Working for MI6

I had a senior member of staff from another department asking me do I have connection with the secret service? It is a strange question to ask, even though it is said in jest I probably knew why it was asked. My friend phoned me on my work mobile and he thinks someone is listening to my calls because of the echo. Must admit it does sound strange. I sure like to know how I could find out.
Anyway out of curiosity I check on the vacancies at Mi6. It is probably not glamorous and not much different than most public sector jobs upon reading the description. Has anyone ever considered a career there?
I work in IT, a few years ago I fixed a friend's PC, I was told then that an IT expert from the "service" had a look at it before I did and could not do what I did. I thought it was rather flattering :))

    Did you switch it off and on again ? :))

    You need to unplug the mains power and hold down the on/off button for 6s, then power up again ;)

    Thats more like our service desk who refers the problems to me after royally screwing up :))
    Not real IT with field experience, unfortunately plenty around.

    Although, about an echo on the phone etc, Surely they would have come
    Up with a better way of " eavesdropping " these days ? Like Bourne making
    A clone of the phone ? ( my knowledge only comes from films ) :D

    Trust me, the days of waiting for a click as the other receiver is put down or looking out for a hair left across a door are long gone.

    If you're suspicious about yourself being spied on my first question would be; why?

    Unless you've been buying a few tons of ammonium nitrate I'd say you're not of any interest.

    Oh and the first rule about applying for the security services is that you don't tell anyone, including family and close friends, so I'd say by putting that little idea on a James Bond forum would be a clear sign of you falling at the first hurdle :))

    **** that me crossed off the list. I'm a Kommie anyway :))
    To some people I'm a target, won't delve too much. You know the saying "Evil prevails when good men do nothing" and too many people were willing to do nothing because Mr Blofel had his hand in everything. Well Dr Evil has now been replaced for good and his goons is going thankfully, even double crossing agent 006 who is on my tail has now been demoted and likely to leave.
    I've been in IT for decades and almost everyone is targeted in one way or another not just by the state but by the baddies too, some more than others especially one with an opinion that rocks the boat.

    An old room mate at college told me once (about 15 years ago) that he applied for a job and was called for an interview.
    I can't remember what the job was but he told me the interview turned out to be for the secret service and took him totally by surprise when he was informed what he was really there for. I think he kind of bricked himself a little since in shock. He mentioned he was not allowed to tell friends or family etc and he didn't until he was notified that he was not successful after the interview process.

    He is a pretty down to earth guy, very intelligent and works for the Police in London (well last time I heard from him) hence never really suspected his story to be bull. He used to get the mickey taken out of him as he had the most massive ears, huge nose, spots and was very posh. I think his old man was very high up in his day in the Army.

    Anyhow if true he was certainly no James Bond and no lady killer :)

    Many years ago I applied but failed...but I do still have the polite rejection letter on official stationery which is almost worth framing and putting on the wall!
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    :)) That would be great framed. -{

    I once saw a tramp throw up while standing in the rain on vauxhall bridge.

    does that count for anything?

    Maybe he was actually one of our top men. Having become disillusioned
    Perhaps with some shrapnel in his shoulder. Drinking too much Heineken ?

    now you mention it, he did try talking to me and steered the conversation onto where i was from, bank details and even my favourite colour.

    do you think he was pumping me for information? :o

    You may have been lucky that was the only
    Pumping he was interested in ! :))

    Clearly a top undercover agent, MG. Consider yourself lucky that you're not still languishing in some black site.
