Things I learnt from watching Spooks

[Jhokur]

Having guns waved around generally has no impact on bystanders around, or immediately and quietly clears the area.

That MI5 have had their men's toilets refurbished, since Series 7.

Of course quark is a word! It can either be a subatomic particle, as I learnt in Physics, or a type of bird, which I found out in Maths. Maths questions are weird...

I have learnt that MI5 evidently has no paperwork to do. And that they apparently spend half of their time running round London searching for bombs.

These have all been hilarious,TeaLady you got in before me about the whiskey.

Other things i have learned,the BBC should have a health warning before it starts

If you shout "Clear the area!" people ignore you...
If you shout "There's a bomb!" they run around like headless chickens trying to clear the area as you originally said.

Always have a lighter with you even though you don't smoke.

If you are in a lift and the lights go off, hit the deck.

If you are on a cargo ship and it is taken over by pirates, pretend you are an Eastern European prostitute.

Blue denim shirts are back in fashion for ladies.

Oh good! I feel fashionable.

If you see people trying to getaway from a crime scene hit speed-dial to yourself and leave your phone in the back of their car.

My cat has the same name as Ruth's cat.

Always knock when you enter Harry's office.

If someone accuses you of something play dumb.

And on a more serious note...
That if you like someone and you think they like you, take the risk because you never know what will happen tomorrow.

There is no such thing as a broken bone for MI5 officers, only death.

LOL! This is like Kiefer Sutherland's story about filming 24 in NY for the 8th season. He was running down the street with a gun and screaming and yelling, and none of the bystanders even BLINKED.....

Or apparently London is being saved by only a team of 3 field agents! YAY!

Tell me about it, I've already gotten sick TWICE because I was literally worried sick about Lucas and his future.

See this is why this "dances" smiley should be called "Running Around Like Decapitated Chicken" smiley!

They also heal very fast at an alarming rate and learn super-human abilities such as teleportation and jumping over cars and buildings!

Not to mention your military issue Leatherman.
