This is video of Richard Dearlove, former head of MI6, being harangued and chased off by people armed only with what seem perfectly fair (if sometimes long winded) questions... |

Couldn't have been that good as an undercover agent if he got caught .. and allowing his place of work to be known. Maybe he used the excuse : I am an MI5 agent, I need to steal these books on encryption to do my job .. and Maggie (or whoever was in charge) wouldn't buy them for me. |

I wonder if there is any subtle link between his name "Dearlove", and "Dr. Strangelove" in
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
https://imdb.com/title/tt0057012/
Update : Doing a google search I see the association has been made by others before. |

did I say MI5? I meant MFI!
haha, well about 1995 there was a sketch in my local pub one afternoon. This guy was being a total arsehole so I chased him out, then he came back threatening me and my pals, so I set about him, gave him a fat lip and threw him out again. In this scuffle he dropped a packet of bacon from his pocket - at which point one of my pals stood on a chair, holding the bacon in the air, shouting 'Thanks for the pound of flesh ya bawbag!' haha
The guy came back again about 10 minutes later and started again, so I chased him out the pub, but he was lying in wait with an glass Irn Bru bottle and smashed it over my head. I looked at him and said 'You'll need to try harder than that' and started chasing him (no idea what I was actually going to do!) but this old guy tripped him up and let me jump in. After a few seconds the old boy (at least 65) had me in an armlock and a foot on the neck of the guy on the ground!
I was well impressed with his moves and immediately gave up. A plain clothes cop appeared and the old boy let him deal with the ned, but flashed a small lapel badge at the cop and told him he'd deal with me. 'Dealing with me' turned out to be a small chat in the pub, with me buying a couple of drams of malt for him. He basically just told me to be careful in future and not to lose the rag with scum - wise words really.
I asked him about the badge and he said it was MI5. It could have been anything really, but that plain-clothes cop immediately reacted to it. |
