Mr Mooney
In our sixth form we had a rather eccentric teacher, Mr Mooney. A short, stout man with round glasses and thickish white hair, Mr Mooney taught Law and Politics if I recall. I did not take either of those subjects, so it could have been one or the other.

Anyways, Mr Mooney was a regular feature in our Sixth form and could be seen day in, day out, doing his teachering thing.

That is until the night a Panorama special was aired on BBC1 talking about spies and Nuclear secrets. Turns out Mr Mooney was big in to his international spying shit and was exposed, mugshot and all, as a stealer of information pertinent to the design, construction and operation of Nuclear Submarines.

Mr Mooney didn't turn up at School the next day. Or the next. Or at all after that. He went Kaiser Soze on our asses. In our yearbook, Mr Mooney's form are all arranged for their photo with a space in the middle with the caption: 'but Mr Mooney, where are you?'

I've no idea how good he was.

Presumably, you have some kind of link to a news story about this.
Only, it strikes me as this would be quite a big news story.

Or newspapers, or newspaper archives or the truth, it seems.

And moved to the USA to run a coffee shop.

No internet liez
He lived on a houseboat. Hmm, hard to trace no?

The program was aired one night. Next morning -poof- he was gone.

There'd be some kind of wiki article about this presumably.
What with, a spy working undercover, detected only by those noted spycatchers at the BBC, would be a PRETTY big story that people would write about for years later.

The fact that when you google 'mooney teacher spy submarine' you get this page as the second result cries bullshit.

I would actually have believed him more if he'd have told some lurid 'I fucked my teacher' story.

You never saw this program, mostly because it never existed, I've looked.
One of your classmates made up some bollocks when in actual fact he probably just had enough of dealing with idiotic pricks like you and jacked it all in.

This happened
I have no proof. There is nothing on the internet, and I'm not going to trawl through The St Ives Town Crier archives to drag up a newspaper article. Neither am I going to contact the BBC for a copy of the program in question.

Still, on the upside this post has been my first to attract a couple of this site's more notorious winged monkey monitor spunkers, so in that respect I can sleep easily at night, box ticked.
