Anyone fancy this job



UK intelligence needs to do more to recruit middle-aged women and mothers to be spies, using websites like Mumsnet, according to senior MPs.
In a report, the Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) said such women were an "untapped recruitment pool" for MI5, MI6 and GCHQ.
It said more than half of the civil service were women, but the figure was 37% in the intelligence agencies. 
Hazel Blears, the Labour MP who led the report, called for a culture change.

Do you think we should suggest MM too

Only problem being our meno brains would make us forget what we had to report, and we'd lose the people we were supposed to be following when we had to rush to the loo.   At least the hot flushes would be beneficial - taking layers on and off all the time would keep changing our appearance.

Plus we couldn't be a Mata Hari as most of us have no libedo ! 

[Dorothy]

Most of us don't have a figure like hers either anymore...at least, I don't!

And if we were interrogated we couldn't give away any secrets because we wouldn't be able to remember them.

I read about that somewhere, can't remember where now. Ooh we'd be ever so good, nobody would suspect us at all.

   wrong age group to be in Mumsnet?

[littleminnie]

 I wonder if we would be well paid.

[Ju Ju]

I have missed my vocation!

[littleminnie]

We might be really good!

[rosebud57]

Women definitely know how to read minds, especially mens so I think we would be brilliant.

[littleminnie]

And we can multi-task.

[CLKD]

I *could* multi-task - can't remember when though
