Thanks for the good laugh :)

Seriously though, your CV is impressive. I hope you'll land well, and quickly. In my (very recent) job hunt experience, the job market is currently mortally ill; the more senior and experienced you are, the more the insane interviewing and HR practices, and the inexplicable rejections, will hurt your soul.
