Bugger. I've given away state secrets by mentioning the HQ is in South Oxfordshire. give it a few days and I'll be silenced  That will be a bugger, you'll miss the Henley on Thames knee's up. I can't attend after all, the Dwarfs RSVP to yet another party trumps a jaunt to HOT and a belly full of Pimms |

I'm sure many people have friends working for MI6, particularly anyone who's been in the army. There's a lot of them about and most are akin to coppers without uniforms who don't have to play by the rules. As police numbers have famously shrunk by tens of thousands, I wonder how many more MI6 operatives have been recruited. I better go and google but tbh, with the nature of the beast being what it is...

Ah, they are busy continuously recruiting and grown from 1000 a few years ago to 3200 now and set to add another 1000 by 2020. So we're slowly swapping coppers for secret service agents who are above the law. Ace.

I can't attend after all, the Dwarfs RSVP to yet another party trumps a jaunt to HOT and a belly full of Pimms The protocol for civilian consultants working for MI6 is that if you divulge even "moderately sensitive information" in public you get a warning and a brief meeting with scary and threatening people who verbally communicate to you that you "do not want to do it again". Trust me these people are scary. I will be able to attend Henley events as usual but can not ever talk to anyone about anything other than boats, and boating. |

So do I but they pay cash! Jim, you appear to be on fire, did you never see this public information film? I think the dates wrong, Welephant goes back to the 80's when I was a kid. |

Cropredy lock is nice. I like the cottage beside it. Very quaint.
Having been in a meeting with some scary people earlier I realise now it is in my best interests (threats of violence from my handlers) that I stick to boat related topics from now on when using publicly viewable internet sites.

I, once nursed a guy who'd had his elbow shot off in gang 'war' retaliation...he refused to have his arm amputated so they attached it to his stomach to create a new elbow..however wasn't much use cos no joint there... Just thought I'd add a bit of off topic...... |

I bet he can impress his mates down the pub though with an arm coming out of his tummy and can covertly pinch girls' bottoms whilst looking innocent.
