Never a dull moment

nowadays...political situation is deteriorating in Nepal. Loads of Maoists have assembled in Kathmandu and are parading around the city. It's a pretty tense situation so we've been compelled to close down the office over there which brings a whole set of complications.


Meeting such fascinating people with this job. Today I was with an ex SAS trainer who was telling me all about survival techniques, I met an American who had been a helicopter gunner in the Vietnam war, and interviewed a Fijian who'd been awarded the Gallantry Cross for effectively saving three colleagues lives in the height of the war in Afghanistan...all of them modest about what they'd done...and then I had the wannabe, a Night Club Doorman from Bognor who wanted to move into Close Protection work…. when asked about the most hostile environment he had experienced he proceeded to tell me all about a group of blokes from London who'd invaded his Club and were about to kick a guys head in.....hmmm, not quite on the same scale.
