Oh, May 6th will be so much fun. Or, more likely, the early hours of May 7th.

Maybe the UK is heading for its own Obama moment?

Anyway, it's so nice and peaceful here I might just sleep. Blissfully unaware of the earth-shattering controversies of the bondverse.

New scoop - the script for Bond 23 is under extreme re-writing. They'll remake YOLT the movie. Bond will trace Blofeld to a hollowed out volcano in Iceland, based on an exceptionally large order for baked beans by SPECTRE's caterers and a dark poison cloud drifting from Iceland towards Europe.

Obama moment? I doubt it. Come 7th May it will be business as usual, I think. In my neck of the woods, though, we are getting more than our fair share of media attention because one of our parliamentary candidates was once placed ahead of Kate Moss in a poll of the world's most attractive women.

As for the volcano ash, yes, I've already commented about this on the "Bond like news" thread. Its that man again!

Sign me up for the club.

Maybe, maybe not. But it's certainly going to be closer than expected.

Oh, splendid! After several years of lurching through these honourable halls of Bond-dom, drunken with joy, I finally stumble upon this secretly hidden lounge. The wonders never cease, do they? Is that a bar over there?

[Skudor]

That is indeed a bar, free for members.

I dare you to find a finer cocktail wench anywhere.

[Skudor]

I'm just going to hide in here for a while. It's so... peaceful. Or is that just because I'm getting a little tipsy?

Skoal!

[Eric Stromberg]

I was already half in the bag when I discovered this lounge. But I'm a friendly drunk and I promise to keep my hands to myself. Perhaps one quick nightcap and then I'll be on my way.

Anyone seen the host--Zorin? Or perhaps that's him passed out in the fireplace. No worries.

This is a bright spot on the forums these days. Someplace to relax and take a much needed break from opinions and constant troll-beatings. It's been tough out there lately!

[Trident]

From what I gather Mr Zorin must be a pretty busy person. Actually, I'm looking for him myself, must hand him this application form, hope he doesn't give me a black ball in exchange...

[AMC Hornet]

Ah, what a room! I love the Buckingham panelling and green leather wing chairs. And the library is as well stocked as the bar! If I promise to park my namesake ride out of sight down the street, may I sit a spell and fill in a membership form?

[Skudor]

Actually there are two firing ranges in the basement. One for trolls and one for troll-bashers. But I can't promise they aren't facing each other. I can say that entry is entirely voluntary (including choice of range); exit depends on how well you dodge bullets.

Cheers!

I think I can do with another Vesper now.

[Zorin Industries]

Of course I am here.

I was interviewing bar staff... amongst other things.

AMC Hornet, you are welcome.

Trident, you are welcome.

Eric Stromberg, you are welcome.

Politics, you are NOT welcome. Unless it is some of the Lounge Of Solace members toasting their own electoral victories in some tin pot islands where coups are not only inevitable, they are most fashionable.

Leave your coats and man-bags with Henric at the door and we will furnish your palette with the finest Calvados.

Matter of course, and thanks for the welcome!

[Skudor]

Oooh - I guess I mentioned politics. Sorry about that. Probably best avoided.

Now how about those Catholic priests?

Only kidding.

I must say Zorin, I didn't expect you to have such a talent in picking bar wenches. Very well done.

I think he meant the little digression I made into the upcoming election.

Anyway, I'll have another Vesper. We're in for a bit of a wait it seems.

Lot's of us are going to need the lounge tonight. If you haven't read the latest Bond 23 news...well just go ahead and line those Vespers up like shots.

[DamnCoffee]

Anyone mind if I drop in and join you guys for a few Vespers? I'm in need of a good drink right now. What with, the 'latest development'.

[elizabeth]

Hi, everyone! I brought comfort food!

[Eric Stromberg]

Hi, everyone! I brought comfort food!

Thanks, elizabeth. I suppose a light snack might be nice, as long as it doesn't dilute any of the pain killer in my stomach...

[Vauxhall]

It appears I'm almost two years late to the party. Amazing that this is the first time someone left the door open.

[Guy Haines]

Good grief, by the time Bond 23 is released, my namesake might be advising not only the current Prime Minister, but the one after that, and the one after that!

[AMC Hornet]

Looks like I secured my invite just in time....

I remember receiving a newsletter from the U.S. JB fan club back in '91 or so, announcing "Bond 17: Nowheresville." I thought that was the title of the film until I read the body of the article. It looks like we could be in for another similar wait.

The 2 1/2 years between TMWTGG and TSWLM seemed interminable to me at the time. The 5 1/2 between LTK and GE was so long I was actually desperate enough to develop an appreciation for about 1/2 of Casino Royale '67.

One thing we don't have to worry about - however long the wait, we'll still see Daniel Craig again at the end of it (remember, BB said he was making 'the next hundred").

[Zorin Industries]

I must say Zorin, I didn't expect you to have such a talent in picking bar wenches. Very well done.

Yes, it's not my first port of call but there are some virtues I still recognise in a lady - her taste in shoes...her ability to light up a room by talking herself down... oh, and a genetic in-built ability to be a designated driver.

It appears I'm almost two years late to the party. Amazing that this is the first time someone left the door open.

That'll be our last doorman - or Dormant as we called him "below stairs".

Guy Haines, you are welcome.

Leave those thoughts at the cloakroom with Henric, AMC Hornet.

We must not talk shop here.

Now - who wants a ticket for our upcoming Charles Gray Tribute Act bash on the last Saturday of the month? I've heard wondrous things about this little piece of cabaret gold.

[SecretAgentFan]

Hi, guys. Considering the latest developments now really is the time to celebrate the Lounge of Solace. The developments of the last weeks left me a bit shaken and stirred, I´m afraid.

Well take a seat by the faux Swiss fire and have a bowl of cashews on the house.

[DAN LIGHTER]

Are you still running naked Wednesdays here?

[SecretAgentFan]

Thanks, Zorin. Usually, I´m an early riser but somehow I overslept the news of this lounge´s existence. What a wonderful oasis in the middle of chaos and panic.

[Zorin Industries]

No we are most definitely not.

103 years of service and respite will not be reduced to nipples and bits in people's faces (unless it is Cabaret Night when we are not against the odd nipple on display, as long as it is on-stage and accompanied by a rousing chorus of Jerusalem).
