About me: | In 1986 I was recruited into an elite force of commandos. In daring, and
sometimes fatal, missions to ensure world security my team worked along side
such well known figures as Abdul Hassim Smith (during his time as President
of the National Stamp Collectors Union [Perth]), Pope John Paul (in his
capacity as keeper of the papal tea fund), and Elizabeth Jones (who lived
down the road and needed help with moving her wardrobe). After a
particularly unfortunate incident in liberating hostages from a Kentucky
Fried Chicken outlet in which my best friend had to be admitted to casualty
with third degree papers cuts, I retired from the service and began my
valued work as part of the Kingston Boys Underwater Choir. As organist and
driving buddy for Chuck (The Yoeman) Terrence (who later went on to have
string of top ten hits in Azerbaijan), I found a kind of peace in their
work. This did not last, however. The competitive world of underwarter
choiristry was not for me, and I returned home to decide what to do with my
life. It was there that I found my wife Katya, hiding behind the fruit and
veg counter at Sainsbury's. Having been chased there by the Russian mafia
and with a 25 million USD price on her head she was only too happy to marry
me and change her name to Claire. Claire and our two daughters now live in
Paris, where she makes a respectable living as a clothes designer. The
tragedy of our divorce and the security pressures of being spiritual advisor
to Clinton left me, in 1997 with a terrible decision - either to return to
my childhood ambitions of being an international hitman, to start my own
Martian Real Estate business, or to wallow in self pity and finally die of an
overdose. I decided on the middle of these options and began retailing prime
land in the Martian deserts. After making millions from damage claims
brought against NASA for trespass and damage to properties (3 million year
old antique rocks being desecrated is a crime, whatever planet it's on), I
retired to a small island in the Florida Keys from where I now post
pointless and irrelevant notes to little known news sites and usenet groups. |
