    From the great book of short stories Barcelona Plates.
    Really stuck in my mind since reading it years ago. Basically its about how you becoming more and more invisible as you grow older, and thats an absolute truth, i could give 1/5 doz examples ive personally noticed.
    Anyway as the story goes this old guy decides (as in the Michael Caine movie, probably sporned from Alexei's tale which predated it) to become a hitman and remove vermin from the world and be able to get away with it because he'd become old enough to have become completely invisible and consequently never any witness information.
    My accounted recently asked me "what are u going to do with yourself when u retire and in your old age"? I said thinking of Alexei's tale "im thinking about becoming a hitman because I'll be completely invisible by then and be able to get away with it because there will be no witnesses". He replied "sounds like fun i think I'll join you". Lol . So guys I suggest we get the weapons now and look forward to the future fun hanging around jewellry shops awaiting the action and out the front of homes with nice cars
