  • GCHQ Sent me a Recruitment Video
     OP - November 22, 2008, 04:21 PM
     A plain piece of paper came with the video - it only said (type-written):

    Derar (sic) Mr ********

    Please find enclosed, some information. A man named Venables will be contacting you in due course.

    Regards,

    A. Friend.

     Cheesy

    I watched one of the videos on the CD - about being a linguist at GCHQ, it was hilarious (even though it is a legit video/CD)  Cheesy

    And the guys in the video were soooooooooo gay.  Cheesy

    I guess it's true what they say about the British Secret Services. No wonder Russia's best tactic for 'turning' British agents during the 'Cold War' was to send them gay lovers Cheesy

    btw I've nothing against Gays Smiley

    GCHQ didn't really send me it, Awais - someone sent it to me as a joke.

    I think I know who it is Wink

    And for those who don't know:

    GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) is the British Intelligence Agency responsible for listening to phone conversations, internet, and all sorts of spying stuff.

    Nothing to get, really. Someone who knows I speak Arabic and English am not a Muslim anymore etc... thought it would be funny to try and pretend that GCHQ are trying to recruit me to spy on Muslims by sending me this stuff in the post.

    The GCHQ CD is a genuine one.

    Whoever sent it made a mess of the letter though lol

    Alternatively it might actually have come from GCHQ and I've just blown my chances of joining.

    Damn and I really wanted one of those pens that shoots bullets, takes pictures and makes tea and and a watch that that unfolds into a life-raft - complete with bikini-clad babe.

    Where did the person who sent it to you get a legit recruitment vid from GCHQ? Huh?  How many spies do you hang out with, Hassan? Cheesy

    I'm pretty sure it is.

    I have the CD case and booklet on my lap right now - it is all very professionally printed and designed on expensive card-type paper, with all the addresses logos etc... the CD itself is a very well put together interactive multi-media presentation.

    If this is fake, someone went to a hell of a lot of trouble for no apparent reason.

    Clearly somebody got hold of this recruitment CD from somewhere - and sent it to me as a joke.

    And I think I know who that person is - though I have no idea how he/she got hold of the CD.

    At the end of the linguist video one guy says "Ideeni Coca Cola" (Give me a Coca Cola). Actually they probably wouldn't say "Ideeni Coca Cola" they would say "Ideeni Coka"

    Small point I know - but if they're in the spy game, then a small detail like that could mean you get busted or not. grin12 LOL

    well, I used to be so jealous that M15 or GCHQ never got in touch with me. Now I'm so pleased they haven't - I mean, it would be so embarrassing. You should have kept it to yourself, Hassan.

    That’s the reason they should recruit you: to correct seemingly minor, but potentially disastrous, mistakes like that!
