Coincidence, synchronicity or just random
A few weeks ago, for reasons known only to the inner workings of a deranged mind, I decided to re-read Peter Wright’s 1987 exposé of the British Security Services:
Wright worked for MI5, and describes his frustrating and somewhat embittered search for a mole in the upper echelons of The Service.
George Smiley worked for the Secret Intelligence Service, or as it’s known MI6. And, in John Le Carré’s 1974 novel Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, worked tirelessly to uncover a mole in the upper echelons of The Service.
James Bond works for MI6, the Secret Intelligence Service, and last night, in the local Odeon, he was to be found riding rough-shod over the celluloid in a tangled story entitled the Quantum of Solace.
Last night, after returning, somewhat exhausted, from the cinema, I picked up the novel I’m presently reading, the said Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, turned the page and found this sentence:
Coincidence, synchronicity or just random – you choose.
