Bond's companion looks at the demise of this thread:

Companion: Good heaven's Bond, what happened to it?
Bond: I'm afraid this thread has gone out of fashion.
Companion: James, that wasn't very witty.
Bond: It died at its post?
Companion: Really Double-Oh, have you run out of death quips?
Bond: Oooo! I know! It has gone out of style!
Companion: Back to the fashion theme? That's rather weak, isn't it?
Bond: Ummm, it got page two-ed.
Companion: But it didn't - did it James? You know, MI6 has a really nice retirement package...
Bond: Hmmm. Maybe I should consider Social Security.
Companion: Brilliant James! Good one!
Bond: ???...Yes, of - of course...it went on Social Secura-ty.
