "From Russia With Love" 1963 in cinema and knew about filming of "Goldfinger" and "Thunderball".
      2024 is the 60th anniversary of his death.

There is tell , that ,James Bond was based upon , Commander Lionel Crabb , who vanished in Portsmouth Harbour in 1956 . I heard you mention the names of two other place that you have visited ; Henley ( Dusty Springfield ) , and Ripley ,( Connor Clapton ) . The SOE were trained initially in the grounds of what is now The National Motor Museum, Beaulieu. . RIP MR. Fleming .

    It has been mentioned that Fleming wrote 'The magical car' which 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' is loosely based. I recently visited with a friend some of the places it was filmed. Russell's Water is just north of Henley on Thames which was used in the pond scene. My friend was taking photos and noticed there were a lot of large fish in the pond and one had taken an interest in us and swam right up to us. We named it Dick Van Pike.

    Good morning Paul. Just caught up with this one. Amazed how few (visible) graves there are in that churchyard. Anyway, another great video! I’ve never been able to decide exactly who my favourite Bond is. A big fan of Sean and Roger and thought Pierce was great having first seen him in Remington Steele which was a great bit of fun! But every actor has brought his own personality to the character and I’ve enjoyed watching them all. However, if I had to choose a favourite Bond film it would be ‘The Living Daylights’ with Timothy Dalton. Can’t put my finger on why, just find it a great adventurous yarn in the same sort of way as Indiana Jones films are. Keep ‘em coming!
