You were probably dealing with those that interpret Geek into normal language.

There are departments there where you cannot speak to the people in them, even if your stood next to them at their desk!

Mind you the place is also full of septics on a jolly, sorry secondment.

Westminster Coroner’s Court was also given in an insight into Mr William’s secretive life, including the revelation that he had 26 pairs of womens’ shoes and boots as part of a £20,000 collection of female clothing.


Sian Lloyd Jones, the 31-year-old’s best friend, rejected suggestions that Mr Williams had an interest in transvestism, insisting the large collection of designer clothing and footwear would have been intended as gifts.

MI6 spy Gareth Williams was straight and not a transvestite, friend tells inquest - Telegraph

So were the shoes size 6 or size 11?

I mean this is odd, really odd. Who the fuck keeps 20 grands worth of women's clothes in their bachelor flat as gifts? Were they all the same size and intended for one woman? Were they a selection of sizes so that he could simply whip out a dress for that special lady he just met?

It's more like he would get his prostitute (male or female) to dress up first in expensive designer gear before being tied up, tied down, locked inside a bag.

I was on a course recently with 2 of them. Both seemed pretty normal to me.

That's two out of the 1700+ there. The vast majority are ok, many are ex-services, or the local public, and a fair amount of outside contractors. It's when you go deeper you find the uber geeks, weirdos and freaks. Think of whole departments full of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs clones, add a big dollop of secrecy, and complete lack of social skills.

Yes, but less sense of humour, and lots of zits.

Just because the family members aren't doesn't mean there's no journo's, the last thing we need is "calous remarks about murdered spook" plastered on the front page of the sun
