...and so what was to happen, this morning - then...at the HSBC bank, dear reader?...see previous notes upon 'all of that' i.e. that opened bank letter etc etc...go figure.

...and well - having entered the clacton HSBC branch - this morning, nobody was around from 'upstairs' at the HSBC, to deal with my query...and so having read an 'ask-at-the-counter' sign...i was then to queue for a short while...to then have a word with an assistant...name tag - 'kay' - at one of the kiosk desks....she was to tell tell me that "none of them would come down" for that...but on the other hand, she could help me (i had asked if a more 'secure' system' could be arranged - rather than the royal mail).....and after having asked for my phone number....she then cut up the 'replacement debit card' and told me that she would arrange for a substitute card to be sent to the bank - and that within 4 days, i would be sent a letter telling me to come into the bank, to collect it....and of course, i would have to have photo ID in order to pick it up.....and well, that sounded like a very good idea to me...considering what had happened....see previous notes - go figure.

....and so now, i simply have to wait until the HSBC sends me a 'notification' letter...i then have to go into my local branch, with photo ID - to pick up my new 'substitute' debit card...nothing could be simpler, right?

...and yet, having been held out as 'bait' for the ill cult and their networks - for so long...i sense that nothing is really going to be that 'sensible' about any of the above -  or that 'easy' is it?

....and what else?....well, a certain 'visual number' going on, in terms of 'signals' and that is all i am going to say about 'that one'....apart from....an agent K reference....a number of 'large black sweets' in a tray behind kay's computer, nearer to me than her - behind the glass.....and her necklace...which had been rapidly chosen, for her - which she had then 'got' immediately and put on, this morning....signifying 'M&S superwoman' freaking news 'chocolates'?....we're talking 'emu' here, again - aren't we?...enuf said....emu...morphine (in whatever form) - i.e. whatever way that the ill have chosen to 'float' it through customs.....'feeling like you are superwoman after you have taken morphine'....

...and what else can i add to the 'ensemble'?....but a rather strange M&S wine which was 'on sale' today, but had no price tag on the display - by the fast queue tills....a snake and whatwasitagain number?....a snake and a balloon + basket job, at any rate - upon the label, that is...as an illustration....go figure.

...oh and the 'rise-ling' might make sense, to MI5....the reisling - remember?
