🚨NEW VIDEO🚨 Huge news about the future of James Bond today and in the last few hours I feel like I've experienced all the emotions possible and will likely need more time to digest but for now... Here's my immediate take 👇 youtu.be/jNUDUXEISP4

Did someone call for some Tabasco?

This time last year, I was heading the Thailand with the first of @raymondbenson.bsky.social original Bond novels and now I’m heading back to Thailand with his last. Feels like coming full circle ⭕️

There really should be more games where you play as Sean Connery zipping around on a jetpack blowing stuff up... I'll be playing through the final three levels of From Russia With Love LIVE at 8pm (UK time)! youtube.com/live/I4V_4Ti...

The jig is up. I confess, I’m actually a ventriloquist dummy and I’ve been hiding this fact for years. No further questions at this time, please.

I'll be playing through the most underrated (?) Bond game ever at 7pm (UK) live on YouTube so do join me if you're free. I haven't been perfecting my old-man-Connery voice impersonation all day for nothing! youtube.com/live/VrMBXv_...

For those who tuned into my card unboxing the other night and saw me unwrap an expired "reservation" card and heard I was going to try my luck and enquire regardless... Well...

The Dua Lipa Albert Hall show is so good and she has now shot to the top of my list of artists I'd LOVE to hear a Bond theme from. Anyone else have her on their most-desired list for Bond 26?

The quest for the John Cleese / Judi Dench duo continues but this Golden Girl dual signature is a thing of beauty 😍😍

I'm going liiive once again at 8pm with another 007 trading card unboxing! I unsheethed an auto from George Lazenby himself last time (which I mildly freaked out about) but still in pursuit of the elusive John Cleese / Judi Dench duo signature. Do join! youtube.com/live/Ls5bGm4...

My toxic trait is taking pictures of meals in restaurants and never actually posting them so here’s some amazing food I ate in 2024

I was shooting for ‘detective in gritty northern crime drama’ here but the purple beanie betrayed me and I just look like a slightly lost gay (which I am)

Obviously I’ve been completely drawn in. How painfully predictable of me.

Amazon US: tinyurl.com/y6rkr2dj Amazon UK: tinyurl.com/3r7nkzsc An e-book omnibus w/ all 6 of my original 007 novels at a nice price! “Bond novels have been written by several authors since Fleming’s death... Benson is, for my money, one of the best.” —Edinburgh Evening News, UK

WOW 🤩 one of the most incredible 007 related publications I’ve ever seen. Spy Octane is a fabulous, glossy deep dive into every aspect of Bond’s vehicles from Fleming to Diamonds Are Forever. It’s incredibly in-depth at over 400 pages so it’s going to keep me busy into 2025!!

Well @markedlitz.bsky.social has done it again and produced an invaluably informative and very very fun read with his latest “Keeping 007 Alive”. It’s going to be my companion through the next few years as I work my way through all of Bond in print. A PHENOMENAL collection of interviews!

A few weeks ago I saw a man with a bird of prey on his arm in the office and everyone thought I was nuts but turns out I was RIGHT and they use a hawk to keep pigeons from nesting on the roof and he comes in every week. Vindicated but wtf is this a whole thing in offices?

I make an appearance in @ExperienceBond 's annual 007 gift guide video with a couple of stocking filler picks for a Bond fan. I'm wearing a cream turtleneck so you KNOW it's festive 🎄 youtu.be/DJkAJjTB0AM?...

Love me a tat-filled-bumper home media release of one of my favourites 😍😍

🚨NEW VIDEO🚨 Is 2 hours enough to talk about The World is Not Enough? Been working on this appreciation of one of my favourite James Bond films for some time and I'm very proud with how it turned out so I hope you enjoy watching it! youtu.be/e15eEBDpST8

Is that an order?

Can’t begin to describe what a pleasure it was meeting @raymondbenson today! Especially considering his writing has kept me company on every plane and train journey I’ve made all year long. Really lovely to chat and spend some time with the man himself!

Reading this has me like

The first DVD I ever owned was Deep Blue Sea and I regret nothing. Quote post with the first DVDs you ever bought and show these newbies who they’re dealing with.
