007 The Living Daylights

[Nayra Waddles]

JamesBond: *Stuff* my orders! I only kill professionals. That girl didn't know one end of her rifle from the other. Go ahead. Tell M what you want. If he fires me, I'll thank him for it. Whoever she was, it must have scared the living daylights out of her.

The living daylights was the 15th Bond film and the first to star Timothy Dalton. In this Bond adventure 007 pilots the icon of 80s brawn, the Aston Martin V8. Equipped here with skis and a rocket motor to escape down a ski slope, as well as missiles in the front grille, this is one Aston you really don't want to mess with!

Stress: The confusion created when one's mind overrides the body's basic desire to choke the living daylights out of some jerk who desperately deserves it.

A place to scream at the world when you need to but can't do it at the jerk(s) who need it.

Don't know about that, but sometimes it's quite possible to pay a visit to said jerk & have words in their "shell-like" ears

If that's "aimed " in my direction Sirius you know where i live mate , the only house in the cul - de - sac with wheelchair ramps , just like you and " word in their shell like " i've got a saying . 1st hits " free " then you pay :-) , but won't drink in the village only one pub now and it's run by a a-hole . Lot cheeper to drink & smoke at home lot less hassles alround :-) ( ain't paying nearly 5 for a pint !!! , had my leg amputated NOT a frontal lobotomy )

So the lot of you only want to choke each other and nobody IRL.

Was going to post something about ... but that might be too identifiable. Suffice it to say when they do the NUMBER ONE thing they can't do ... and its a doozy!

Microsoft releasing a new update. everything on your computer works before the update. After the update some software is broken, and so instead of walking up to your Microsoft representative and demanding an answer as to why they broke things and what they're going to do to fix that, you walk up to the software developers and demand they fix the stuff Microsoft broke!

I sympathise with you Jord - The number of times I hear on the phone someone saying a word that sounds like "ai'ee'" when either "eighteen" or "eighty" would be appropriate - the terminal vowel sound is so important in many situations...

Yes, well, in this case it was about an appeal to get donations together for a 16 year old girl with a difficult to treat form of cancer, one that isn't treated in the UK, so they needed a million pounds for treatment in the US + aftercare. In the initial call for help the announcer said something like "she is 16 but if she doesn't receive care she won't reach ***" where for me the *** always sounded like 80, but they meant of course 18.

Especially in these cases I feel you need to articulate expertly, there should be no questions asked, no doubt about the message you try to convey. Yes, I did report it to the station (Radio Caroline). At least the appeal has gotten half of the needed cost together, so now the spot has changed to say that she is going for treatment in July, but that more money is still needed.

I started to wonder in what kind of criminal environments you do walkabout then, but then I remembered, you're an American and pointing guns at other Americans and using them on each other is a daily pass time. :)

It also included a helicopter.

Well if people will stand on street corners with a rolled up trouser leg, they do tend to attract certain admirers.

Really, that is TMI about your secret voyeurism. Pastries likely set you off too.

In any case my loving neighbors did the right thing as they weren't expecting me at that hour and not driving the company vehicle which never goes to my house. But Mr. petrol in the face ........ 1 2 3 4 5 ... 9 10.

Service Advisor Robert. Really?! Bust the trim strip on the seat for the warranty repair of the cable harness that catches the car on fire and not say anything? Then forget to reset the tire pressure monitor when your rotate the tires? Did you actually change the oil? Now I have to check and there are impressions of my fingerprints on your neck.

"The Living Daylights" is a short story written by Ian Fleming featuring his fictional secret agent James Bond. It was included in the 1966 short story collection Octopussy and The Living Daylights.

Fleming originally titled "The Living Daylights" as "Trigger Finger", although when it first appeared, in the The Sunday Times colour supplement of 4 February 1962, it was under the title of "Berlin Escape". It was also published in June 1962 issue of the American magazine Argosy under the same name.

James Bond is on the famous Centaury Firing Range at Bisley, where he is testing a rifle with an infrared scope. The rifle he is using is an American made .308 caliber International Experimental Target rifle. A five shot magazine that should not produce any fade at five hundred yards has replaced the usual single bolt action. The Chief Range Officer is pleased with the results, as Bond is consistently getting bull's-eyes even in the fading light.

When he is finished, Corporal Menzies comes from the Pavilion of the Gun Club and dismantles the rifle and its stand. Bond tells him to tell the armourer that it is a very fine weapon, and when the Corporal says he is finding his own way back to London, he wishes him goodnight.

Bond travels to West Berlin, where he settles in to a small apartment overlooking the crossing site. He works with a Secret Service desk jockey stationed in Berlin, Paul Sender, as his liaison and spotter, whom he dislikes, he doesn't like the mission to shoot somebody in cold blood, and waiting the several days of the escape window wears on him.

What he does like is the blonde cellist in the orchestra that sets up in the East Berlin building Bond expects the sniper to use each night to practice, developing a long-distance crush on her as he observes her each night.

On the last night, the agent finally begins his escape. Bond spots Trigger at the window, and is shocked that Trigger is the blonde cellist. She just starts to fire before Bond shoots the rifle out of her hand. Sender notices that Bond held his fire briefly and deliberately failed to complete the mission of killing Trigger, and promises to write him up for it. The sullen Bond insists that he's broken Trigger's nerve for the business anyway by scaring the living daylights out of her, but tells Sender to write him up, and he hopes he loses his job anyway.

The method of using the noise of the orchestra to cover the crossing over no man's land, was inspired by Pat Reid's escape from Colditz prisoner of war camp, with two escapers having to run across a courtyard under the cover of the noise from an orchestra

As background research to the story, Fleming corresponded with Captain E.K. Le Mesurier, secretary of the National Rifle Association at Bisley for information and to correct some of the more specialist areas of knowledge required for sniper shooting.
