Grimbold Theoman

A tall slim, wiry man entered the cafe, he was almost bald and what hair he had was cut short, his face was starting to show lines of age at a guess about 40 years old. He was dressed in black and wore a three quarter length leather coat over his shirt and trousers, the cut of the coat suggested it...

The only problem the mercenary had with the quiet solitude of churches was the way that his thoughts sometimes turned. He was not a young man, and he had hoped that by now he would be in a possition to have retired, or at least got out of the mercenary game which was one for younger players. Though...

The walk to the church was not long but the narrow and winding streets of Florence meant it took some time. The main entrance to the church was to say the least unprepossessing. I face of the building was bare stone with ridges running across it, Michelangelo had been commissioned to design a facad...

Waking early after a pleasant sleep Grimbold rose and showered had a quick shave and went to get breakfast. Part way through Alan joined him. Morning Alan, have you any plans for spending the morning in this remarkable city? Alan gave Grim his usual stare of incomprehension when faced with such com...

Around 9:30 that evening you will receive an e-mail
"Ms Popova,
Just to let you know that we are in Florence and will be at the Lame Duck tomorrow as agreed.

Sadly by the time Grimbold arrived at the centre of the city the best of the delights were hidden in the twilight. However the walk was good and he felt ready for a good meal and bed. Finding a small restaurant on a street corner he ate a tasty meal, just about making himself understood in his, as ...

Florence's tiny Peretola airport lay on the north west side of the city and since the hills on that side made approaches from the north west tricky to say the least and todays wind meant that the approach was across the ancient city. Grimbold looked out of the porthole of the aircraft as th...

The flight was to take a little over three hours. They should get into Florence at just after 19:30 local time. Grimbold spent a little time finding a hotel and booking a couple of rooms, then to find the Lame Duck. After that he dozed in the comfortable cabin. Waiting was not something he found ea...

Driving to the long stay carpark Grimbold stopped at the kiosk and asked for a specific attendant, someone he could trust with his vintage car. John, it's been a long time but I need you to look after the DB5 again, I am not sure how long for but the usual terms will be acceptable I trust O...

The reply came through soon after Grimbold had left the house in which his bedsit was located. Glancing at it quickly he flipped the phone to com mode and called his partner. Alan, It's Grim. We have a meeting with the contact in Florence tomorrow at 1pm. Can you meet me at Heathrow later t...

The bedsit was small and poorly lit, it was a bolthole when things were quiet, somewhere that was always safe. Things were getting too hot in England for the moment. Recent activities by some were giving mercenaries a bad name, and since that was the occupation of Grimbold Theoman he was considerin...

That is just bizarre, I can only just about manage to use my mobile to send text messages (sorry cell phone) there is no way I could cope with a table that told me which lights were on. The only question I have is how much power does it take to run it? At a time when energy supplies are getting lowe...

I don't know maybe I am getting old before my time but it really does nothing for me. Clever technology and it will probably have some sort of real use sometime but as it stands it is nothing special yet.

I just knew there was a reason I use firefox instead of Microsnot's poor offering some of those plug-ins are extremely powerful.

You know I contemplated posting a picture as a method of introducing myself, but since you are all so young I felt it would be unfair to frighten you in such a callous manner.

So here instead is not a link to a picture of me, nor indeed is it a link to anything at all.
