Alan Turing was considered one of the geniuses of early computing - but he met a sad fate at the hands of the establishment.

The powers that be and the church have a lot to answer for.

Never can see what it is to do with anyone else in the bedroom what goes in between a couple, the do gooders should concentrate on helping the children and families who are struggling or one of the animal sancturies instead of busying themselves thinking about the gay community in their beds - bloody pervs. (not the gay community)
Think that should have gone in rants  ;D welllll they make my ar--e laugh
ps I blame Pete cos he put the post out  :))
