Best thing James Bond hasn't done yet...

Greetings TRF,

After lurking around all those James Bond threads I started to wonder if there's anything he hasn't done in his quite long and impressive career. Let yourselves go ladies and gentlemen!

I'll start: I've never seen James Bond climbing up a stair, missing a step and looking around nervously to make sure nobody noticed it (y'all know what I'm talking about, we all did this at least once)!

It would fit very well with his straw in his cup of Vodka Martini...

They were the hors d'oeuvres when he had a piece of that goat head in Octopussy (or was it a sheep?).

Looks like tonight you're more like a monkey and a half!

Craig, tell me, have you ever seen James Bond brushing his teeths?

Never seen him get ketchup on his cheek, nor get a poppy seed stuck in his teeth.

To my knowledge, never walked out of the mens room with toilet paper stuck on his shoe.

Have the bad guy catch him, NOT tell him his master plan, NOT take him all the way to his secret layer, NOT think of some elaborate way to kill him then leave him alone to escape...

Instead catch him, put a Browning High-Power to his temple and BA-DA-BING... Blow his brains out!

Brosnan has his tailor come to the hotel in Die Another Day.

I seem to remember Moor having his tailor call too (and rejecting a tie for being "a little frantic") but can't remember the movie offhand.

Verdad, verdad! But, unless the holy Grail Connery drank from can make him thirty-odd again, that's no bad thing IMHO!

Good choices guys! Thinking about it, I don't think I've ever seen him using his watch to actually look at the time...

While not a "car" he does pull his light aircraft in to a service station and tell the guy to "fill her up" at the beginning of Octopussy!

We'd like to interrupt this thread for a special announcement! Apparently, an aircraft isn't a car!

Fine then Mr. "let's doubt about Carl's greatness and knowledge because we're secretly jealous of him", have you ever seen or heard James singing "Sweet Home Alabama" and playing drums with his hands on his steering wheel while driving on a highway?

No "secretly" about it, mate!

And, I must admit, you've got me knackered on the "sweet home" thing! Closest I could get was "underneath de mango tree, me honey and me..."

You want what was called MI6 (now SIS)...

MI5 only deals with internal UK matters. You'd likely find yourself in a travel lodge in Bradford!
