One last snippet 'cos I'm conscious I'm thread breaking.

Ian Fleming was the mastermind behind 'Operation Mincemeat'.

I didn't know that until I went to Bletchley.

It's not threadbreaking if it's interesting :D -- that's a fascinating story behind Operation Mincemeat, I just read all the background on Wikipedia.

I didn't realize that Bond wore a GP in the book, too bad it didn't get into the movie.

Wasn't Girard Perragaux the French actor who played Cyrano de Bergerac?
