    I would build a 'Lair' like a Bond Villain.  Not sure if it would be on a secluded island or deep under the sea.  It doesn't matter really I guess... I just need a place to carry out evil schemes.  Nothing outlandish like the movies though.  Afterall, I wouldn't want to draw the ire of MI6.  So under-the-radar endeavors like stealing all the soap from Fort Knocks or developing a powerful vacuum that can suck up all the coins from all the couch cushions in the world.  And, if those don't pan out I could make counterfeit meme coins... I assume that's a thing and hold the moon for ransom.

    Yes, Bond Villain makes a lot of sense. If I built my Dyson Sphere, I'd charge everyone for sunlight. Muhahahaha!

    In terms of hench-men I had my eyes on Knick-Knack.  But I will consider  bradfordmiller for 'odd jobs' ;)

    I picked up a box set when it was going cheap, around £12 for 22 discs, so have the earlier ones.

    I'll have to watch Octopussy again as well.  About a year ago I bought most of the Roger Moore era films on DVD for a dollar a piece.

    Likely. It's been a while since I saw either.
