Eagerly awaiting the opportunity to prove that my current cover assignment hasn't made me go soft. It will be a long year waiting for the next re-certification!!!

Indeed a grand time was had Aris007. We'll try to keep up the good work.

You do bring up a good point that we have considered before in that, doing these in Vegas are fun, but only if you're 21. Silly American laws. :(

Although, most of our events are held at venues that age isn't an issue. Then again, when you're staying at any of the resort casinos, the evenings always end up in the casino and the lounges. All in the life of a spy and the line of duty for Queen and country.

No, Really.

darkpath my friend, none of us have any doubt of your skills losing their edge before the next re-cert. We'll see you there. :)

Now santa, I will say that YES, there will be a DTBB4.

However, no plans have been discussed or details decided upon as of yet.

It's only been three weeks since we wrapped up DTBB3.

Eventually, "Axworthy's 13" will probably be meeting up in the near future to have a sit down and debrief. Then we'll start scheming. It's always kind of like a scene in one of the "Ocean's" films though. All of us lounging about eating and drinking with laptops, notepads and everyone kicking around ideas. Just like planning a heist or a mission.

As I mentioned before in this thread somewhere, There's only three things that have been decided upon.

- There will be a DTBB4.
- We'll be celebrating the 45th anniversary of Goldfinger.
- The title will be: "Dare To Be Bond 4: Midas Touch"

That's all for now. We'll keep everyone posted.

This kind of laws are good! Luck ganes and generally the atmosphere of the casino is an addicting thing for someone that hasn't created his personality in full. At least you keep these laws in America! Here laws like that drinking age limit for example are not kept by bar owners!

Don't worry, I think that I can hold myself for some years! :)

Just an note to apologize to all the attendees.

I have been laid up for the past 4 plus weeks and have yet to compile the winners of the contests and such and get all the pics up in a decent format. Now, some of you would say laid up = comp time, but seeing as I am on the equivalent of double vicodine four times a day, my comp skills equate to that of my two year old. That being said, I shall endeavor to get all the info posted as soon as I am able.

D07, I got the debrief and it will be used in the planning of our next adventure.

Any, and all, of the attendees, please feel free to send me a personal debrief of your DTBB3 experience, and pull no punches, as I will try to incorporate as much as I can into future events.

Again, I apologize and hope to get everything taken care of ASAP.

Felix

Four weeks of being "laid up?" Can't you CIA types come up with a better cover story? :(

Seriously -> thanks for the work you put into DTBB3. I'm sure the fourth installment will be great! Hope you are feeling better.

For some reason they keep sending me to these British physicians, and can't find the trouble...

If the best-trained physicians in the world cannot find a problem, then it exists solely in your head. Get out of bed, have a drink, and face the world head-on, old man.

All the 00's are reporting here...you must have had some effect during the re-cert, PahBell! All this without the usual bribe of fine bourbon!

All the fun we 00's had would mean absolutely squat if our greatest liaison was not in good health and enjoying himself.

Take care and thanks for the great time in '08. Looking forward to a 'golden' year in '09...

Congratulations! Sounds like another great DTBB. We just got back from Las Vegas yesterday for our annual birthdays trip. This time we stayed way off-strip at Green Valley Ranch & Resort, a very posh property. Great time as always, but we can definitely tell that the economy is taking it's toll on Las Vegas.

A toast to Bryce (003) and his crew for another great operation.

Cheers,

Ah yes, Green Valley Ranch is indeed a very nice spot.
