I was at Bletchley last weekend as it happens. Very interesting but long Covid queues in the cold. I’m fascinated by all that Enigma stuff but I hit my ceiling of understanding too quickly.

This is a genius troll
I think I’m flattered but not sure what you mean.
No need. Plead "ignorance". Pretty good chance you'll win.
Good luck. This is a total boomeroozo brain chuck.
I now know the answer. I'm blooming furious. Lost out twice now. Bring on the next one!

Did you not see the Turing/Bletchley Park thread on PR a while ago? Absolute mess from Globby

An all time classic, even better than the "receiving the salute" and "pronounced him dead" ones
He’ll be telling us in only took him a day to count to a million next
Oh, the one about the watch!

Not sure about the watch. It's a Rolex, But now I have a Garmin Fenix. It's got GPS plus a lot more.
Possibly can tell me a stinking individual is within range. Don't need that. I can smell you a mile off.

Fenix is way overpriced, i have a Venu that outperforms the Fenix in pretty much every area and is half the price.

Trouble is that I'm wedded to Garmin. They produce the best sailing navigation equipment.
Managed to get though a very tricky channel with rocks everywhere. And avoid a nasty rock in Antigua.

Did you know that the G in GPS is actually a dedication to Globus who created GPS but didn’t want to take credit for it.
In the same way graphics cards were originally called Globus Cards after their inventor.

I was involved in "mapping". The Post Office eventually came up with ACORN, which is apposite.

So it is. I'm not very price minded. Just bought the sapphire version.

Thanks. Never thought I'd get that approbation. Well deserved.
