And it was through these two jobs that he got part of the inspiration for the lifestyle Bond would live.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Fleming&#8217;s own lifestyle was to say the least, complicated. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">He would disappear off to Jamaica to spend time with his mistress, while his wife Ann had an affair with the Labour leader Hugh Gaitskill. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Both he and Ann loved S&amp;M and visitors to their house Goldeneye would wonder how they got through so many cool, wet towels (they used them to sooth the pain of the whippings they gave each other).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">I&#8217;ve read no evidence that the fictional Bond enjoyed similar sexual tastes to Fleming, but he certainly had a high pain threshold.\u00a0 And like Fleming, \u00a0Bond smoked, drank and gambled to excess.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">And while Bond lives on, \u00a0Fleming died of a heart attack at the relatively early age \u00a056 in 1964.\u00a0 He clearly hadn&#8217;t taken on board the warning &#8220;Don&#8217;t try this at home&#8221;. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Join Michael for James Bond and the Spies of Mayfair on November 7th.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Spectre, the latest outing for 007 hits our cinema screens Michael Duncan talks about the life of James Bond author Ian Fleming.
