Excellent work Hitch! I enjoyed this very much. You captured Bond perfectly - tea indeed!

[Qwerty]

Loved it Hitch. It's a smart, fast-paced and fun short story.

You know you're reading something good when you come across a line like this: "

Excellent Hitch!

[Hitch]

Much obliged, everyone. Qwerty, I've never had my scribbling quoted back at me before; it's a strange feeling, but not unwelcome.

*God slaps Hitch and tells him to be grateful for anything he can get*

Now if only I could get the hang of indenting my paragraphs when I post in The Rough and the Smooth forum...

[Qwerty]

I don't recall if one can or not.

[Lazenby880]

I've tried indenting the paragraphs when posting using both tabs and spaces but neither works - which is strange.

And yes Hitch, it's good. Very good in fact. Now, getting back to To Whom It May Condemn...

[Hitch]

Understood. There's no peace for the wicked.

[Qwerty]

Perhaps we'll see if there is someway we can do that for the Fanfiction forums in the future. I'll try to check it out.

Good God, Hitch!

That was bloody brilliant!

Incredibly amusing.

My thanks to Qwerty for posting the file.

I recently downloaded a pdf converter program, so I did a little light editing on Pronto and converted the Word file to a pdf because...erm...I enjoyed doing so. All I've done is tidy the story a bit. It's still rougher than a cheese-grater with a hangover, but those Bond fans who haven't read it might find it raises a smile. And it's a short story, so you'll get through it pronto quickly.

Still adorable - but I am dreadfully curious as to the correct pronunciation of Walther now.

You wouldn't be able to point me in the direction of that program would you?
(Or did it fall off a truck and into the cyberworld?)

Pay attention, 004. I shall ignore your insinuation of criminal behaviour on my part and will instead instruct you in the use of your latest piece of field kit: the Qute. It's a basic freeware program that converts Word documents into pdfs, no more, no less - so don't expect it to cut a dash on the backroads of Monaco. I want it returned in pristine order. Sign here. And here.

ITEM: One (1) Qute, cleared for active duty.

Signed.

The story is now back on CBn for reading.

[Bond_Bishop]

Great Qwerty. I like this story so much!

[Hitch]

Drink has been taken, but I don't care. Mr. Fleming, that arch-publicist, would understand - pronto.
