Morning in London...

[caddyman]

Oh the irony of it all.

For the first time in many a moon, I waltzed into the office before 10.00 to find that anyone and everyone that it would be useful to have see me in so comparatively early is either working from home today or has called in sick. Ah well, worse things happen at sea.

And I'm clearing off early as it is games night tonight, so snub.

Now, far be it from me to assign random personalities and back stories to complete strangers, but I believe that I travelled between Euston and Victoria with an enforcer for OdeSSa this morning.

I fancy his code name must be das Skalpell

Imagine a man in his mid thirties, short, thinning hair combed back and oiled. Thin, angular face and small, rectangular glasses. He was wearing a well tailored pinstripe suit with a blue shirt, but no tie, wearing it open collar instead. Generally too tidy and well groomed for such a display of deliberate casualness.

The dead give away of course, was the fact that he stared into the middle distance without acknowledging the presence of any other person on the train, standing unmoving, as if welded to the spot, unlike normal folks who grab a hold of anything they can to prevent themselves being barrelled around by the moving Tube train. That and the small medical bag he had with him.

He disappeared into the crowd at Victoria. I wonder what nefarious mission he might be on for his aging overlords?

It's just as well you did not approach the Nazi sympathiser, Bwy, or you'd have suffered a lightning-swift stiletto in the ribs. Or he'd have waited until you exited the train, followed you in the crowd and slipped a garotte over yuour bonce and sliced yer windpipe in half. A somewhat sociopathic crew, these OdeSSa types.

Was he wearing little black leather gloves? did he smell of parma violets?

I presume he actually mengeled into the crowd?

Do you remember what you said in an earlier post about getting fed up with smart-arse responses....?

Very witty.

He was off to steal Botox from Knightsbridge ladies. Those ageing overlords need all the lift they can get.

It's odd that you should mention OdeSSa. I was reading about the organisation on wikipedia yesterday. It seems it was not the vast secret conspiracy of ex-Nazis that everyone thinks. However, it seems that there was a certain element in the Vatican that helped some of the murdering buggers to hide out in Italy and skip to South America. Bloody papists! The Inquisition, the Borgias AND aiding ex-SS Jew-killers? What a history.
