Double-0 Pigeon

– license to … coo?

Excerpt from an article at the http://www.telegraph.co.uk
(read the full story here)

“Iranian security forces have
arrested two suspected
‘spy pigeons’ near the Natanz
nuclear facility.

Plotting a coo?

One of the pigeons was caught near a rose water
production plant in the city of Kashan in Isfahan
province, the Etemad Melli newspaper reported.
It said that some metal rings and “invisible” strings
were attached to the bird, suggesting that it might
have been somehow communicating what it had seen
with the equipment it was carrying.”

There are no reports on the fate of the pigeons, but not to worry. I’m sure Q won’t let them down.

Something worth doing…

… is worth doing right. And something worth doing right is worth doing well. That's what I'be been taught, and so that's what I stick to!!

With that in mind, I was at the hospital today for a check up – hoping to get rid of brace and crutches. Instead, I'm now going to have surgery tomorrow. Minor surgery, which hopefully will see me back home the same day, but still.

Apparently, being hurt and incapacitated wasn't good enough for me. No no no, I had to go and get a REAL full-blown injury. Might as well do it properly, right?? If it's worth doing….

So, by this time tomorrow I will – if all goes according to plan – either have one very patched up knee, or be one meniscus lighter … I need to stop listening to what I'm told and just slack off more. Maybe I'd get off with a bit of road rash or something…

Committing hubris..

Okay, it’s official. I’m getting old. The days when a full on soccer match led to nothing worse than sweaty laundry and a little tiredness in the muscles the following day are over. I played all of 7 minutes today. Seven minutes where I hardly touched the ball because we weren’t on the attack. Then an unforced tumble and a lengthy visit to the local ER and VOILA!!!

I’m on cruthes with my leg strapped into a completely rigid brace, reaching from lower calf to the top of the thigh. I know I say I like bondage,… but this just SUCKS… then again, that’s what I get for going around teasing Hrafnkel about His zimmer frame… I guess this’ll teach me…

*limps off to grumble a bit*
