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.

Since when has cod had an idea?

Hey don't be nasty to cod, I like cod and I will sit here and stand up for her if you're going to be nasty

fairyfly · 23/04/2006 00:06

Why on earth would this be true?

What would she get or need or find?

fastasleep · 23/04/2006 00:06

I think you work for a well known incontinance pad company FF.... I'll say no more.

Cam · 23/04/2006 00:07

Since when was Cam ever nasty?

bubble99 · 23/04/2006 00:07

So!......Mwahhahahahahahahah

Just when you thought you had got used to the usual 'I bought a can of tomato soup and I didn't notice that it was dented....can I take take it back?' type bubble. Her alter-ego Bombastic Bubble appears.

Am I really that dull??? Sad Is this so out of character??

bubble99 · 23/04/2006 00:13

Thankyou. They would. Anyway, and just to probably put this thread to bed, watch out for comrade codski's next thread. It will be coded. Nobody types like that unless it's being intercepted. Wink

Codski, have you ever been behind the iron curtain?

tamum · 23/04/2006 15:00

This is such a brilliant wind-up- excellent OP bubble :o I can't believe that anyone could really possibly have takem this seriously for 1 nanosecond?

Tutter · 23/04/2006 15:01

bubble, i think you may be right.

i think cod and her lot are also behind the boden ad. sure the boden lady's eyes just followed me as i moved round the room...

tamum · 23/04/2006 15:05

That's right Tutter, I could swear Johnnie was in the background, leaning against the wall, staring hard and flicking a coin up and down....

So, DH is right!

Everytime I go on a Muslim site I get spywarre attached to my browser (for thsoe who don't know, I am studying a religion degree, Dh just happens to be an electronics type with his second pocket money business, therefore ordering suspicious electronic components on a PC that spends all day on religion sites)

Well, I swear it's MI5 / FBI watching me, but Dh always said it was MN.... now I know the truth

It's both!

If anyone needs me, I'm at Guantanamo Bay
