9 months after a 12-hour operation to have a brain tumour the size of a tennis ball removed, Bondy completed the Monaco Half Ironman triathlon. Bondy completed the Amsterdam marathon in each of the following 2 years and in 2011 completed the Almere full Ironman triathlon. Now he is looking for more challenges...

The Photon Torpedo

Note from Bondy: With no time to add a post to the blog, I have simply taken an excerpt from Captain Kirk of Star Trek fame...


The Enterprise

Captain's log, stardate 9 April, 2008...

Starfleet has informed us of a possible residual tumour presence within the galaxy known as Bondy. We went straight to the galaxy at a speed of warp 9. Our head engineer Scotty did struggle with this, stating quite clearly "Cap'n! I canna meck eet go enne fastarrrr!", but
warp 9 got us there in plenty of time.


The photon torpedo device

We found that in the said galaxy, there was a device that would enable us to launch a photon torpedo at the potential tumour presence. It worked on the Klingons, so it would work on a tumour.

Cloak mechanism

The head constellation of Bondy galaxy was covered with an elaborate cloak mechanism, that included a clearly marked target. Almost too easy...

At my command, The Enterprise launched five photon torpedoes at different angles. Four of them for a duration of less than ten seconds, and one for approximately 25 seconds, and it was as simple as that. I watched to see the path of the torpedoes...

Captain James T Kirk

Upon closer inspection of Bondy, everything seemed in order. Symptoms close in similarity to a very minor hangover were not enough to stop Bondy from playing touch rugby for two hours the night after the treatment.
