"MI5 should recruit from Mumsnet..."

[KateMumsnet]

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?

BoffinMum, my mum could do that. The pub thing, not tell blonde women apart, though I'm pretty sure she can do that too. She's amazing at getting people's life stories. She told me my hairdresser's daughter's name, age, where she was at school, etc ... after one appointment, while he'd been cutting my hair for about two years and I didn't even know he had a child.

She once gave a colleague a ten-mile lift and got three generations' worth of life stories out of this woman. She was wasted as a maths teacher, I swear.

I see my name has been taken in vain
