Old adversaries
Sir, Your obituary (Jan 19) of Mr Justice Blofeld rightly referred to his fine sense of humour. When he first sat in Winchester a barrister called Richard Bond stood up to open the first case. Mr Justice Blofeld began to stroke the white ermine on the sleeve of his High Court judge’s robes as if stroking a cat. He then said with a smile: “We meet at last, Mr Bond.”
Sir John Royce

Not one of his best.

A mocked up cover for a John Gardner James Bond novel called Crowd Strike, like the provider in the current global IT disaster.

That's definitely one of my favourite John Gardner Bond continuation novels!

New mobile Lock Screen #JamesBond what an amazing book so far, more like a Thomas Harris serial killer thriller for the first half, now the second half is going into more familiar Roger Moore style Bond territory, if it keeps up it may be my new favourite John Gardner book….

He also mentions Paul Daniels in Confessor (1995) too. John Gardner was himself once a stage magician for the American Red Cross Entertainment Division during World War II.

You can say what you like about Ian Fleming, but was he able to shoehorn a reference to Paul Daniels into a James Bond? No. John Gardner clearly winning on points here (Win, Lose or Die, page 266)

Reading the fifth John Gardner Bond book “Nobody Lives Forever” and apart from the assassination attempt by mutated vampire bat (I kid you not 🤣) it has a very Dalton/Craig feel - for the first time in the Gardner run I’m not “seeing” Sir Rog as #JamesBond

Happy Birthday to Ian Fleming. An influence on me in my (very young) youth and who is still a major figure in my life. I'm still pinching myself that his heirs and estate entrusted me to play in his sandbox first in the 1990s and once again today. In many ways I wrote THE HOOK AND THE EYE for him.

@dragonpol.bsky.social I will always be proud of being born the same day of the year as Ernst Stavro Blofeld (but a different year). That is also the day of the year when Ian Fleming was born.

The Bondologist Blog @dragonpol.bsky.social · 23/03/2025

It's great to have a Bond related birthday. I myself have the same birthday as Sir Roger Moore (albeit a different year) which is nice. He's one of my favourite Bond actors.
