Gooseberry Crumble 5,347 Posted April 26, 2017 2 minutes ago, Lord Fellatio Nelson said: IIRC, there was something written at the time he retired, rather abruptly, which suggested that he was getting the very occasional memory lapse. I think there was also a suggestion that it had scared him and, obviously, it was not the way he wanted to go. There also MAY be something in his flat refusal to join Sir Roger and all the other ex Bonds in an on screen reunion. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3132524/The-Man-Olden-Gun-Sir-Roger-Moore-reveals-bid-bring-ex-James-Bonds-star-blockbuster-Sean-Connery-isn-t-keen.html Intriguing. Thank you. I hadn't heard about this onscreen reunion and I definitely would have thought he'd be up for it as Sean has always been very proud of his Bond role. Also whilst he's not the type of celebrity /famous person to act as a political commentator always sharing their views, I would have thought he would have said something about Scotland's predicament since the EU referendum gamechanger. Another sign perhaps that all is not well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,979 Posted May 24, 2017 Connery was at least well enough to pay tribute to Roger Moore: http://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/films/808843/Sir-Roger-Moore-dead-James-Bond-films-tributes-Sean-Connery-Pierce-Brosnan-Daniel-Craig Still, I think the comittee will include him next year, like they included Mr. Prowse after Carrie Fisher's death. They won't want to miss the next dead Bond. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do think he should be on future deathlists as he is too iconic to miss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a feeling he was picked more because he is famous rather than how likely it is that he will die soon. I think there could've been better choices this year.

CaptainChorizo 1,990 Posted January 7, 2018 This is a more a we missed 1 James Bond we can't afford to miss the original pick.Unless he secretly has stage 4 cancer or something one of the most likely on the list to make it safely to 2019. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Szabaka 93 Posted January 31, 2018 Agreed ... I see no reason to think he will die this year from any cause other than some wayward golf ball hitting him on the noggin and causing a brain hemorrhage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That nearly happened to me.I was on the 8th tee with Sir Sean & Telly Savalas at a Pro-Am when a ball whizzed past my skull,kicking up a hank of hair over my ear along the way. It was only Eric bloody Sykes' shot. Whose idea was it to allow a blind man anywhere near a Nine Iron??? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Szabaka 93 Posted February 1, 2018 No, I believe his hearing is still there. Actually I believe he still drums for some jazz bands. Eric Clapton just a week or so ago announced that he is going deaf. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
