Mood: not sure
Now Playing: Beethoven's 9th Symphony
Well I'm back again, I spent the day away from this for more than one reason. One of them was that I was feeling f***ing lazy, which isn't really unusual I suppose, but the main reason was that it was time for my annual Mossad medical and skills refresher.
For many years we used to do it at some place near Hereford. It was something to do with a Scandinavian Airline if I remember correctly, and boy it must have been tough to get a flight attendants job with them, although I'm not too sure about their customer service skills. No women either which probably confirms what I've always thought about geezers who do that job and that is that they're a bunching of f***ing poofs.
Anyway like any organisation, Mossad has had to watch the old purse strings, although being a Jewish body this has always been a requirement. Now we go to Tesco's in Milton Keynes and use the free blood pressure testing machine just inside the door, then we go to some place where we spend 15 minutes playing Laser Tag or something. I tell you some of those seven year olds are really f***ing sharp, so to get through the time frame without being shot more than 10 times is pretty good going. As per usual I passed with no problem, although spending most of the time hiding behind a barrel helped, and my mysterious ID card with the Star of David on it has been stamped for another year.
Got back here late last night - well trying to dodge ticket inspectors on the train is time consuming, they don't pay us any expenses - and just crashed out. It's a nice feeling though to be passed as fit for another year, and I look forward to being available to sorting out all the international crisis that they can throw at me.
Shalom
