Mine was too, but I feel like at this point in time Russia has other things to worry about.
Probably, but you would think they would have better things to do than sticking Polonium 210 in cups of tea at London hotels as well.
Well a plane crash is a little too overt for the folks pretending it's still the cold war.
Dropping fucking radioactive material in someone's cup of tea in the middle of another nation's capital city is hardly subtle. As assassination methods go, it is possibly the most balls-out ostentatious I have ever heard of outside of a James Bond movie.
Although shooting that Bulgarian dude with a ricin-poisoned pellet from an umbrella-gun in the middle of Westminster bridge is pretty gnarly.
No-one uses the word gnarly any more, I realise now.
No-one else on here was probably born when Markov was assassinated either (except perhaps Keeker, who has discovered the secret of eternal youth). I wonder if these two things are connected.
I do remember the umbrella incident, yes. (Although I'd forgotten the fellow's name.
) It was indeed somewhat James Bondish.As for the secret of eternal youth? If you find it let me know! However, I believe it helps to collect stripy socks, listen to The Goodies records occasionally and generally behave like I forgot to stop being ten years old.
I have a map to the Kingdom but was forced to surrender the keys.
