I can call him Pod if I want to. Maybe he likes it. :D

And you can't compare 'Pod' with 'y'.
'Gway' would be a suitable comparison and if anyone wants to call me 'Gway' feel free.

Sad news :( His contribution to Bond and other films cannot be underestimated. After all, he arranged the theme music I believe (Monty Norman composed it - was he sole composer?)

Lulz! Some friends of mine refer to me as 'Pod', 'G-Pod', and 'Podman', but most just call me Simon ;)

No one calls me Hung in real life, but I have a friend called Hung. Sometimes I feel a bit strange around him when people are calling him... :D

My name is Jeroen, but my chinese neighbour who couldn't pronounce Jeroen always called me Yi Long, which is where my nickname came from.

Having a chinese girlfriend, in-laws and mostly chinese friends, many of them just call me Yi, which is perfectly fine with me, cause Jeroen is a stupid name anyway :D

Not that this has ANYTHING to do with Bond ofcourse... apart from the fact that Jeroen Krabbe was in Living Daylights, and he has absolutely no-one calling him Yi. Sad bastard.

Preference over ignorance. It suits the films but I'm repeating myself.

These aren't Martial Arts films with long one-on-one fight sequences (where it does annoy me). I'm not saying it wouldn't work less close up but it works for these films IMO.

Is Gay a suitable abbreviation? :D.

One of cinema's great composers.

Watched Moonraker a couple of weeks ago and his music is beyond class.

Very interesting article here about the "lost script" for what became Casino Royale - very different from the lame spoof of 1967. Imagine if they had made something close to the Daniel Craig version, but in the 60's.

Interesting article thanks Grim. I didn't realise the Bond love story in Casino Royale was in the book. It felt a little tacked on. So Bond's been in love twice then.
