I had asked two questions on Google Answers last Sept/Oct about a man I believed to be an MI5 agent during the Thirties and Forties.
The Researcher (Answerfinder-ga) produced great answer including a name but (understandably)not his date of death which I needed in order to get a Death Certificate - which might have the effect of persuading the Home Office to open his file under the FOI.
His daughter had seen my questions and contacted Google Answers who refused to give her my details.
However, after Google Answers was 'retired' at the end of 2006, she found 'the real me' through this site and she then contacted me earlier this week via my own website.
Accordingly, I've now ordered a Death Certificate and she's also giving me stacks of information about her Dad who's a really interesting guy.
More than I could ever have hoped for!
Now if only Pinkford (formerly Pinkfreud) would write a celebratory Po my happiness would be complete.
This ain't Pinkford standard, so it ain't really a po, But it sometimes rhymes, though:
Probonopublico Doesn't do it all for love; Sometimes he works for dough. Bryan, oft "Worried of Hove, Has a penchant for MI5, 6, and so He often writes books to prove The Home Office doesn't really know Diddley squat, by Jove.

Huggery muggery, Probonopublico Asked when an agent's demise had occurred. Lo! The man's daughter Has cleared up the mystery: MI5's secrecy's shaken, not stirred.

Pinky's new 'signature' reminds me that I saw Honor Blackman in a play last November. She was almost 79 at the time and she still looked stunning: as slim and elegant as always.
A remarkable lady. The play had aged more than the actors.
For the benefit of those who are baffled by my comment, Honor Blackman played the part of Pussy Galore in the 1964 Bond film 'Goldfinger'. Previously, she had been John Steed's sidekick in 'The Avengers', a television series.

Deep was the cover and of course dark was the night (stormy too). A shaft of light finds its target; the dead are named and dated -- no thanks to Gurgle.
