James Bond: I admire your courage, Miss…? Sylvia Trench: Trench. Sylvia Trench. I admire your luck, Mr…? James Bond: Bond. James Bond.

- Dr. No (1962)

During the Casino scene at Le Cercle (Les Ambassadeurs Club), James Bond plays a game of chemin de fer using cash plaques. It’s in the middle of a game against Sylvia Trench (Eunice Gayson), he utters the line that will immortalise the entire Bond saga, “Bond… James Bond”. After beating her several times, 007 uses his charm to invite the young woman into his room. Sylvia thus becomes the very first James Bond girl.

Les Ambassadeurs Casino was established in 1941 by John Mills, a Polish immigrant, on Hanover Square before moving to Hamilton Place in 1950. At the dawn of World War II, the Pole left his homeland for England. Previously a member of a Polish commando unit and an intelligence officer in Portugal, the man founded Les Ambassadeurs Casino.

Nicknamed “The A’s” by its patrons, the establishment was first located in Hanover Square and then in Hamilton Place, the first building having become too small to accommodate all the patrons.

Built in 1810, 5 Hamilton Place was inhabited by aristocrats, the Conynghams, businessman Leopold de Rothschild and Captain Leonard Frank Plugge before being sold to John Mills.

The club was later expanded to include a nightclub and a gaming club, Le Cercle, in 1961. Run by French croupiers, it has been popular with royalty such as Prince Philip, the late Duke of Edinburgh. Sir Christopher Lee, (the actor and future Bond villain, Scaramanga) was a member and kept a bottles of gin with his name on it.

La locomotive LMS 'Duchesse de Gloucester' quitte la gare d'Euston - Londres - 8 juin 1938

[marryat92]

It is impossible to contemplate any steam-engine, without feeling wonder and admiration at the ingenuity of man; but this feeling is raised to a degree of awe when you look at a locomotive engine—there is such enormous power compressed into so small a space—I never can divest myself of the idea that it is possessed of vitality—that it is a living as well as a moving being—and that idea, joined with its immense power, conjures up in my mind that it is some spitting, fizzing, terrific demon, who, if he could escape control, would be ready and happy to drag us by thousands to destruction.

— Frederick Marryat, "Diary on the Continent" (Olla Podrida)

Inauguration du premier chemin de fer en Belgique or Départ de la Flèche le 5 mai 1835 by Jan Antoon Neuhuys, 1885. An artistic recreation of the new Belgian rail lines of 1835 that Marryat witnessed on his continental tour.

Viens mais ne viens pas quand je serai seule. Moi qui ai tout choisi dans ma vie je veux choisir ma mort aussi. Il y a ceux qui veulent mourir un jour de pluie et d'autres en plein soleil, il y a ceux qui veulent mourir seuls dans un lit tranquilles dans leur sommeil. Moi je veux mourir sur scène devant les projecteurs. Oui je veux mourir sur scène, le coeur ouvert tout en couleur. Mourir sans la moindre peine au dernier rendez-vous.

Il y a une dizaine de jours, je suis parti retrouver Christine à Narbonne.

Quelques photos du trajet en train : la Gare Saint-Charles (1), le mont Ventoux vu des environs d'Avignon (2), Tarascon et son château en bord du Rhône(3), de l'autre côté du fleuve, Beaucaire (4 et 5), l'étang de Thau - sans certitude (6,7 et 8), et avant Narbonne, l'arrière du train (et pas l'arrière-train, je précise quand même)

A nice Em 3/3 por jaeschol Por Flickr: The 3 axle shunter was built in around 1962. Most of the survivors look a bit run down and shabby. The shunter for the maintenance work in Olten is really nicely maintained and got a fresh red cover.
