@nuddypants Well done

The Lakeland 100! 105miles. Race time: 29:52:52 Challenging conditions in the Lake District this weekend. Heavy rain, sodden ground and overgrown paths. Had a fantastic time until the last 16 miles when everything hurt (and still does).

💥NEW EPISODE!💥 This week your agents rip around San Francisco with James Caan and Robert Duvall in a souped-up taxicab while decoding the 1975 Sam Peckinpah spy action drama THE KILLER ELITE! Did it make the NOC list? Find out now: pod.fo/e/252d3e

@SpyHards It's been a great 4 years, looking forward to the next 4.

The SpyHards account went live 4 years ago today, thank you all for helping us carve out our spy movie loving corner! We’ve got a very special interview cooked up for our official birthday at the start of august and we can’t wait for you all to hear it 💎🍸 #MyXAnniversary

It's hard getting stuff "out there" these days. We're trying to build a little @mulgraveaudio world of vintage weirdness. If you've enjoyed our stuff, maybe consider an RT, a share, a Bandcamp review, anything like that? It all helps enormously - thanks. mulgraveaudio.bandcamp.com

@simonbrew Really enjoyed your insights.

I tried to ruin someone else's podcast!

@SpyHards Not Red Sparrow, La Femme Nikita had pretty much the same plot and was about 10 times better. For me Red Sparrow was spoiled by the trailer.

Name a spy movie you think more people should be talking about… Our pick: RED SPARROW

@outonbluesix As pointed out by John Shuttleworth, whatever happened to the cajoule!!

I mean if nothing else, he could have come out in a sou'wester and started singing "The Sunak's got his hat on...",

@looksunfamiliar I used to get a very choppy reception of S4C living in Liverpool and I remember seeing Pobol Y Cwm. You had to have a TV that you could manually tune to get it.

Did you ever tune the TV into another ITV region to watch shows that they didn't have in your region? I used to do this with Supermarionation shows, as you can read below, but what were yours...? timworthington.org/2017/10/04/we-…

@SpyHards @LlewellaChapman @ExperienceBond @007 @IanJacklin1964 @TheIanFleming Great episode, I think mine was bits from films as opposed to sitting down and watching a full film. I remember the maze in FRWL and then driving the DB5 in Goldfinger.

What was your first experience with Sir Sean Connery’s #JamesBond? In our new episode with @LlewellaChapman and @ExperienceBond we explored our connections to cinemas first 007 and how influential he was on the spy movie genre… Hear the full episode: pod.fo/e/236e42

@outonbluesix A computer was always accompanied with Popcorn by Hot Butter.

Music that was always invariably used to denote specific 'serious' concepts. Fanfare For The Common Man (the moon), Oxygene (futuristic science), Gymnopedie No. 1 (performance art), Pavane (time-lapse photography), Incense And Peppermints (sixties 'unrest'). More examples please!

Post a GIF or pic from your #1 Bond movie of all time!

@HelenSwire @aponyhour Thanks for the tips.

This is the one seemingly half my #BondTwitter friends have been waiting for...it's the #GrandNational in two days - here are my top ten runners: firstpastthepostracing.wordpress.com/2024/04/11/gra… #RacingTwitter #HorseRacing @aponyhour

@Stevie_BG @HelenSwire I owe Helen a pint from last year, so I would love to get some tips too!!

@HelenSwire Your tips did me well last year, looking forward to this year’s advice 👍

It's the Saturday before the Grand National, which means I start on my whittling of the remaining names on the list. The countdown to my favourite day of the year has begun. #GrandNational

@ConnectionsCult The Forsythe Saga?

Ok here’s a clue. It’s a mini series with a famous film star in the lead

@Bobby_Seagull @ClaerB @BirdgirlUK That's a cormorant.

On my walk around Bow Locks (don't laugh), I saw this bird. Any bird fans know what this species? Tagging my friends @ClaerB @BirdgirlUK in case they know too

@Bob_Fischer The programs when you type in hundreds of lines of code and have to wait for a magazine to publish the bug fixes next month!!

Forty years ago today. Just when I was getting my head around Geoff Giles' quadrisides, we've now got Hexasides, and "the Egyptian way and the Russian way". Oh, aye. Dreaded Outward Bound week now imminent, too. Doctor Who? The Twin Dilemma Part 3. #oxygenalert

This was my entry point for #JamesBond, the moment that made me a fan… What was yours?

@AlanaPaton1 @SpyHards Me too!!

@SpyHards For me it was Moonraker: M: Is Bond back from that African job yet? Moneypenny: He's on his last legs now, sir.

@SpyHards Brilliant

Next Week on SpyHards Podcast…
