Hello all

There's a rather fabulous story in the news today, which suggests that the security services could benefit from MNers' skills. What do you think - time for us to make a [false beard] emoticon?

I may or may not be called Chris in real life.

Of course I can neither confirm nor deny my spy status...

It's cos everyone knows parents have eyes in the backs of their heads Wink

MadeInChorley · 05/03/2015 12:13

I note that GCHQ, MI5 etc are not seeking spies via other parenting networks. The security services don't like ur tickers n glitter, hun. Hugs x.

They'd need your cooperation to find the best candidates MNHQ i.e. those of us who change our usernames regularly to avoid leaving a trail Grin

I may have to snog you for that, JustForBlog.

The first part of the application form is a LOT of fun. I used to fill it out when I was procrastinating from essays as a student.

every passing thought , OR....is that just what we want you to think?

OttiliaVonBCup · 05/03/2015 11:40

I think they already do.

They post the troll threads and then they approach the posters who go Hmm

analythical skillz
innit?

Showy · 05/03/2015 11:39

MNers with a predilection for inventing stories and duping people? Shurely not. No fantasist Walter Mitty types here at all.

I'd love to be a spy. Nobody'd expect it in my home-knitted tatty jumper and bedraggled hat. I look like I have no idea what's going on around me. I'd slip right under the radar.

Waitingonasunnyday · 05/03/2015 11:38

I've watched Spooks. Can I be Roz?

Seeker33 · 05/03/2015 11:38

Perhaps, as was said, they already do.

I love this Grin

HareRayZing · 05/03/2015 11:36

Well I'm not signing up.

I've watched Spooks.

Everybody I get attached to dies a horrible death.
