From Tailors With Love

The Weekender. 

Today I finish off some research notes from the Skyfall Style Breakdown from my appearance on The Bond Experience. 

Namely some wormholes about Ralph Fiennes joining the 5 mile high club and what scholars have deduced from the Fighting Temeraire. 

Anastasia isn't well, will give you an update. Nothing serious so don't sweat it. 

Chart positions are back as is listener mail. 

Oh I got honked through. The honk through-er became the honk-through-ee. 

More on that.

I sit down with Scott Fraser of the Scott Fraser Collection and discuss his journey on recreating vintage knits in the Iconic Series.

The first release was The Talented Mr Ripley and now Scott has launched the Goodfellas range. (2 pieces).

I'm also joined by Nick Guzan of Bamf Style, and we talk about the process, the hurdles, the originals and the intellectual property saga.

Recorded on the way into work this morning. Been a crazy working week and I've spent most of it stuck in traffic. 

There is a tube strike going on in London right now and it's creating allllll kinds of horrible hell. 5 hour commutes to work have driven me up the wall. 

Whilst in the car I reflect on the surrealism of the Ukranian/Russian war. Reflecting on the ominous fighting career of Vitali Klitschko, mayor of Kyiv and head of the Kyiv City State Administration. 

I recorded another episodes on the possible fighting names for James Bond, but the audio wasn't the best. 

But names in the hat, 

Bond James you know his name Bond. 

The Man with the Golden Fists and .. 

The Slayer from Sloane Square.

This week, two parts. I ran out of storage on my phone so it cuts out halfway. The first part I talk about moving in to the new place and the discovery of foxes living under the podcast studio. 

Sceond half I discuss the For Your Eyes Only book by Ben McIntyre which I recently purchased at a thrift store. 

One thing it talks about is how did Bond get the handle, 007? 

All is revealed. Thanks for tuning in. Will look to get back to normal soon with guests lined up.

Hey this week a rather truncated episode. A two parter in one. Walking around the block twice with Roger we are greated immediateley by a big Alsation called Gnarler. Then we talk about the new podcast studio, Jack Reacher both films and TV series. Lastly I discuss a recent poll I put out on Twitter about James Bond Paintings.

As a little add on from my earlier walk I talk about a story that grabbed my attention in the paper on how a MET Officer got into trouble for chatting up a crime victim. A little like Bond would do. Also, reminding me of how I once chatted up a customer in the work place which ended up in a mini 2-hour saga disaster.

A quick morning walk around the block with Roger. I talk about my 4th viewing of No Time To Die and the irksome dialogue that you only hear in movies. 

 

Today I take a walk around the block with Roger. I come up with a new idea on how to get a thank you from Anastasia's Mum for paying for lunch. 

Then there is some talk about the book and how I'm being a douche by just sending people links to buy the book everytime they ask me questions about James Bond's clothes. 

Lastly I talk about the band Queen and the style of the band and John Deacon's tank top.
