RIP Raymond "Jerry" Roberts

Whenever I see a Bletchley code breaker in the news I'm sad the country has yet to fully recognise their work, especially those for whom any recognition came too late.

Captain Roberts here was recently in a BBC documentary about the work of Tommy Flowers, and his own work on breaking Tunny and other codes.

Banksy Mate Be Altruistic

With the day I've had I could really do with a break, suffice to say its a costly day, and I've love a shining light to pop my way...

For instance, I could do with winning the lottery...

Or I'd happily swap Mr Banksy £38 a few times - maybe five would be good - for some pictures... I'd even let him pop all reclusive like into the back yard and do them whilst I put the kettle on and he tried to avoid spraying the dogs maybe.

I just need a break, a chance to see my head above water.

This isn't a misery of povery thing, I'm not poor in the classical sense, I just don't ever seem to get a break at the moment, not one good thing has really happened to spark a smile in so long.

Hey ho... Wish I was in New York I'd have had the pneumatic drill equipped rat... and for irony sake the sign saying "$60", who else could say they got $60 off of Banksy?
