Was Bond a Commander?

[scorpiojo]

Yes :)

Thanks, scorpiojo - I've never seen a Bond film, never read a Bond book, but I must have absorbed that at some time!

Greed (is good)

[scorpiojo]

Welcome, Nac :)

[scorpiojo]

...sorry, Bernie, Creed (rhymes with greed)

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, Scorpio. Glad you updated the 'greed is good' thing, I was trying to untangle that!

[scorpiojo]

;))

[Bernie]

Thank you all.

I think I was being dense, scorpio - and thinking 'another film I haven't seen...'

[scorpiojo]

I googled ‘Commander Bond’ :)

[fiction-factory]

I can see the Greed (is good) and creed (Dogma) rhymes with greed but I'm not sure where the "due to gecko's initially"- fits in. Maybe something to do with G for gecko (initial letter) but I can't make it work

[scorpiojo]

‘ Greed is good’ was Gordon Gecko’s creed.

[fiction-factory]

Thanks. I've never heard of him. Google takes me to a film for this one too- Wall Street.
