    Awesome! If 'A Little' Eccentric

    Thread count=1,007.

    ... but I - 007? Hardly ... I ain't no James Bond, , I'm nothing at all like Roger Moore. Oh ... there may, perhaps, be a passing resemblance to [the older] Sean Connery in my avatar!

    So - determined to find out more - I decided to look into the origins of the code name, 007. And ... here then, are a few definitions for anyone who is interested:

    www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=007

    Whilst it might be tempting to compare myself with the 2nd description listed,
    ... in reality, I'm much too old - lo~ng past my "sell-by" date - for such capers.

    ... yes! But ... ... sometimes it's refreshing to indulge in a good laugh at ourselves.

    Thanks, Steve. And you're also right in saying it takes a lot of time, thought
    +
    not least ... research.

    Being retired - as I am - helps make the task a lot easier though, admittedly!

    Nice one Arthur

    Keep up the good work. It's rewarding when you can keep learning.

    BTW, I used to fly from London to Tokyo on BA007 (The James Bond flight)
    Made a huge difference to the old long,long flight via Anchorage
