We'd just wandered over to the MI5 website (as one does), and noticed an indecipherable squiggle at the bottom of the home page. Which we pressed. And got to this. Nope, we can't find anywhere that'll translate for us. We assume it's a mirror, but there's no way of checking (without intensive language tuition). If we were native Welsh speakers we'd be a tad put out.

Shame! Since they've redesigned, they've lost the bit about the official secrets act where they say something like "of course, if the official secrets act applied like that, we wouldn't be ablke to tell you what colour the director's office carpet is (a rather fetching shade of grey-purple) or that the canteen serves a remarkably good chicken curry".... Which was a rather nice touch, I always thought.

(tried googling for the original page, in case it was cached somewhere, but no luck (http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=mi5+curry+carpet&btnG=Search&meta=))
