I throw my dead friends into dumpsters, and take their money.

I break into my boss' flat to use her laptop and then make sarky remarks when she catches me. Somehow, I remain employed.

I kill guys in the service stairwell of my building all the time. Then I drink a big dram of scotch and change my shirt while I mop off the blood (theirs) and sweat (mine).

I invite women to help me look for the stationary. When they find it, I am puzzled as to why they have not yet taken their clothes off and jumped into bed with me.

It works...Trust me. They're either not finding the right stationary or you're not asking the right women. Better than champagne for two (less expensive also). A luxury hotel suite helps as well.

Just sayin'.

I applied for a job at UPS so I wouldn't have a driver's side door.

When picking up dates, instead of going to the door, I roll down the window and yell "GET IN!"

That looks to me like Jeremy Brett, who in 1984 became what many consider to be THE definitive Sherlock Holmes on British TV. Yes, he quite looks the part, but what he has to do with this thread I don't know.


I think you're right! That's him for sure now that you say so! To be honest though I have no idea what he has to do with this thread!

You did that long before Craig came, didn't you? B)

Ooh, Daniel Craig has finally influenced me! After seeing Daniel with a beard in the CR bonus features, I've already started to grow one for my upcoming summer vacation (I'm off most of August, as colleges are closed). It's even better because I'm blonde and have a fair amount of white hair in my beard, just like Daniel.

Life is good.

I am having trouble uploading pics to CBn...I have some pics of the Ocean Club in Nassau and of Venice (including the Hotel Danielli), Siena, roads at Lake Garda and a distant shot of the marble mountains at Carrara from the highway that leads from Genoa to Pisa in northwestern Italy.

Obviously, CR and QoS have influenced me enough that it took me to those places in 2007 and 2008.

Would love to share the pics.

PS

The Hotel Danielli, at the mouth of the Canal Grande in Venice, is the shot of the very first house Vesper spies while she is steering the yatch...right after Bond sends his resignation e-mail to M. It is also the hotel that Dr Goodhead stays at in Moonraker. The colour of the main building is a light terra-cotta.

*** When I try to "upload" pics it says "...Request Entity Too Large". Shame.

I have decided to get in shape. I have had 2 bond themed bday parties (I turned 21 in 2007 so I had a Vesper and I turned 22 when the 22nd bond film came out Quantum of solace) I also love Texas hold em now and that has become my game of choice.

I take day trips to random offices in Prague just to kill bitter old men.

Seriously, Craig Bond hasn't really much influenced me. I would like to say he's the reason I've been losing weight, but the real reason is I woke up one morning, decided I look piss awful, and set about working on losing weight. Well, got my hair cut before anything. Old hair was train wreck...I guess the only way he's influenced me at all is I tend to walk around like he does in the casino in CR without thinking about it.

I like him as Bond, that's how he has influenced me. But other people around me have learned to appreciate Timothy Dalton and George Lazenby as Bond because of Daniel Craig's more serious approach (they were raised in Pierce Brosnan's era).

Back in 2007 I had joined my local Drama group, and I was given a big part. I was praised a star, and many people thought I was an actor even though I'm a bricklayer!

I have done 4 plays since then and I belive that Daniel Craig has had a large impact on my acting hobby. Even though i have only seen him in Layer Cake and the two Bond films I have studied and watched his acting and it has done me a few favours B). Even though I need to watch Munich and Defiance and maybe Flashbacks Of A Fool. So Daniel Craig has been a massive impact on me. I do now and fashion myself similar to him.

I have been prompted to improve my conditioning just a tad. Plus, I walk around with my watch om my left hand, my left hand in my pocket, and my right is swinging. I part my hair to the right too.

I've cut my very long hair, started getting in shape, changed my wardrobe a bit, and, like Darthbond, have started to walk like Craig.

He hasn't. I prefer Ian Fleming's approach to fitness:

"I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them."
.


my sentiments exactly, ironically enough im still fit enough to do over 10 chin-ups and over twenty push-ups.

I appear to be more like Ian Fleming, or his wife, than Daniel Craig in that I am frighteningly drunk. Daniel looks like he could use a few drinks.

Actually did influence me to take my fitness more seriously. Run pretty much everyday and at the gym three times a week. Also CrossFit is awesome!! It has made a huge difference and I will be in the "best shape of my life" at 40.

I recently bought two (Hugo Boss) suits that have double vents. I noted Bond's wearing double vents at MI6 and in Bolivia in Quantum.

Prior to this I had been exclusively buying single or no vents!

Influence!

DC made me pick up barbells and caring about my physique again. His "I now can bench my own body-weight" has taken me on an odyssey to do just this, for 10 reps (10 x 205 lbs) - I'm only 2 reps away from my goal. Of course, I worked other bodyparts, too.

2 years ago, I was done after 11 reps with 125 lbs, so talk about some serious gains.
