Good name Fender…
I look forward to the book…
In progress mate.
It’s called:
“The spy that tweaked me headlights”…
@OldGreyFox post #58
Nothing sounds the same as James Bond I agree, it’s almost an institution after all these years. However, there is a female derivative of that name, it’s Jamie. I believe another spelling of that female name is Jaimie.
As Mups commented it’s been said by the writer of Bond there will not be a female playing the part so no problem about a future name:
[I]"But there is one thing about which James Bond can rest easy: his manhood. Speaking to the Guardian, 007’s executive producer Barbara Broccoli ruled out any Doctor Who-style gender reinvention for Ian Fleming’s super-spy.
“Bond is male,” she said. “He’s a male character. He was written as a male and I think he’ll probably stay as a male."

Thank God for that Baz, and as long as they don’t have a Gay or Trans Bondy…
Sorry, but someone’s already thought of that:
Jane Blonde: Sensational Spylet
https://www.waterstones.com/book/jane-blonde/jill-marshall/9780330438148
Janey Brown feels like she is practically invisible. With her stick-thin legs, mousy brown hair and grey eyes, no one ever notices her. Then a crazy woman turns up at the school gates, claiming to be Janey’s godmother. According to hip-hop-talking, larger-then-life ‘G-Mamma’, Janey Brown really is something special. She’s Jane Blonde, Sensational Spylet – and it’s time for her first mission…Swapping her too-big school uniform for a silver spysuit, and her battered satchel for a set of amazing gadgets, Janey soon discovers that nothing in her life, or in her past, is as it seems. Her elusive Uncle Solomon happens to be the head of SPI (Solomon’s Politicational Investigations) and the greatest spy the world has ever known. Recruited by the government to work on top-secret Project Crystal Clear, Solomon has made a scientific discovery that could change the world. But now he’s gone missing. Can Jane Blonde get to him first? Or will The Sinerlesse, a rogue spying group with evil purposes (and a very nasty dog), hunt him down and take his secret?
There are 8 books in the series (intended for 9-12 year-olds).
Never mind m’dear.
I heard they have a vacancy in “The Muppets” if that’s any help?
Yes, I quite agree. Better just to stick to the nice-looking, attractive female and the handsome male! I guess though that comment could almost be seen as anti-gay by some! Why does life, or at least everything around me, seem to get more complicated the older I become? Possibly the subject for another thread?
I much prefer the books to the films anyway. Whatever trouble Bond was in - he extricated himself through his own efforts. None of the stupid gadgets that appear in the films. Makes them all the more interesting for me but probably not good cinema.
Its strange, the perception of a character, as a young male it is easy to concentrate on the macho nature of Bond, as a geezer gets older, the eagerness of the supporting Lady characters to avail themselves becomes the main subject of fascination.
Well I want sexy girl Bond. And I took the above post to be lighthearted, sarcastic fun.
Well for the life of me I cannot understand why they would ever want a female Bond.
If they want a female spy then I suggest somebody sits down and writes a female spy movie and calls it something else.
What this is quite simply is a group of women have got together and decided to jump on the women’s rights bandwagon and single out one of the greatest spy’s of all time.
He is always good looking suave and sophisticated and a chauvinist git and always gets the baddies.
The perfect gent in my opinion.
They just can’t except men are better than women at this kind of thing.
We like to do things ‘Proper’ up here in Yorkshire d00d…
Yes why mess with Bond? He’s a man, played by a male actor and that’s it. There are plenty of female secret agent films and women playing assassins etc and James Bond should not be tampered with.
I’m fine with them choosing a black actor but it’s a male role so bollocks to the LGBT brigade who seem intent on taking over the world with their constant whingeing and moaning. Sod 'em.
Seconded…
Not literally…
Thirded! …
