Confused state over, back to normal, disorientated.
Dave Beedon01-Jan-2006 01:09
Your confusion derives from my stupidity. I meant to say "I sincerly hope you do NOT come to know..."
Note to self: wake up.
John Cooper31-Dec-2005 12:20
Confused, is what I am.

I happen to know that Turing couldn't crack the calendar code because he was using a defective abacus. By the way, we in the States spell his name with a "g" at the end and we are forgiving toward those who don't. The lecture notes for the class I will be attending reveal that the reason we use a "z" rather than an "s" is that we like to improve things. I sincerly hope you do know come to know the Tower of London from the inside, as there are no broadband connections there.

I challenge Big Blue to try and crack our calendar code, Alan Turin himself could not get a date from it.
I have to be very carefull about the next statement. If the triumphalist police see it, I will see the Tower of London from the inside.
The reason we use an "s" instead of a "z" in certain words is because it is our language, we invented it, we made it, we do what we like with it.
It is such a successful language that it is slowly becoming the language of the planet Earth. Every commercial airline pilot flying has to speak English. Of course bits of it will be adapted by the locals, a bit like a written dialect. But we do not mind, we are very forgiving.

Dave, the whole point of NVQ's is that everybody gets them regardless of attending classes. Since the government made it illegal not to have any qualifications. They made all exams easy to pass. Write your name on the paper (or make your mark) and you have passed. Actually get some marks and you get a merit. More than 10 marks gets a distinction and a job as a teacher. School exams are running at 100% pass rate.
What is the job you fear most in the battle ?
Dave Beedon30-Dec-2005 22:47
Thank you for the National Vocational Qualifications certification, but I am obligated to attend the class, lest I be re-assigned to the most feared job in The Battle.
Dave Beedon30-Dec-2005 22:45
That would be 11 a.m. my time. For security reasons I cannot name the time zone. Even though PBase's system clock is set to UTC, I refuse to order my life around it.
Your calendar algorithm is impressive, but now that you've revealed it, perhaps a slight change is in order so that it remains uncrackable.
Missing appointments is not good. I miss them for a simpler reason: I forget about the appointment.
The geography class is an intensive, two-week experience. It even analyzes the cultural values ascribed to the colors "pink" and "red" and the reason why some English-speaking countries spell “analyze” with an “s” rather than a “z.”

Dave, 11.00am. Would that be G.M.T. or U.T.C. or Zulu, or B.S.T. or any other local time.
The team and I always use G.M.T. but change our calender every 9 hours, 18 minutes, 27 seconds. It works well, nobody has ever cracked it. Although to be fair, I have missed a few appointments because I forget to change back when dealing with normal people.
The class is very short indeed, learn to substitute England for Britain, and English for British. Class over, you now have an NVQ.

My District Supervisor just informed me that I need to attend a remedial class in world geography. I'm told that an entire lesson is devoted to the distinction between England and Europe and to the distinction between "British Empire" and "English Empire." I am thrilled to be considered worthy of this special training, but dread the though of getting out of bed before 11 a.m. for the duration of the class.
As to the French, they seem to be annoyed by anything that is not French.
John Cooper29-Dec-2005 10:55
Dave, Yourself being the result of old English stock (the finest in the world) you would not be familiar with current machinations.
England is not in Europe, the English are not Europeans.
Europe starts the other side of the English Channel. The name English Channel is a cause of great annoyance to the French, who are Europeans.
Subjugation of England has been planned before. I will let you know if it happens.
Dave Beedon28-Dec-2005 21:24
I know I'm playing with the unthinkable here, but I'm beginning to think that the subjugation by Aliens of a certain island nation in Europe might actually benefit mankind.
Crispin of Hooe 28-Dec-2005 12:54
Absolutely no pink. We are English for God's sake.
Tarquin of Hove. 28-Dec-2005 11:18
I concur with No.1
No pink.
Hilary of Ham Cross. 28-Dec-2005 10:44
Has anybody explained to Mr Beedon that in the aristocracy the word pink means the colour red.
John Cooper28-Dec-2005 09:27
No pink, not now, not ever. Not for any reason, not under any circumstances. Not while I am alive, (not when I am dead). No way Mohamed. NO PINK.
Memo to self, possibly I have over emphasised my reluctance to a sartorial pinkness event.
Dave Beedon28-Dec-2005 00:11
The Ordnance Survey has a Project Echelon liaison officer who can explain what I'm talking about. He will be in touch in person within a fortnight, arriving at your house at 0400 GMT. He will knock on your door 167.4 times. Count the knocks carefully and be wearing pink when you open the door. Your subordinates must not be told. Top secret with prejudice. Your eyes only.
John Cooper22-Dec-2005 10:20
Dave, I will tell no one, not even "the team". Memo to self, what the hell is he talking about.
Dave Beedon22-Dec-2005 08:55
Since we are communicating on a secure, encrypted channel, I can share with you what I know about this. There is only one UFO here: the little black dot. The helicopter is a hologram projected by the UFO to distract us from tracking the real spacecraft. The white streak is the line of zero degrees longitude (Greenwich) that became unstuck from the earth's surface and was carried aloft by the wind. A secret government project put it back into place during a delicate night-time exercise. That's all I can say. Tell no one.
