James Bond never had to put up this!

Summary: A look at the kind of stuff that James Bond never had to put up with while driving madly through the London traffic, to help the love life of one of his best friends.

A/N: One of my favourites lines from this film is towards the end when they are racing to the hotel to stop Anna from leaving and everyone if trying to tell the driver, Max, which is the best route and he slams the breaks on and shouts, "James Bond never had to put up with this shit" Unfortunately due to fanfictions rules I am not allowed to put the word 'shit' into the title as knowing my luck someone would find it offensive and complain and the story would be removed.


Everyone scrambled for the car when it had been realized that a huge mistake had been made on Williams part, and as they raced through the heavy traffic that was normal on the streets of London, all with an idea of the best route to get to the hotel that Anna was giving a press conference in before leaving the country for the U.S.

"Take the left down..."

"No that will be gridlocked at this time of day, take the junction onto..."

"Don't be a moron that will get us stuck at..."

Max listened with half a ear to their attempts to tell him the right way to go, he was starting to become frustrated with them and he knew that sooner or later he would have to say something.

"No take a left on Maybourne road..."

"No taking a left on that road will get us stuck on the lights at Roley Street, take the right onto..."

"No, no, no, keep going till we get to the lights at the end and then..."

The different directions they were arguing about getting more and more frustrating and in the end he slammed his foot on the brake.

"ENOUGH, I AM THE DRIVER AND I WILL DECIDE WHAT ROUTE WE ARE TAKING!" he screamed at them.

"Sorry Max..."

"Yeah sorry Max..."

"Sorry!"

Max shook his head as he took his foot off the brake and the car started moving again.

Muttering to himself as he took the route he felt was best, no changing at the lights at the end of the road, or turning right onto this road or that, or any other than he wanted to drive on.

"James Bond never had to put up with this shit!"


A/N: That's all folks!
