In Skyfall, Bond’s training gear is functional, understated, easy to wear.
Back in 2019 I designed a T-shirt around that idea for myself. A few people asked about it on Instagram, so I made it available in multiple fits and sleeve options:

A 1946 advertisement for Marmite features a man in military uniform against a background of men toiling in a camp. The ad highlights the story of Australians raiding Japanese-held supplies of Marmite to aid prisoners of war, emphasizing its vitamin potency as a nourishing food for all, especially young children, the sick, and the elderly. It encourages consumers to ask their grocers for Marmite. Australian Pow's defy Japanese guards... ...to get life giving Marmite Here is one of the most dramatic stories of courage and comradeship to come out of World War 11-and one of the greatest tributes that could possibly be paid to the vitamin-potency of MARMITE Vegetable Extract! Proving conclusively the value of this famous product as a nourishing and appetite-stimulating food it also shows why MARMITE should be served in every home-particularly where there are young and growing children, sick persons or elderly folk. Providing in abundance those elements that are so vital to health, MARMITE is as delicious as it is good-and being so highly concentrated it is most economical in use. Ask your grocer to save you a pot of MARMITE today! Increased supplies coming soon. So desperate was the need of Australia's POW's for vitamin foods that the most appalling risks were run to secure supplies. In one recorded instance Japanese-held supplies of MARMITE, originally assembled by the British Government for jungle-fighting troops, were raided by daring young Australians to bring life-giving MARMITE to their sick and suffering mates!

The big question for me is, what the hell has Scoobie Doo got to do with it and why does he blow up?
This war is so damn confusing. It’s why we shouldn’t let drunks and dementia patients run it.

Ian Fleming's 10th James Bond book, The Spy Who Loved Me, was published by Jonathan Cape on this day in 1962. It's a bit of an oddity in that it is written in the first person from a female perspective. James Bond only appears for the last third of the novel. #JamesBond #dates #OTD

A white garment with some kind of food stain. Humiliating.
A pair of dirty hands rest on a car engine. Rough, tough, cool.
Here is an easy solution:
Food stains are humiliating, as they suggest you're a little baby who can't feed themselves.
Oil stains, such as those you'd get from working on your car, suggest you're tough, independent, and skilled.
Thus, simply cover your food stains with used motor oil.
Mainly for the space it takes up on my phone, there is no chance in hell I'm listening to you. Even if I wanted to, my adhd brain just won't.
There is a special place in hell for people who leave 10 minute voicemail messages on WhatsApp
You'll get my take after the dog is walked and the coffee brewed!
Since this particular news will be breaking while I'm in bed, look out for @thespycommand.bsky.social's take on it (assuming it happens).
