I've thought long and hard about posting this but I think it's fair that you all know.

'cod' is in fact a composite of many different people. As you are probably aware all internet sites are monitored by MI5 and The Special Branch. Mnet is no exception. When the site was created, and although it would appear to be of a 'fluffy' nature, MI5 were nevertheless interested. It would be too difficult and obvious to involve an undercover moderator in this kind of surveillance as the very nature of the work involves gaining the confidence of and personal information from posters. So, after several name changes, the character of 'cod' was established. 'cod' is in fact any given member of whichever team/shift is on duty in the MI5 buildings on the Southbank.

You will have noticed that 'she' has sons and is interested in fashion. This persona was chosen to enble 'her' to discuss what are considered to be feminine traits ie. fashion, and to discuss parenting boys only, as most of the MI5 operatives are male and could therefore identify. Her style of staccato and virtually unreadable posting ensures that the differences in expression/wording of any operative's posts will be unremarkable.

Although mnet members are usually a fairly benign bunch of people there have been issues which have made this level of surveillance worthwhile. Milupa brand and Tommee Tippee have been concerned at the increasing levels of hostility towards their products and are vigilant. Walls have ears.

But Passionflower! That's the whole point. From day-to-day postings about potty usage to state secrets. 'She' targets suspects with innocent chit-chat about the evils of pull-ups purely to lull them into a false sense of security.

Yes but its what's in Vitalumier - brain washing chemicals I tell you

bubble99 · 22/04/2006 23:02

Do any of you remember the spate of postings about 'city shorts.' It would have been on the 'style' board.

CT Shores is the name of a multi-national arms dealer with connections to the far east. MI5 have sleeper cell operatives and this was a coded call to them.

Niet, Cam (or something equally KGBish)

as long as you are wearing some decent clothes and haven't let yourselves morph into slugs, it's all good! :o

KristinaM · 22/04/2006 23:20

as soon as I read those posts about shorts from M&S I KNEW she was really a man

bubble99 · 22/04/2006 23:25

It's the pattern of posting that's wrong, isn't it?? We see 'her' interest in potty training (MI5 operative code-named 'X') and then the next day it's 'Would you wear this with chunky heels or a sling-back?' type stuff (operative code-named 'M')

Wait a minute bubble999 has anyone ever met you!! How do us innocent Mumsnetters know that you are not in fact a double agent, posting on here to create suspicion and unrest against an allied agent.

hunkermunker · 22/04/2006 23:28

I've met Bubble...well, someone I thought was Bubble. Hmm. The Bubble on here says she's fat...but the one I met wasn't.

Hmmmmm.

SomethingAboutMary · 22/04/2006 23:28

Mn is becoming a very weird place to be!

fairyfly · 22/04/2006 23:30

and what exactly does she want us for, MI5 trying to pin down the amount of mothers that talk bullshit, if so they've cracked a bloody good case.

RedTartanLass · 22/04/2006 23:30

hunker think we may be onto something here!!

Have you a question we can test bubble with???

zippitippitoes · 22/04/2006 23:30

and cod has a very big address book!

RedTartanLass · 22/04/2006 23:33

Wait a minute think I may be able to solve this easily!!! Were Cod or Bubble wearing black when they've been met?

Baddies always wear black, that's how you know they're baddies!!

Socci · 22/04/2006 23:34

Well, exactly. I have only met one MNer and I never assume that anyone on here is genuine, or indeed anything most people take for granted. When you think back to JF, etc and how "she" took in so many people. There were loads who could not believe the truth until it was unquestionable.

bubble99 · 22/04/2006 23:42

FGS!!! Shhhhhhhhh

At this moment 'she' is probably sitting in a swivelly chair stroking a white cat in a 'nouveau deco-is it deco? Well it was built in the 80's but it's bit green and whitey like a deco but let's stick a couple of those whirly satellite thingies on the front anyway' building on the Southbank.

The next post will be a 'do yuo liek thess hoes' typw thing.

Do you have that in a cork heel?

zippitippitoes · 22/04/2006 23:54

heels???
isn't that where you hide stuff?

Socci · 22/04/2006 23:56

bubble it's a bit uncharacteristic of you to start these jokey, cryptic threads which is why I have found this confusing.

fastasleep · 22/04/2006 23:58

bubble's always a larf...we've obviously seen different sides of her on MN!

Still totally baffled as to how anyone actually took this seriously sorry if I'm coming across all bitchy ..just... baffledness.

picassotriggerfish · 23/04/2006 00:00

bubble, your cod typing is suspiciously convincing...

Socci · 23/04/2006 00:01

Not taking it seriously, but stranger things have happened...well maybe not. Was this cod's idea then?
