Best Bond / Film for me was Lazenby in OHMSS.

Favourite Bond was Roger Moore. Had the absolute pleasure of meeting him once, when I was about 14.

Utterly lovely chap.

That's fabulous. Was a genuinely wonderful experience seeing the show.

I'll certainly be grabbing a copy of that...

Emma Reynolds' tenure as pensions minister (189 days) was the third shortest since the role was created in its modern form in July 1998. She is only beaten by John Denham (155 days) and Alex Burghart (38 days).

Thanks Mike! Appreciate that.

The eejit gets far too much publicity as it is, without me mentioning him πŸ˜‰

Credit where it’s due - always worth a pensions listen.

This is the one where @pensionssimon.bsky.social can’t bring himself to say β€œNigel Farage”.

Politics and pensions rarely mix well!
