    My Great Aunt and Uncle lived in Gibraltar for a while. They were pestered by a monkey with a hair lip.

    That is all.

    Feels like a very unconventional Bond girl choice. I approve.

    I do like the Volante. A very worthy successor to the DB5.

    Dalton definitely does the angry vengeful side of Bond the best so far.

    Makes me sad that we never got more of Dalton.

    I think Bond's patience with Kara is starting to wear thin.

    Kara doing a sterling job there keeping the plane straight and level.

    It's weaving around like a pissed owl.

    Pushkin is a worthy successor to Gogol.
