hiawatha Group: Members Posts: 2391 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: Sep. 02 2005, 11:41 Here's a silly poll. Pierce Brosnan has bowed out of the James Bond role. How about Mike Oldfield as the new James Bond? Can he step into the shoes and hold the martini glass? Can John Cleese continue his new role as "Q" and reprise his role in "TB 2003" by providing Mike with musical gadgets? Rather see a Hayabusa than an Astin Martin? Agent "XXV" instead of "Agent 007"? How about it? -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top
