@very-rusty said"The catchphrase first appears in the novel Diamonds Are Forever (1956), though Bond himself does not actually say it until Dr. No (1958), where his exact words are "shaken and not stirred."
Seven actors in total have portrayed Bond in film. Following Connery's portrayal, David Niven, George Lozengy, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Bronson and Daniel Craig have assumed the role. These screen versions have retained many traits from Fleming's depiction, although some of Bond's less politically correct traits have been dropped, such as his treatment of women and smoking.

Ian Fleming introduced the fictional character James Bond in his books and my absolute favourite in the the 007 films is Daniel Craig.

@torunn saidAlthough verbal intercourse is a big part of what attracts patrons to this establishment the main attraction has been, in the past, our vast array of drinks and nosh. I have decided to open yet another room, calling it the “so what do you think?” room where the main attraction is just that..intercourse, of the verbal variety.🤔👍

I think it's a splendid idea.
@great-big-stees saidMake sure you employ a couple of bouncers if things start to get out of hand.

@torunn saidYes, that’s it and you can even bring a soap box….if you’d like. Please, no megaphones though.🤔👍

I remember once in Speakers Corner in London, a man brought a wooden box to stand on, and he kept saying: Please don't kick the box, don't kick the box. Not to me, to all of the people around him.

@torunn saidI think that maybe, people used to stand on boxes that were used to hold soap when expressing their particular views on their chosen subject and so the term “soap box” was born. On the subject of London’s speakers corner, I was there in the mid 60s on my “tour” when from the crowd I heard someone say, “Hey….Steve” I turned around and there was an old school mate from grade school I hadn’t seen in about 10+ years. It really is a small world.👍

@great-big-stees saidI use to get a little nervous before hockey game or a boxing match, but used that nervous energy to my advantage. I don't know how fear would be a good thing.
Fear is sometimes a good thing VR.👍

@very-rusty saidFear is a good thing, it raises our adrenaline level and makes us act quickly when necessary. Without fear we could be in danger.

@torunn saidIf I happened to see fear in my opponents eyes in a boxing match, I knew it would be an easy win. 🙂

I believe nervous energy can get the adrenaline going pretty good. I would actually throw up before a Hockey game, then I was ready to go. It got to be an on going joke did our goalie throw up yet. No one could talk to be before a game. During the game was fine.

Nothing to do with drinking never drank before a hockey game or the night before just nervous energy. I played goal so if we lost I felt it was my fault. We never lost a game my last year. Most of the guys on the team went on to play Junior Hockey, I went to work.

Bill Russell of the old Boston Celtics used to throw up before all his big games. He won 11 NBA championships in 13 years
