I'll probably just buy the bluray when it comes out which seems to be my latest pattern.<br />However, the way this country treated Alan Turing was nothing short of a bloody scandal. I know he got the pardon, the recognition post his suicide etc. and now even a new Institute which will continue research in the area he pioneered will be named after him but still I feel all far far too little too late.<br />I was trying to point out to my daughter that in my lifetime (I was 6 when the law changed) it was illegal for any homosexual acts. Then when I was a teenager and at school with a couple who clearly were a couple we all played along with the little ruse which included procuring one of the occasionally a girlfriend who either willingly took on the role as they would be the one to turn them or simply through some bizarre ignorance and we'd spread the word that they were with girl x or y now for a few weeks esp in the earshot of the sort of teachers who'd liked to have uncovered other goings on. I vaguely knew one boy at another school near me that was expelled in the 6th form and lost his chance at a uni education on the basis of consistently breaking uniform rules, it was general knowledge that was a set up to just get him out due to him being gay. She looked at me like I was mental. "Love it wasn't legal to be gay until you turned 21" - again the look was classic... Kids today, luxury bloody luxury etc. etc. etc.Furtheronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903753972242964410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-57669629550421683102014-11-26T14:37:54.817+00:002014-11-26T14:37:54.817+00:00I think that I'd like Bunty, John, although, I...I think that I'd like Bunty, John, although, I think that I would limit my time with her !!!!! …….

When you want a day off you can't get it & when you want extra work, like now, no one is out sick or needing you to cover their shift. Nice of you to take the Samaritan early shift.
