#4  Man, I'm really on a losing streak. Didn't get picked for Pope, somebody else got appointed Detroit Emergency Manager, and now I've been passed over for Director of MI5. This sucks.

#3  So MIx are STILL recruiting from Cambridge grads, despite having found a lot of them to be moles....

Hope they check them a bit more these days, mind you those with a false faith in the capability of bureaucracy are running the country (into the ground) now.

#2  Sir Andrew has worked for the service for 30 years and is 50 years old. So they start them young in the M's.

I get the feeling he has seen some interesting duty over the years, being in operations and all.

Of course, we only know what they want us to know.
