Thank you for this summary of the work that took place in the Alternative Writing Workshop Well done on going through all those Entries
I don't understand the title of this Entry, but I think I'm probably missing something obvious punwise

With the SuperMarket titles, after going through titles based on the 'Star Trek' films I then started on going through the Bond film titles. I've already got to 'Spectre' – hence the SpecSavers, with Savers referring to people saving entries from the Flea Market as well as SpecSavers being the name of an opticians.
The Bond-themed SuperMarket titles were:
From Russia with Love - From the FleaMarket with Love
Goldfinger - GoldFleamarket
Thunderball - ThunderFleas
You Only Live Twice - You're Only In Peer Review Twice
On Her Majesty's Secret Service - On The Flea Market's Secret Service
Diamonds are Forever - Scavenger Badges Are Forever
Live and Let Die - Live and Let Rescue
The Man with the Golden Gun - The Researcher with the Golden Scavenger Badge
The Spy who Loved Me - The Researcher who Loved Fleas
Moonraker - Uni-Raker
For Your Eyes Only - For Researchers Eyes Only
A View to a Kill (originally titled 'From a View to a Kill') - From the Flea Market to the Front Page
The Living Daylights - The Living Delights
Licence to Kill - Licence to Rescue
GoldenEye - GoldenAge
Tomorrow Never Dies - A Rescue Never Dies
The World is Not Enough - The Flea Market is Not Enough
Die Another Day - Front Page Another Day
Casino Royale - Casino Royale with Cheese (inspired by Pulp Fiction's 'Royale with Cheese' scene)
Quantum of Solace - Quantum of Rescues
Skyfall - Fleafall
Spectre - Specsavers
I doubt anyone other than me ever noticed, but it kept me amused.
Of course as is tradition, by the time an issue of SuperMarket gets to it is out of date, as we now have an entry on Keyboard Shortcuts in Peer Review too.

Now, BB, I *did* notice...I just missed the 'SpecSavers' reference.
But thanks for that explanation!

Ah Spectre passed me by, as I haven't seen any Bond films since Pierce Brosnan's era, but I had noticed your other excellent pun titles Great to see the full list
I'm very pleased that the tradition of SuperMarket being out of date has been maintained
Key: Complain about this post
