My Name is Bond...James Bond
Mood:  lazy
Now Playing: The Tuba
There is something about going to the Synagogue that I can't quite put my finger on. Sometimes I leave there feeling spiritually uplifted, especially if there were some illicit Bagel sales going on. Others I feel thoroughly depressed as I have to sit through a load of religious claptrap which seems to be the whole reason the place is there.
Yesterday was one of those though that left me feeling a little odd. Sure the two scarves I have managed to knit in Israeli Army khaki were well received, and I've been promised that our boys down in Southern Lebanon will appreciate my efforts. However I can't help wondering what I've done to offend Councillor Liebeman who has been very cold and off handish to me lately. One thought that crosses my mind is that he is jealous of me. You see for almost 40 years I've been involved in some sort of action, be it running on the field in the 1966 World Cup final, rubbing shoulders with Hollywood stars, or gathering intelligence as part of an elite team of "brake blockers" on an Underground Railway network in the London area. Councillor Liebeman on the other hand has always been a pen pusher. Admittedly he is a Pen pusher with some pretty important contacts, but he has never done the things I have. I think that has begun to get his goat a little lately. He has never "donned the black" and it's now unlikely he ever will. So I think his attitude towards me is merely jealousy and not the fact that he got a bill from Mossad's technical department for the jetpack I used during my recent graffiti investigation.
Benny once again sneaked into the back of the Synagogue, he's grown a little moustache now and his appearance reminds me of someone, but I can't quite think who. As for the new security team, well they are Russians and they don't do much except stand there and look menacing. They didn't even bother to follow the team from a new TV station who were filming yesterday. I ended up trailing them myself...well you never know.
Anyway as it's Sunday today I'm off down Brick Lane to get some Bagels, should be nice and warm if I cycle fast enough.

Shalom
