As my very long term followers
will be aware I have had many run ins over the past nearly three years with
forces that lurk in the shadows; dark forces that can sneak up on you and suck
the brains out of even a fully grown antelope or brown bear, yes we are talking
Zombies, Ooooooo no sorry we are talking Spies. Yes those men in the dark
designer sunglasses who on a rainy day in Britain stand out like a sore thumb
as they stumble about unable to see where they are going. Those of you who
remember the Einstein Cube or the Jules Verne Pocket Oracle and Prophecy
Machine will know of my many run ins with the CIA, MI6 and various other
security forces including the KGB in the past. So I have to say that as the
eccentric child of cyberspace using the world of social media to write my diary
I must confess that the recent news that certain forces are monitoring the
world of social media is not new to me. In fact I feel I may owe you all a bit
of an apology for bringing them here in the first place.
If you think
about it poor old Charles and his mate Quentin the back room boys at GCHQ,
which if you Google tells you their address and telephone number, which is
silly (hello chaps) who are monitoring all the chit chat of social media have a
terrible job, just think how boring it must be to sit and monitor stuff without
ever being allowed to make the odd comment on a Facebook page or follow the
occasional blog making witty remarks or say even start your own blog chatting
about life and stuff, Zombies and maybe take the cunning disguise of say an
Eccentric Child and part time Pirate in the strange twilight world of
Cyberspace, lets face it spies, particularly the back room boys will work much
better if they are happy in their work, and a bit of interaction with the
punters is just the ticket.
Anyway as
Charles and his mate Quentin would say themselves if you can’t trust a man with
an original portrait of President Putin, (a gift from the Kremlin) hanging on
his wall then who can you trust. And as I have said elsewhere tonight when the
nice Mr Steven Spielberg makes the film Tinker Tailor Rob Z Spy from my rather
popular serialized diaries the security forces will deny everything, well everyone
except Quentin and Charles who may be allowed to be extras in a dramatic scene
where the hero and his trusty Lemmings confront the arch villain, a man called
Moriarty who has accidently run onto the wrong set.
I had sort of reached 100 followers but tonight one of them has gone (farewell follower), such things happen. I fear it might be my friendly banter with Charles and Quentin at GCHQ who say they only follow me because they are rubbish at languages and are keen to stick with local British dodgy bloggers.
ReplyDeleteOr they may be concerned that I have an original miniature painting of President Putin hanging on my wall, but it was given to me as a present. Yes OK I am a sort of soft lefty who is a lets sort the world out sort of chap, and sort of thinks, from what I read in the news that President Putin does appear to be a bit power mad (OK a lot power mad)... but hay that is the nature of leaders. Never put in power a man who wants to be in power.
OK I am off the subject of the lost follower, it is just possible that they might have been Charles from the back room all along and having been sussed has done a runner. This if it is the case is a tragedy as this blog is a security GCHQ friendly blog, lets face it I need all the readers I can get.
All I hope is that my follower has not been bundled into the back of a black nondescript car and has been taken off to make a border exchange at Gretna Green....
But I wish you good luck ex follower and I hope you find many more blogs of interest along the way, but you will never find another one like this one.
I think your ex follower worked for GCHQ, and was frightened that you were on to him.
ReplyDeleteI think you may be right, I cant think why anyone would want to leave my blog in such hast without saying I am off farewell old chap . . . . It is a puzzle.
DeleteIt's true, there are no blogs like this one! It's one of a kind :)
ReplyDeleteHe must have worked for GCHQ. Maybe your blog was his assignment, but he messed up and got found out.
Thanks Miss Laura, my blog has it little faults what with the misspelling and mistyping and odd moments of madness but I am glad you think it is unique. It is one of my objectives.
DeleteI would work for GCHQ if I could have an assignment like that.
I'm sure your ex follower will be replaced by many more as the word spreads that Rob Z Tobor is GCHQ friendly. I'm looking forward to the Spielberg film!
ReplyDeleteI would be very happy if I was being monitored by GCHQ, it would be a great privilege, but I fear they may not have enough personnel to blog chase along with all the other stuff they do.
DeleteI think I know who has stopped following but I am unsure why.....
I think that if he or she is an Ex follower you may be able to find them at another blog titled "Ex" as that would make perfext sense. Then if they leave the Ex blog and return to you they would be ExExFollowers. Oh, I just realized that if the person died then soon or maybe even already they have become a z-om-bie which gives you a follower of an undesirable unkind. Now before I got on this "Ex" thought I was thinking about something else but I got sidetracked by my wife so I may think of it here in a little bit.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't find out what an Einstein Cube was or is. I have been gone away from the diner for too many days so I am off to see Jesus hopefuLLy for breakfast. I just need my socks to get dry. I stiLL haven't determined the lost thought from the previous comment. I must do many things today so it may be awhile before I get my Albuquerque journey notes to my blog, but at least I was working on the veRy rough outline while tripping. Oopz, Cooper heard me say the word "going" to Tamie and now he is upset ....
DeleteOh, terribly funny story: Just as I hit the Publish button on the previous comment I heard my wife say some words. She had been looking for the keys to her vehicle and thought maybe I had lost them and was mumbling around carrying a few things trying to get to work, when aLL of a sudden she said, "Oh, my keys are in my freaking hand." (The eXact word she used was freaking.)
DeleteOH, I remember now after seeing my word 'mumbling'. My lost thought: You had used the words "sore thumb as they stumble" and I thought that in NSA talk they might use the con-traction 'sothumble' to replace those five words as one. I tried to seek employment with the NSA a few years ago after losing my job, but they did not appear to be interested in my skills, even though I have some veRy dandy ideas for in-cryption as weLL as out-cryption. Maybe secretly NASA is also just "A" part of NSA .... HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA ... which in Russian with the Cyrillic H making an N sound is close to NsANsANsA ....
Phew Mr ESB that is a fair bit today. But I am pleased I thought you may have been busy of late. Strangely I have done what you wife did with the keys in the past, but I did not use the word freaking I think in my case it was a naughty word, so your wife was very restrained.
DeleteI find it hard to believe that any company could not be interested in your abilities with words and maths Mr ESB, it was their loss rather than yours
I feel geographicaLLy chaLLenged.
DeleteThere is definitely something fishy about the "missing 100" which is a good name for a spy thriller on it's own.
ReplyDeleteIt is too much of a coincidence to just be a coincidence.
Therefore I claim CONSPIRACY! Keep your eye out for any jammie dodger crumbs around the keyboard - that's a sure sign of a scoundrel that is!
I plan to stuff the CD drive with Custard Creams, that will sort things.....
