I was going to go shopping on the basis that the mob would be locked up in their offices again, but then I remembered it's a bank holiday. Having assessed the state of the cupboards, freezer, and so on I've realised I only need about three things anyway, and can put those off until Wednesday or ThursdayOriginally posted by barrydidit View PostLeek and potato soup made ready for tea.

And that's the remainder of "Enigma" duly watched.
I'd forgotten what a good film it is.
Even having watched it before, the tension is palpable in places.
Gosh. the Poles are quite obsessed with not being mentioned in a film set in 1943.
Yes.
We know you figured out the pre-war 1933 Enigma.
And gave all sorts of stuff to Dilly & Co. in 1939.
But this is 1943 & things had moved on a tad by then.
Next thing you know it'll be claimed that Bill Tutte didn't figure out the Fish Lorentz teleprinter and Tommy Flowers didn't design & build Colossus.Last edited by zeitghost; 2 January 2017, 21:06.Comment
