The new James Bond movie is being released in some countries. A lot of people are excited, since the movie’s release was delayed several times because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Bond movies are famous for spectacular stunts, a luxurious lifestyle of fast cars and Martinis, and beautiful “Bond girls”. James Bond seems to have difficulty maintaining a long term relationship with any of these women. Maybe it is too difficult to have a long-term girlfriend when you are regularly travelling around, saving the world. And even if Bond could keep a girlfriend, would it be a happy relationship for his partner?

His proposal of marriage was certainly memorable. Instead of going down on one knee and asking me to marry him, he booked a luxury room in an underwater hotel. There was a window in our room, which looked out into the ocean. You could see fish swimming past the window, because the room was 10 metres underwater.
One morning I awoke to the sound of an alarm clock. My boyfriend wasn’t in the bed next to me. I turned the alarm clock off and, as I did so, I found a note next to it. On the note was written, “Look out of the window, darling.”
So I ran to the curtains and opened them. My boyfriend was there, outside the window. He wasn’t wearing a diving suit. He was just holding his breath. He pulled out a note from his swimming trunks, and held it up against the window. It said, “Will you marry me, darling?”
Well, I didn’t have much time to think. I thought he would run out of air if I waited too long, so I held up a thumb and nodded my head. My boyfriend kissed the glass, then pushed a button on his swimming trunks. I think he had some sort of clever device attached, because he suddenly shot up to the surface in a cloud of bubbles.
On our tenth wedding anniversary, my husband suggested that we celebrate by drinking champagne in a private aeroplane, while watching the sunrise.
When I got to the airport at the time we had arranged, he still wasn’t there. But he called me to say that he would meet me on the plane. So I boarded. The funny thing was, he wasn’t inside. I wasn’t sure what to do, so I just sat in my seat and read an in-flight magazine.
The plane took off. An attendant brought me some champagne. Next to the champagne there was a note. The note said, “Look out of the window, darling.”
“Not again,” I thought. Couldn’t he just give me some flowers or chocolate like a normal man?
