Quoted from promotion plaice

I would pick being in the same room as Alan Turing and his team when they cracked the Enigma Code.

It has been estimated that the efforts of Turing and his fellow code-breakers shortened the war in Europe by more than two years and saved over 14 million lives.

A national hero that was let down by his country.

"In 2009, following an Internet campaign, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown made an official public apology on behalf of the British government for "the appalling way he was treated". Queen Elizabeth II granted Turing a posthumous pardon in 2013. The "Alan Turing law" is now an informal term for a 2017 law in the United Kingdom that retroactively pardoned men cautioned or convicted under historical legislation that outlawed homosexual acts."


Pretty quick for a posthumous pardon , it took 350 years for the Catholic Church to admit Galileo was right all along

First time I've laughed today following last night's disappointment KM  - so relatable!!  

To be honest, I've no great desire to go back to any particular battles etc....although the battle of Old Trafford in 1939 with Wolves would maybe get me interested

My dad went there to that game and what it would be to go back in time and watch the game alongside him - a kind of a "Back to the Future" event and even better if we had a different outcome with a Town win


As soppy as it sounds I’m still glad I met her.

Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Got to be careful when someone is looking over your shoulder 😉. Also you have to be on your best behaviour, for example, when you sank two bottles of red the night before.
