I don't get it either ... meanwhile, in sordid reality, the head of MI5 was known as C, not M, so on that rule the real-life Q would be (counts on fingers) H?

O. P. (Opie as in Opie from the Andy Griffith Show...as in Ron Howard who is now a very famous director)

I figured Magda would at least get it! Oh well! (You Brits might know him from Happy Days as Ritchie Cunningham...remember Fonzie??)

NOW I get it. Didn't make the connection from O & P to Opie.

Er, if there were two Ms, would the dialogue go as follows:

"Bond, you have a licence to kill you motherf***er, but not no bitching licence to exceed the speed limit..."

I have a strange feeling that there is something I don't understand about the above post which is not necessarily obscene.

I guessed that O & P made Opie, but didn't connect it with Ron Howard. I used to watch 'Happy Days'. I don't think the 'Andy Griffith' show ever made it to this side of the pond.
