Vauxhall. It's my seventh favourite London station. More relevantly, it's the area of London where MI6 headquarters is located. Neither of those are particularly creative reasons admittedly, so I just assume it stuck in my head when I first logged in six years ago!


I just found out today that i've got a job in London that i interviewed for, in Vauxhall. It's the building next to MI-6 headquarters! Everytime i walk past i will feel like a secret agent.

Why is it your 'seventh favourite?' It's a bit grim, if truth be told...

Can't help but think of you now Vauxhall whenever I go past the station or MI6.

Scary, I know - word association with stations and Secret Service locations to members of a Bond forum!

All the best with the new job!

But given that your new employers are right beside MI6, can you be sure they aren't a front company for an evil secret organization or enemy intelligence agency?

Nah! I bet it's just an ordinary firm called Universal Exports.

That's it! That dreary-looking building on the far left of the picture, that's where i'll be spending the majority of my time for the forseeable (whilst trawling CBn during quiet periods, naturellement).

What action-packed lunch-time walks i'm going to have...

Congratulations on the job - great part of town to work! I'm pleased to say I don't actually have a list of favourite London stations. Vauxhall does happen to be a stop on my route into town, but seventh was just a nominal number :)

Obviously, I choose my name in honour of the unassuming and sadly unsung hero of the otherwise pretty dull novel Diamonds Are Forever: the medical doctor half way across California from Spectreville who patches Bond up after his unfortunate encounter with Mr Wint and Mr Kidd’s eighty percenter Brooklyn stomping boots.

Incidentally, sharing the good doctor’s profession I’m impressed as well as slightly puzzled about the way he got Bond back in working order using just a mass of surgical tape, some mercurochrome and a huge breakfast. I suspect additional generous helpings of morphine might have helped things along, and be quite up the early literary Bond’s alley as well.


Oh, and of course it’s one those loveably quirky character names of Fleming’s as well. As good a reason as any to use it.

Well, I have always assumed it went without saying that Bond washed down his huge breakfast with morphine, and maybe just a couple of pegs of benzedrine for measure :)

I actually chose this name based on Fleming's inclusion of a double-digit double-oh in Moonraker, and I just chose the next highest number. Hadn't actually read Benson's TWINE novelisation where he created a 0012 that had been killed (lame).

Ha! Just kidding. I'm actually a member of the Service. You'd seriously think I'd make this designation up for an internet forum? We problem solvers have more respect for our department than that.

Hmpf. Forums.

Good point, and I suppose there might be room for a secret ingredient or two in that already outrageous Scrambled eggs recipe of Bond’s.

But anyways,

Fun topic!

I picked mine for a couple of simple reasons:

1. I thought it would be cool to use all my initials & add 007 to the end of it.
2. Its so simple I wouldn't forget it.

I used Iceskater101 because it was my gamertag on xbox so it stuck. I got that from the fact that I figure skated since I was 6 and I don't know why the 101 was on there because iceskater was taken so yeah. I don't have anything in my name that relates to James Bond. I am not that cool.

I started off as DaveBond19 but when the name of the 19th Bond film was released, I changed it to DaveBondTheWorldIsNotEnough.

After TWINE was released, I changed it to DaveBond20, and later became DaveBondDieAnotherDay.

Then changed it to DaveBond 21........and after that I got lazy.....

I suggest you go straight to DaveBond50. That should buy you some time.

And here I thought you were a Guiness addict. As Pierce would put it, that's what I've been doing wrong all those years, eh...

My CBn user name has no Bond connection. "Golden Claw" was a fictional super villain I had created many years ago, much before I discovered Bond. Somebody told me later that the name "Golden Claw" does have a Bondian ring to it.
