    I had the pleasure and good luck to meet him at the beginning of the 90s and to spend an hour chatting and laughing about everything and anything while passing the time until our delayed flights were called. Absolutely charming and a perfect gentleman and I will never forget what he told me before parting. "You young lady have the most genuine smile and laughter I have encountered in a long time, please, never change!" Needless to say, I took his advice.

      I remember one time I was in the launderette waiting for my underwear to dry and Sean walked in to check on the kilts he was washing. We sat and chatted and laughed until his kilts were clean. He even showed me the real Scottish way of wearing a kilt and we laughed some more. On his way out he turned and said to me, "John" - for that is my name - "don't ever let the bastards grind you down. Fight to your final breath", and I've lived by those words ever since. Wonderful man.

      @@UncompressedWAVmusic well, it was a more fatherly approach. We were sitting in a corner of Frankfurt Airport during a massive flight delay due to a bomb scare. He saw the book I read and remarked he had too and that it was a good one. He had a beard and I didn't recognize him straight away, when I did and asked him why he is not in the VIP lounge, he laughed and that broke the ice. He was on his way to his home and wife.

      Sean hated Tories. He did a lot of work for Scottish labour workers, made documentaries on Scotland's labour force and pumped huge amounts of money into his education trust foundation for children in poverty, which he established. He was also fairly politically active in Scotland but kept his work largely to himself. I only just learned recently that he donated his entire pay-cheque for Diamonds Are Forever to the foundation, as well as his entire $250,000 salary for his small role in Robin Hood and millions more from other earnings, including from doing Never Say Never Again.
      I always assumed he was just greedy demanding higher pay for Bond and other later roles, but it turns out he was just getting as much as he possibly could out of gangsterish Hollywood producers to pump into good causes.

The best spy films featured George Smiley, not James Bond. Dalton apparantly 'looked' the most like Fleming described, but looked a bit too much like a movie actor.

Sean Connery was smart and he was a real visionnaire, for having saying that to Boris Johnson. I mean, who would’ve guessed that 17 years ago, Boris Johnson himself would become the real Prime Minister of England today? Sean Connery was undoubtedly also a real brilliant conversationalist.too.

      it's possible Connery considered Johnson a total cunt liable to mess up anything he'd touch. And so it was likely with utmost sincerity he wished for Boris Johnson to become chief and thus positioned to touch the Tories up real good. That Boris Johnson as party leader would also become prime minister and able to work his special magic with an entire nation was probably an unforeseen consequence as far as Mr. Connery was concerned.
