Honor and Steed. ” is that a pistol in your pocket”?

Just in case the euphoria of George’s release has made you loose sight of normality. 

Just in case you thought, that banning of beaches, gatherings, pubs, clubs, restaurants would reign for ever. That the elimination of frivolity and fun were the new normal. That Maypole dancing, (if there were Maypoles) was banned for EVER! That dwarf throwing,(Banned)  cracker, night, (Banned) and Two up, (Banned) were ever likely to return,  there is more sadness. 

Not Cornavirus Silly

Not the cessation of shopping as a complete life existence, Dumbo

Not, the fee paid for publishing rights to Georges memoir, “In Rome, I fiddle’, 

No! None of that, but something way way more profound. 

Honor Blackman is no longer with us. 

Honor’s gone you ghasp? 

Honor’s romp with Sean

Yes, there’s only one sheila, who can claim an entire name to her own. 

Well….. that and Bridget, and Sophia, and I spose in a pinch Doris, But what Honor did to civilisation is beyond contradiction. 

Honor, like Ursula, (sorry that’s aother one) had a huge impact on very weighty issues. 

She wrestled with Steed in the Avengers. 

She was proficcient in Judo, arm wrestling and stable tossing. 

And “she”, you might say is that the cats’ mother?. Because she was the first ever filmic ‘Pussy’!

Honor as “Pussy”. She also auditioned for the role of “Chesty”.

She famously tossed Sean Connery for Goldfinger. And he famously tossed her off in the same film. In the end she’s probably succumbed to Bonds’ unfailing charm. That’s what life entails when you assume the character of ‘Pussy Galore’. And dont forget Pussy had her loyal band of pilots to command in “Operation Grand-Slam”. And if we remember the plot, the nuclear device was supplied to Goldfinger by the Peoples Republic of China. Hell-bent on destroying western capitalism. 

Good thing Ian Fleming wrote Fiction. That would never ever happen in real life. 

Honor searching for a needle

Still Honor had a great career. Can’t think of any other film she was ever in, but her biography, ‘Call me Pussy”, was a huge hit, and her sequel, “Up to Pussy’s Bow”, a best seller. Sadly though her final volume in which she describes her fascination with underwater exploration; ’Pussy-Diver’ never achieved the sales success of her previous works. Nor her crime novel, “ Who fingered Pussy”? A shortcoming not forseen by her publishers after it was withdrawn from sale following complaints from the feline welfare society. 

“Little Tony’ auditioning

‘Little John ” auditioning

Still she left big boots to fill, and no other Bond Girl, excepting Barbara Bach, Grace Jones, or Jane Seymour, or Britt Eckland, or Tatiana Romanova ever had names quite as silly as Pussy’s though, Plenty O’toole, Xenia Onatopp or Holly Goodhead, come pretty close. 

Pre-release ” Brown-finger” publicity poster.

We have it from reliable sources that the Catholic Education Office, flushed with the victory of George Pells testimony over little people were trialing the development of a “Bond Boy” in order to change gender stereotypes. This forward thinking initative is very much in the hands of the producers. We wish them luck in selecting a likely Bond-Boy from the several names submittted to us. We however, were not aware of the “open criteria” for age being introduced after a submission from the equal opportunity board and glad that for family audiences worldwide, there’ll be rejoicing for either “Little Tony”, “Little Johnnie”, or “Little Andrew” being up to the mark. Any of them will be outstanding in their new character role as “Santas Little Helper” in the new release “Brown-finger”, which promises to be a Real HIT. The plot is intricate and thriling in true Bond tradition, and if we have time to summarise, it deals with an espionage ring,  a Cardinals ring finger, and Santas Little helpers ring”. 

It has a Wagnerian touch to it. 

Don’t you think?
