Champagne: Dom or Bollinger or the odd glass of Pierre. Dom - '88 or '95-'96. Bollinger - 79, 82, 86 RD - '96 Grand Anni. Pierre - Love any of the early 90's Rose.

Breakfast: Presently - If I'm awake early enough - two eggs, over easy, whole wheat toast, 3-4 slices of thick cut bacon, side of cottage cheese and there better be tabasco on the table. If not bacon, a good lean thick cut of smoked ham. Black hot coffee and orange juice. Marmalade or Blueberry jam.

Women: Tall. Brunette's and red-heads with long hair. Their own life and some real world experience. Their own money and career. Active, but not an exercise freak. NO BAGGAGE - and I'm not talking Louis Vitton here. Traveled. Passion. Able to keep up and contribute - physically and mentally. Cards on the table. You got an issue? Here's a tissue. I'm not a therapist or a mind reader. Say it or don't, but if you don't I'm not going to play 20 bloody questions. At 36, I KNOW what I want...and I REALLY know what I DON'T want.

[Bryce (003)]

Apologies 008....wait...Genrewriter operates under the number 008....soooo

Two 008's?



Anyway, yet another good man in Station C.

[Joyce Carrington]

Lady: 009 (Uh, I guess that one was a given)

Yup, saw that one coming from miles away.

Partner in Crime: 004, 009 (both of 'em)

Damn straight.

All right, here goes...

Clothes: too many different ones to name. Actually, I have no idea.

Shoes: *checks shoes* This one says Le Coq Sportif. Alrighty then...

Watch: *checks watch* Sinner. Never heard of it.

Drink: Coke. The original stuff.

Food: Almost anything. Well, Italian is quite nice.

Dream Car: BMW Z3, GoldenEye. (with you on this, Qwerty)

Breakfast: none... or a sandwich

I don't really care about brands. Whatever looks nice... it really varies with me.

[Jim]

Watch: For everyday wear and tear, either of the Breitlings. For dress, the Patek Philippe my father-in-law gave me for my 25th birthday.

Suits: Made for me. I want it designed for me, not for the designer or its shareholders. There is no greater luxury than one's own suit. Accordingly, if spending, it's either Henry Poole or Kilgour, French and Stanbury. If not spending, there's a retired chap who works from his home in North Oxford and I'm not giving you the name because I'm selfish like that. Really, truly, there is nothing finer than having one's clothes made for one. Cheaper than many "brands", too. Psychologically, one cannot afford to go mass-market with a suit. Horrifically vulgar.

Shirts: Hilditch & Key and Thomas Pink.

Cufflinks: Longmires, obviously.

Ties: As suggested by the tailor, usually Italian silk. My only stipulation is that they bear no pattern. Ugh. Patterned ties are the work of Satan.

Night attire: Derek Rose.

Shoes: Slight problem with only having one foot (too long a story for those who don't know), so this should really be "shoe" - John Lobb, or Church's. I do sometimes wear the prosthetic foot so I do buy pairs, just in case anyone was wondering why I would only buy one shoe.

Trainers: No, never. I would feel cheapened inside.

Casual "shoe": JP Tods.

Jeans: Good grief no. I see no reason to lower myself. The children wear them, but they'll grow out of them, both literally and metaphorically. Indian linen trousers that I can only seem to find in a few shops in Rome and Naples are about the limit.

Shaving: Trumper's soap, Trumper's razor. l'Occitane en Provence is an acceptable alternative.

Smell: Acqua di Parma, Trumper's Extract of Limes or Penhaligon's Endymion.

Coffee: As with Bryce, JBM - Langford Brothers Original JBM if it must come ready ground (everything else tastes like firelighters) but there's a deli close by that sells the beans, very reasonable price too. The Mother tends to smuggle in a kilo or two when she visits from Jamaica; almost worth the hassle of her visiting. (Note "almost"). If there has to be anything else, Illy at a push (I write that to keep the wife happy). Always triple espresso. If you have children, you'll understand why.

Beer: Guinness. For my slight iron deficiency. Honest. Otherwise, no lager, just bitter and not particularly fussy about that except I tend to stay away from the mass brewery effluent.

Wine: France for red; France, South Africa and Australia for white.

Drink: Cointreau. Yes, I know that's very camp. But me like. Sweet tooth. Can't drink whisky - through choice, not medical reasons.

Champagne: Never pink, always vintage and preferably Krug or vintage Widow. Non-vintage Widow is an obscenity. Cristal is like bleach.

Breakfast: Coffee. Orange juice - preferably feshly squeezed but Tropicana or its equivalent will do if there's really no option. If in season, figs from the tree in the garden (if it ever fruits again). More coffee. Once I've made the children's breakfasts, somehow I can't face anything to eat but usually need more coffee to try to summon up any enthusiasm for how they've managed to destroy the house again.

Water: San Pelligrino.

Steak: Thick, rare, bloody. Flesh.

Food: We eat as a family, so we tend to eat what and when the children eat. There are limits - mashed up baby food isn't that appealing. But it also means we can wean the children away from rubbish. Perhaps I should have phrased that as "the children eat what we eat". Bread I tend to avoid - bulk carbohydrates aren't the easiest things to burn off in a wheelchair. Pasta is unavoidable.

Women: Dr Isabella Stewart, now and forever. Everyone else can bugger off right now. (As if there's a queue)

Children: All of them.

Favourite Cities: Oxford, London, Paris, Munich, Naples, Rome and Venice. Having travelled and seen, there's little purpose in going anywhere else.

Hotel: Villa Cimbrone nr Amalfi. This is the most extraordinary place I've ever seen, ever stayed; you must go.

Holiday destination: North shore, Jamaica; although as my mother lives there, not so much a holiday as a necessity.

Partner in Crime: Whichever of the children needs to hide from their mother when she's on the warpath.

Car: I don't drive any more, but largely encouraged by me, the Mrs has just acquired a Mazda RX-8 which looks particularly fine; at least it's a bit more inspiring than the Ford Galaxy thing we tend to bomb around in. The wife approves of Maseratis.

Firearm: I see no reason to possess a handgun for non-military use, other than some sort of mental retardation. Which, intrinsically, isn't "reason".

Sport/recreation: Swimming. Winding up the children something rotten. Changing nappies. Used to do wheelchair basketball but that can be very violent, especially when the ball crashes into one's nads.

Gadget: Espresso machine. Never lets me down. As for other gadgets, we've been married for thirteen years so draw your own conclusions.

Fussy old twit, aren't I?

[Genrewriter]

Clothes: Generally a mix of Eddie Bauer casual wear as well as khaki slacks from the same brand. Russell Athletic T-shirts, white socks. For more formal occasions, khaki slacks or jeans and a light blue or solid blue short-sleeved button-down shirt.

Watch: Timex Expedition.

Tie: Either a red Claybrooke or a black Jones New York. Worn infrequently and usually under protest.

Shoes: For everyday wear, Court Classics purchased from Cost-Co. For more formal attire, a pair of black Deer Stags.

Drink: Usually Wild Cherry Pepsi or Sierra Mist if it's soda. On hoit days I occasionally enjoy an Arizona Ice Tea but only in the can. Otherwise, sometimes fruit juice. The occasional glass of wine or non-alcoholic beer comes into play on rare occasions.

Food: Mostly pasta and Mexican food. No fast food outside of the occasional trip to McDonalds and a rather pronounced taste for El Pollo Loco. Breakfast usually is sparse and tends to be a special breakfast burrito of my own design. Quickly prepared in less than ten minutes and consumed in roughly the same amount of time.

Razor: A Gillette Mach 3.

Car: A silver 1993 Nissan Altima (my own personal Silver Beast) but I prefer faster, more sporty cars.

Steak: I prefer a nice cut of New York Strip steak medium rare with plenty of garlic powder applied to both sides prior to cooking.

Women: Brunettes with agood sense of humor and independence. Tolerance for wisecracks is good, an affinity for their own wisecracks is even better.

Favorite cities: San Francisco, Glendale, San Diego

Gadget: My Space Pen and the George Foreman Grill.

Sports/Recreation: I enjoy walking and basketball. I also occasionally drive down to the public golf course by my place and spend some time on the driving range.

[SnakeEyes]

Watch: that tells the time and works accurately.

Suits: Genrally not, but ones that fit.

Shirts: See suits.

Ties: Fairly plain, but maybe 1 logo.

Night attire: Boxers.

Shoes: I wear boots actually.

OK, Boots: CATs or a similar clone.

Trainers: Bad for your feet.

Jeans: I'm wearing them right now.

Other 'legwear': Cargo/military type trousers (especially for my job).

Shaving: A sharp razor.

Smell: Right guard!

Coffee: Hate this crap.

Beer: Guinness. The black sweetness can't be contended.

Wine: Liquid in a bottle.

Drink: Water, Milk, canned carbonated liquid, Tea. In that order!

Champagne: See wine.

Breakfast: Some food.

Water: Tap

Food: A nice greasy meal. Heart attack ala carte. (My exercise regime makes up for it)

Women: Willing and plentiful.

Children: Eventually...maybe.

Favourite Places: The great outdoors (moors, mountains, forests and fields).

Holiday destination: The cheapest.

Car: MGBGT (circa 1970s model). Gunmetal with black leather interior and wallnut trim/dash/center console.

Firearm: Only a fool trusts their life to a weapon. Learn martial arts! However, when you have to 'reach out' to someone nothing beats a Browning High-Power MK3. Well quite alot does actually.

Sport/recreation: Martial arts, programming, whittling my life away on bond forums.

Gadget: My leather belt. My lower half would feel naked without it.

[BONDFINESSE 007]

i have never been one to buy in to all that brand name non sense myself

[Loomis]

Water: San Pelligrino.

Snap.

Favourite Cities: London, Paris, Beijing (before it was ruined by McDonalds, Starbucks, etc.), Tokyo, Seoul.

Holiday destination: Best holidays ever were probably in Vietnam and South Korea. Happy to go just about anywhere I haven't been.

Can't be bothered to answer any of the others.

[stromberg]

Watch: Swatch (FRWL)

Clothes: Levi

[Simon]

I'm not very brand loyal so can't really lay claim to any affinity with Bond, which I guess is the purpose of the thread. However;

Clavin Klein - I do seem to have amassed some of his products, sunglasses, watch, aftershave and clothing. They specıalıse in clean, modern, dateless, lines that appear to align with my outlook on life. As such I will tend to see what they're offering before widening my search to the entire world.

Cyrus - their hifi suits me, quality reproduction, plain lines, simple, decidedly purposeful and moderately affordable, depending on one's idea of what constitutes affordability for music boxes.

VW Corrado - I swear by this car. Practicality, dateless, classic, power and lines. Gets me from A to B with an unarguable efficiency. Can't really decide with what to replace it so until then, I will satisfy myself with V6 2.9l of power.

As for the rest, brands come and go and can't really be commented upon for staying power.

[BONDFINESSE 007]

i have never been one to buy in to all that brand name non sense myself

ok i take that back because i do fall into that trap where pepsi and coke are concerned but thats where i draw the line

[Jim]

Aha! So which are you?

Dream Car: Porsche
Friends: Polite, thrustworthy, kind
Breakfast: Toast and hot chocolate
Sports: Swimming (active), football (inactive) and multi sport
Favourite places: Sweden!!!
