A member of staff close to "C", Frank Stagg, said that he would never forget his bosses' delight when the Deputy Chief Censor said one day that one of his staff had found out that "semen would not react to iodine vapour".And just what were they doing when they discovered that..?
I think this has all the hallmarks of a typical MI6 misinformation story - did you not clock the following:
ReplyDelete"Mansfield Cumming, the first chief (or C) of the SIS was "making enquiries for invisible inks at the London University"."
...
'And just what were they doing when they discovered that..?'
ReplyDeleteProbably getting a bit enthusiastic in applying some tincture to the social measles?
Could make for some interesting communiques though -

so that's why my collection of porn while living in shared digs seemed to deteriorate in condition without any obvious explanation. I remember taking great care of my stash sometimes even employing a primary school trick of using cereal packaging to cover paperback texts to avoid damage and provide a wipe clean outer layer.
ReplyDeleteHad I known my stash had become a 'dead letter drop' for our security services then I might have tried to contact them myself to advise on some basic mathematics taught during the encryption module of my computing studies.
This story is jizz bizarre.
