Why to be interested in guns....


      Moving on with your career is about meeting influential people and having a clever chat with them.
       Today, I was waiting for a tube, just coming back from the funeral at St Paul’s. I was joined on my journey by several well dressed gentlemen. One of them, approaching 50's, approached the traffic warden with question about the best connection to North Greenwich – business interest,  obviously. Later he boarded the train and spent he journey engaged in conversion with another peer. I overheard only the word 'peer' while reading paper, business news. Upon leaving, I left the paper on the seat. The well dressed gentleman took it. I meant to leave it for other travellers to read, I apologized for what might be seen as leaving rubbish.
“That's all right', he said 'I read it on my next train.”
He asked me whereabouts I was from.
Slovakia”, he reacted to my country of origin. “I have a friend from there, Bruno, makes good guns.”
 I wanted to respond, but could not find anything smart and relating to guns. Immediately, he changed direction for his train, leaving me with no link to carry on in conversation.
Well, I should learn a thigh about guns.
