Sorry Edd, but you can have tomorrow off then we would all like you to get back on it again and give us the gossip on who you’ve heard as next manager and realistic names of players were linked with.
cpl days rest should be enough for you?. kidding aside mate you do a great job on here and am sure your going to be in for a very busy cpl months.
{Ed007's Note - Thanks TC mate ?? I'm in a Zen like state since Celtic secured another Double and with the new James Bond game due out this week on the PS I don't think there's anything can that upset me.... (ominous music plays)

Whos the next James Bond then and don't say Roy Keane ?.
{Ed007's Note - Nah we've already had an Irishman doing it, a Scot, 2 Englishman and a Australian so it'll need to be Welsh... what's that Giggs lad up to these days? ?
I'm not genned up on all these young actors today but it'll probably be quite an unknown and I like that idea, if you cast say a Tom Hardy it takes away from the franchise imo, Bond as a character is more important than the man who plays him.}

Its all bizarre Ed, James Bond died, so will the next character be 007 or will it still be Bond.
Its a bit like sevco, they died and came back as the same club apparently so can Bond do likewise.
{Ed007's Note - Well the new game is what the youngsters call an origin story, it's set when wee Jimmy first joins MI6 and needs to earn his 00 credentials. IOI - who made the Hitman games - seem to be have ben working in conjunction with Amazon who owns the Jimmy Bond rights, so it could go down that direction of younger Bond ?♂️
Also in 2021's No Time to Die Lashana Lynch played Nomi, the new 007 (female and black) agent, to replace the retired 007 agent James Bond (Daniel Craig) which could take it down a whole new direction or a different Bond multiverse storyline.}

A nice bit of trivia about bond. There have been 2 more bonds, one was English and the other South African.
Peter Neven played bond in a spoof of casino royale and bob Holiness (from blockbusters) , played bond on the radio in moonraker.
{Ed007's Note - David Niven it was and he tried to p[ass himself off as Scottish for years until his birth certificate was discovered. You're right about Bob Holness playing Bond on South African radio in 1956 but there was an American actor called Barry Nelson played James Bond in a 1954 Casino Royale US TV show where Bond was American.
And Talisa Soto from Licence to Kill is by far THE best Bond girl ??

The thing with Bond films is that they never take a well known actor to play the lead. They take an actor on the periphery and make him a star.
I read a story that George Lazenby wasn't even an actor when he got the part. He just went to the audition for a laugh, lied on his CV and got the part.

Think the next Bond will be a lady ?.
