They are dropping like flies at the moment

My favourite Bond , R.I.P Sean.

[RED-DOG]

I read all the Bond Books when I was a kid, and in the movies Sean Connery was 'My' Bond.



Somewhere in my teens, I underwent a startling metamorphosis and became Attercliffe’s answer to James Bond. The Bri Nylon of my work shirt became Sea Island cotton, and the shilling mix from the local chippy was now lobster thermadore. I tended to narrow my eyes a lot during that period, and I often allowed the suspicion of a cruel smile to briefly wrinkle the small white scar on my tanned cheek.
Mentally transforming my battered ex gas board Transit van into an Aston Martin was a bit of a stretch, even for my hyperactive imagination, but the sight of my unstable passenger seat tipping my even more unstable girlfriend into the rear of the van every time I attempted to wheel spin away from the traffic lights did much to reinforce the impression of an ejector mechanism.


RIP Mr Bond.

Your post about Attercliffe made me think of going to Attercliffe Baths every Saturday morning at 6.30am in the mid Seventies.

We used to go to Attercliffe slipper baths for a 'proper' wash once a month whether we needed it or not.

Fabulous tribute to Sean Connery on the Beeb last night. Well worth the watch on iPlayer if you loved his Bond - and all the subsequent work that followed. A true post-Hollywood film icon. RIP Sean.
