Espionage

1. The first thing to do is look the part. This requires the following pieces of stylish and practical clothing: a trench coat. This can be reused with Suggestion S, so it's money well spent. A hat. This should be of the 1950s variety. I'm sure there's a proper name for such a headpiece, but I don't know it. From now on, therefore, it shall be known as the Spy Hat. A nondescript grey suit. A pair of dark glasses.

2. A suitcase will also be essential, preferably filled with government papers, state secrets, dead bodies (See Suggestion S), etc.

3. Spy on someone. Anyone will do. What does he look like? What's he doing? What possible links to Comintern might he have?

4. Follow him. Everywhere. Occasionally cough innocently.

5. It is essential that he doesn't notice you. Each time he looks back towards you, hold a copy of Pravda, failing that Socialist Worker, as if you are reading it.

6. Just to make sure he doesn't realise you are shadowing him, put on a fake moustache and beard. An eye patch may also be worn, according to your aesthetic taste. It's not important.

7. With your information collected, return home to Moscow. Another job well done.
