The Our Girl Addicts Thread 66 Stay focused, Stay alert, Stay alive and carry on....spying

[Ilovelblue]

We started to follow Our Girl back in 2014 and although there will be no further series, we do revisit from time to time. We have watched all seven series of Soldier Soldier to keep up our military terminology and have galloped through all three series of The Musketeers. There was a definite connection between Our Girl and The Musketeers in the delightful form of Luke Pasqualino. We have now agreed to watch the old BBC series of Spooks and are currently in the middle of series 3. Please join in if this grabs your attention.

Poor HR, so maligned and only trying to do their job...yep I used to work in HR once.

Oh good the journalist knows Ruth.

That's it Ruth, spit it out...

HR are often the subject of sarcastic comments as I recall eejit.

The Capital City guy doesn't strike me as Ruth's type really. Does he know she's MI5?

It looks like another agent or higher up, got wind of the diary and the publishing plan's for it

I hate doing recruitments

I guess Douglas/Declan whoever must know something of Ruth's background to go to her.

thing is, I understand Ruth's aversion, but when turning assets, that can be a useful bread and butter method so to speak,

Ruth has one of those retro radios in her kitchen.

If I’m following this, it is very complicated.

The thing is, you usually get the polished version of candidates, and in their line, you need to know who would crack vs who can hold the line ect

Yes, but he was talking about colleagues and she was thinking of herself.

This is going to be Spooks on Spooks by the look of things

Ooooh eejit I loved doing recruitments and sifting through CVs. Maybe I'm more like Harry and wanted to nosey into their hobbies and the like!

ah, my miss understanding, my apologies

I must admit, I'd then have an ops team run the profiles through the net, and pull all revelent, data on them to build a bigger profile of them

it certainly seems that way

These days they'd get all manner of in appropriate social media posts...good job I'm never thinking of applying for MI5, they'd have a field day if they tracked me down to Mumsnet

Oh, look it's Jo!

Rhu, 😂😂😂

... but remember Rhu that in our early days of OG1, weren't there some references to MI5 wanting the likes of MN people to recruit?

personally I'm not sure what they think of me, I guess I can ponder but I guess the overall perspective would be OMG,

My meter man never looked like that

This Jo has her eye on Adam by the looks of it. I think I'd be rather smitten if he turned up to read my gas meter.

He is a hottie
