A lot of you are probably wondering why I am calling myself "The Old Fart" and have a Homepage called "Welcome to Old Fart Productions" (See link under My Other Blogs and Goodies).
When I started in the field as a 35mm Film Projectionist some of the concession staff {at the last Cinema I worked in } weren't even born yet. In fact back in 2003 I was the oldest member of the staff at the age of 43. In true Ernest Hemingway form, instead of being "The Old Man and the Sea", I became "The Old Fart of the Theatre" to quote one Manager..
And as they say "The Rest Is History"
About This Blog
Just a few rantings from a 'Half Century' "Old Fart". What you will be reading here will not change the world, or have any profound effect on anyone or anything. It is just a place for me to share a thing or two and hopefully give you a break from the day to day toils and troubles of life.

Microfiction Monday #69
Our Susan over at
"Stony River" hosts Microfiction Monday. I thought I'd give it a try and see if I can come up with something. The idea is to use Susan's picture she posts then compose a story up to and including characters, punctuation marks, etc adding up to 140. I believe you can use less but not more. Susan provided a
"Convenient Link" {Everyone should have one in a Convenient Pocket} if you need help in attaining that magic number of 140. Whilst at Susan's visit all the other wonderful Entries in the game.
As M looked down from his Office Window at MI6, he just couldn't understand how James could always be late with all the watches Q gave him.Into Paradise......................May the Angels lead you.

As M looked down from his Office Window at MI6, he just couldn't understand how James could always be late with all the watches Q gave him.
24 Visitor{s}:
Oh, a great one for the day, Bill! I hope you and the furry ones have gotten settled into your new apartment! Have a great week!
Sylvia
MI6, brought back memories.
Thanks Bill. I Hope you're loving the new place and have settled in!!!
Sylvia ~ Thanks, We are all snug as three bugs in a rug. You have a wonderful week as well.
Peggy ~ I pictured Connery as I wrote this one up. He'd always be late getting to the Office.
Nice! Love the James Bond movies!
Oh! I LOVED this. Hmm, I do wonder why he was always late? Tee hee!
♥.•*¨ Elizabeth ¨*•.♥
Love it, Bill....Bond. James Bond. The late James Bond.
Bill, I'm not up on James Bond and his character people. But this is funny, especially for late people.
..
But most of the timepieces blew up or were really tracking devices. Poor M. Always disappointed.
Yes! I thought maybe there would be a matching pocket watch in there somewhere!
Thanks.
I never knew that Bond was always late! Learn something new everyday.
Love Di ♥
Sonia - Some of them were good. I watched some over the weekend.
Elizabeth - Sean was always late reporting to M.
Pat - In one of the books, he was assumed dead.
Jim - Thats OK, one always learns when they come here.
Melanie - Some of the watches had more than one purpose other than telling time.
Izzy - Cant see James with a Pocket Watch, M on the other hand.
Di - James was always late when it came time to visit M. I always thought a visit to M was like a visit to the Headmaster of a School.
a question that may never have a good answer
That's true about all those fancy, techy watches! Great one for today. I loved it!
Perhaps Bond is as much of a techno-dweeb as I am! LOL I have trouble with the TV remote. Those fancy watches would be the end of me.
Poor Q never DID get any respect. :)
I do love a bit of Bond, Bill. Thanks for this one!
Have a great week.
maybe because the watches are really missles and cameras ;)
Maybe James doesn't have the concept of time and space. lol
Shopannies ~ It's James, he always does things his way.
Septembermom ~ Maybe the watches do everything but tell time.
Lisa ~ I think James was more of a Lover than anything else.
Hope ~ No, Q never did any respect. M did fare a bit better.
Michael ~ Glad you found this fun. A great week is wished for you as well.
Dianne ~ That's probably the reason.
Ruthi ~ I think James Marched to his own drummer.
Ah, but neither M or Q could counter the amount of female distractions Fleming threw at him :-)
Nice one.
If anyone can make Ian Flemming roll over in his grave, it is you, Bill. LOL!
I always feel slightly --dare I say it?-- gaggy, when I mention that guy's last name, if you know WHAT I MEAN...
Anthony ~ How true, and also Harry and Cubby in the films.
Sparkle ~ I am sure Fleming is looking down smiling "That's My James".
It isn't Jame's fault. Those bad guys are always interfering with his schedule!
Quilly ~ Sometimes, ususally it was a little bit of "Afternoon Delight" that was keeping James from his meetings.
