The Monkey from MI5? (part 2)

We rejoin your scampering host once he has departed London for the cooler, wetter climbs of the North, sat on the train with his trusty laptop showing episodes of season 2 of The Unit on DVD.  Earlier that day my friend and colleague Captain Graycat had provided me with this desktop background:

The observant and Bond loving geeks amongst you will recognise this as the background of the laptop that ‘M’ (Dame Judi Dench) uses in Casino Royale.

At this point in my monkey migration I had just finished DVD 2 of The Unit (very good show by the way) and was swapping the DVD’s over and had minimised the VLC player I was using. The following is a factual account of what happened, names have been changed to protect “the stupid”.

The Stupid: “*ahem* are you sure you should be advertising that?“

TheBadMonkey: “Sorry, What?” while taking the headphones out of my ears.

“Are you sure you should be advertising the fact?”

“What fact? I’m sorry, I’m really not following you here.”

Pointing at the screen The Stupid clarifies “You know, who you work for…”

I look at the screen and look at her in disbelief, how can anyone be so daft? “that’s just a picture, I work for an engineering firm”

“Nah, it says where you work for on the screen”

“Really, in all seriousness I work for an Engineering firm”

The Stupid looks at me, looks at the screen and a sudden light of realisation dawns in The Stupid’s eyes.  Perhaps there is hope for the human race after all…

“oh I understand” says The Stupid, taping their nose knowingly “say no more.”  at which point they sit back and smile in the fact they have met a real life “00″ and will be able to trade the story for drinks later.

It just goes to show, that I am not always right….
