James

I prefer the '53 myself...

About Me

I live alone (except for my housekeeper May... she's a treasure) in a small flat in Chelsea, just off King's Road (please say nothing of this to Messrs. Goldfinger, Blofeld, Dr. No, et al). I work for a company called, ahem... Universal Export, the managing director of which is a fascinating bloke known as 'M.' Our office is near Regent's Park. My work is of a dangerous and somewhat secretive nature... in all probability my guardian angel will be due for holiday and I shall one day be killed in the line of duty. I'm an expert pistol shot, boxer and knife-thrower. I speak French, German and a smattering of Japanese. I take ridiculous pleasure in what I eat and drink... I suppose it comes partly from being a bachelor, but mostly from my habit of taking a lot of trouble over details. .. MySpaceScripts Profile Editor

My Interests

Fast cars... Baccarat... making love... drinking and eating well. Vodka martinis (medium dry and shaken, not stirred); Brioni suits; Mooreland's cigarettes (I buy a special Balkan and Turkish mixture-- smoke three packs daily); Aston Martin automobiles; Walther firearms; Rolex watches; champagne (especially the '53 Dom Perignon or the '69 Bollinger). I appreciate good food and recognize the best wines; my orders in restaurants frequenty extract compliments from waiters and sommeliers. Ladies... I fancy black velvet against a sunburnt skin.

Music:

Anything by John Barry, Monty Norman, Nancy Sinatra, Shirley Bassey, Anthony Newley, Tom Jones, or Matt Munro. Can't listen to the 'Live and Let Die' bloke unless I'm wearing earmuffs.

Movies:

I'm partial to Dr. No; You Only Live Twice; From Russia With Love; Goldfinger; Thunderball; Diamonds Are Forever; Darby O'Gill and the Little People; Marnie. And while Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is an enjoyable childrens' movie... can't anyone see Baron Bomburst is really that wanker GOLDFINGER in disguise?

Television:

I don't watch the telly a great deal...

Books:

Most of Ian Fleming's work; I also enjoy books by Richard Usborne, John Buchan, and Donford Yates.
