The High Court in London heard evidence today in the case of wrongful dismissal of a " very senior" female MI6 official, who according to the prosecution refused a glass of whiskey during a mission briefing. Giving evidence the MI6 official sated that she rejected the whiskey because it had " only just gone past b****dy breakfast " and imbibing the liquid would have "undeniably" resulted in having to go out mid morning and get a McDonalds, thereby leaving her desk open to the possibility of cyber-terrorism hacks.

It is further alleged that as the defendant was leaving the briefing, a member of the cabinet rushed over to her, grabbed her arm and whispered; " Do you not watch f****ing Bond films?". This allegation has been strenuously denied by both MI6 and the Government.
Secret Service Historians are divided in their pinpointing of where this tradition originates from exactly but they are in agreement that it probably surfaced some time between The Spy Who Love Me and For Your Eyes Only. Up until now the machinations of the secret service have naturally been shrouded in secrecy and many readers may well be fascinated to read what goes on when determining who should be assassinated next, but this is far from new news to some.
In the past Bob Beckett of the Association of National Vending Machines has spoken of the "deluge of complaints from both MI6 and Parliamentary officials " complaining about the lack of variety in the corridors of power. " It still baffles me why state endorsed extraction of hostages can't be discussed over a Capri Sun" said Mr Beckett during a speech at The Guild of Vending Machines Conference last year.
A decision is due next week
