Tomorrow I go back into London for a taekwondo instructors course. This is mainly administrative, involving defense against glue sticks and staplers. And the other part involves a criminal background check so I can get kicked in the shins by children.
Side note. The club has grown really quite large now and the kids are starting to get the full sparring gear. There's a sense of deep satisfaction when you see a kid who was shy on their first class now letting the other kids queue up to kick him in the crotch to try out his new groin guard. Yeap. It gets you right here, it does.
So, part of this criminal check involves me providing addresses for the past 10 years. 10 years! How am I supposed to know where I've been for the last 10 years? Always look forward, never look back...
Thank goodness for Amazon.com. They've got details on me from the beginning of time. Fortunate but frightening.
