What I can never understand with the Bond baddies is why they come up with a cunning plan with which to kill him, then fail miserably because they tell him exactly what they are going to do!
Surely consecutive Bond baddies can learn by their predecessors mistakes and employ the element of surprise and finish him off?

and I would like to assure all my well-wishers here that it was not me who killed the Princes.
Their skeletons were discovered, by the way, during an excavation of the Tower in 1674, so by 1674 they were dead. Of that, there can be no doubt..I don’t think so anyway.
I’m far too cute to be tortured, Scep.
Just look @ me – I’m irresistable!
According to the London Evening Standard tonight, there are calls for Sir Jimmy to be stripped of his Knighthood.
I don’t know about anyone else but methinks it’s not going to bother him too much. :-k

there is a great biography of Richard III by Paul Murray Kendall which looks at all the evidence. Kendall is very pro-Richard, and is flummoxed – there are so many pro- and anti- arguents, and Kendall argued that if Richard did kill them he may well have been haunted by it for the rest of his reign. Other historians have argued that on balance Richard killed them.The jury really is out, and there’s no sign of them being called back in.
Who knows? It was a very bloody age, and people took drastic steps to consolidate their power. Under the Tudors, it got even nastier, with judicial murders, more refined ways of torturing pandas and chopping wives’ heads off.
We’re civilised now, of course.
I’m not sure if us pandas had been invented in Tudor times.
:shock:
And we’re far too cute to be tortured.
“Realistically, Henry’s only opportunity to murder the princes would have been after his accession in 1485.”
They were not seen after the Summer of 1483, the year Richard ascended the throne:

I’ve got to go with the evidence and say Richard III is guilty and he murdered his nephews in order to consolidate his postion as King.

Marks the date 50 years ago when The Beatles released their first single (Love Me Do).
It was 1962 and they actually played at the Co-op Hall in Nuneaton that night.
I just love Beatles trivia. Such as 108 Roman Road, Taunton being the chip shop The Beatles visited and ate chips at during the making of Magical Mystery Tour.
You may be interested to know that on BBC2 Saturday 6th Oct at 21.45 until 23.40 is a docu / movie on the Magical Mystery Tour Revisited, and then a couple more programmes after about them too.
Ta. I will have a look as I’ve never seen any Beatles films.
