  • 22:43 "Story of Doctor Who" to be broadcast on BB7 on Sunday (and as podcast). Suspect will be very New Who focussed, though. #
  • 22:44 @s_adelheid How is it? The only Merton I've read is the Seven Story Mountain. #
  • 00:04 Watched episode of "Edel und Stark" (German screwball comedy series in Berlin law firm), which always makes me laugh. And so to bed. #
  • 08:32 @lizbee Only fail if it's John Ringo, I think. (Putting Sayers on the list struck me as particularly daft. World wd be poorer w/o Harriet). #
  • 11:06 At bletchly park, choosing hats. #
  • 11:32 Lots of interesting machinery i don't understand! #
  • 15:20 Rather boggling at 'gallant' pigeons of ww2. Gallant? #
  • 15:24 Like the pigeon basket cum floatation aid tho. #

Gallant pigeons???

In this context, makes me think of IP via carrier pigeon (http://www.blug.linux.no/rfc1149/)...

Pigeons used for carrying messages in WWII, some of whom won medals (though I remain sceptical as to whether a pigeon can be conspiciously gallant. Not really related to Bletchley's wartime activities, but there's an exhibit on them all the same.

IPVCP? Golly ;)
