Or the program if you're just joining us thanks for being on the show this evening after your entries for something to declare where are you in the world right now do. You K. Send us an e-mail that just tell us what you've done today and where you are in the world it's a simpler time. On the show the scene is well we're all. Stories of snakes. Hunted by major snakes firstly that a man in a need to hide a 7 foot python. Secondly that they found a 2 headed copperhead snake. In Virginia well known to have just extraordinary little creature. Back in 986 when my wife and I were young. Ventured on a camping trip to the New Forest for a few days with our dog Jess it was a beautiful day so we pitched the tent and set out for a walk in the forest on reaching the forest entrance we encountered a sign that said Beware agence in capitals it was at this point we discovered or I discovered that my now wife has a morbid fear of snakes she instantly retreated back to the tent and spent the rest of the holiday and not a great look especially with a mini skirt and shorts the festival. Mind you did make sleeping more interesting because all I had to say was. Talk to me. And some. Just sent me. An intriguing story of a 3 foot. 3 from. Through again some text missing figure.

But. It's what I think that. Making all kinds of assumptions here but. Don't race them. The kind of launch them up into the sky and they do backflips Have you seen this. Thing and it's really interesting and will speak to one man that's one of the best in the country anyhow the best picture as well. Do the pigeon rolling. Come from the northeast. But age level 42 lessons in love one triple 3 style a message with the word Johnny or so 801691858 feel stories of snakes place having one only one funny one losing one if it in the gaps a one triple 3 Start a message with the word Johnny I had a really really interesting afternoon this afternoon researching about the nick but I haven't really taken a lot of time to take a look at the Nicola on the subsequent incredible work by The Codebreakers and I've not seen the film about Alan Turing's life and I'm definitely going to make a point about watching it now the resulting doing this is because computer historians have staged a reenactment all World War 2 code cracking at Bletchley Park a replica code breaking computer called a bomb was used to decipher messages scrambled by an Enigma machine Joining us now is Dr Roger Johnson one of the members of the trust who look after cheering as bomb at Bletchley Park and I'm really pleased to say he's not here now hello Dr Johnson how are you. Fine good lovely to have you here thank you very much for being with us and Firstly I think the point to a good start and off point because I'll never be able to do it justice is for you to give us an idiot's guide to the enigma and how it works and why it was so significant during the 2nd World War. The Enigma machine an accounting machine used by the German armed forces. From the 19th thirties right through to the end of the war. It. Was an extremely complicated machine with a last vast vast number of combinations of codes that could be applied to a message and the. Problem how to break the code so the 1st. Could Find out what the instructions were which are given to their own forces on the various fronts across the OR and it was as you say absolutely crucial because without breaking these codes we didn't know what was coming next we didn't know what the Germans were planning we didn't know what they were intending to do and this is where Alan Turing and his code breakers come in working at Bletchley Park but they needed more than mathematics didn't they they they in the end developed a direct call a computer I guess so a computer will I it's it's an extremely sophisticated electro mechanical device run and I think technically it's not a computer but it it's full of gear Wilson electronics and if you haven't seen it I can encourage you to go along this beautiful thing to see running it is an extraordinary looking thing so tell us about the bomb be aligned be and how yes we will need very important Yeah exactly take Yeah it could be quite unsettling otherwise and tell us how there was developed and how it then worked to crack the code of the enigma. Right well the origins were in the early 1930 S. The Germans started you say no what was originally a commercial shipping was by banks to send secure messages Lady Laura more difficult to crack the code and it's a mighty machine is it the coding machine is mechanical and because of the share complexity. Of the machine the only way to break it was ultimately to develop mechanical or somebody cheat methods of cracking it the I'm speaking to you tonight from Poland because throughout the 1930 S. Very skilled Polish mathematicians 3 of them broke the German carrier and all the way through the 1930 S. Each time the Germans made the machine clever they managed to follow and track that and then in 139 Poland realized they would be invaded and there with me saying just literally a month with all the war broke out in which to the astonishment of both the British and the French proponents arrived with 2 replica machines they'd never seen a real equipment machine you'd be using a mathematical skills they worked out how it must work and build a replica make it one to the British one to the French and the beginnings of the work which is number 88. The beginnings of black this machine the tone scale to the British and less enable the British then to start looking for wives and finding ways of breaking the code and a 19 as war broke out alum tearing. Again the not a brilliant mathematician took on the. Challenge of breaking we carried and the way he approached it was to design the ball machine and with help from another gifted mathematician called Welchman Together they built a machine which on a good. Code write German tell you and. Within about 3 hours the Germans changed the actual key they used a different key each time setting the same shame but it had different settings and every day the British had to find that new key and in the end usually we bomb the shame every sometimes in a sentence 3 hours the British could read the messages with the Germans were transmitting giving the orders to their troops of the day advance. Attack at that point and so on so this is immensely valuable information told the British among those in the front not only in France where of course ultimately to win $140.00 we have done curtains out but all the way across North Africa for example the battles in the desert heat messages with flowing and they codebreakers of Bletchley Park every day breaking we keep all to die and then reading the next week just a months ago McCain could read the messages since quick tape and 15 could be in the right so it was a most remarkable achievement and this is the bomb machine incredible just to look at I mean it's beguiling with these kind of Bank of cylinders which I think from memory have letters around them they're constantly telling trying to find that solutions are still something today that said it had 97000 pots and 12 miles of wiring does that sound right that's correct yeah that's absolutely right so one machine I. This is a single machine and in the wall there were $200.00 there were over $200.00 of these many of them left Chile and also in neighboring units around Bletchley So we did have Bletchley being attacked from the as we bombed other bones of the bombs with the Navy the coast breaking bones were safely spread around the area so they wouldn't don't sort of disappear in in one surrender snuck up on your offer your reenactment of break yet code that have has this been specially Bill it's the recommission one is the one from the 2nd well what did this come from. At the end of the 2nd World War. The old bones were taken the Paul wealth about 20 initially went to what we now think of as G.C. Obscure which are not but we can forget lines at the end of the world all of them for practical purposes literally they were taken apart they were made of perfectly standard post-office components and they were made of components that we used for ordinary machining rates as the how soon and so on and we usually use selectively recycled so they could just dismantled at the end of the war. So that that that was the that was that was a side and in about 1908 in the mid 1990 S. . Drunk and still alive and well John Howard decided as a tribute to the molten Pen found some people who worked at Bletchley Park on the car breaking he would set about building a replica Now at that point. A lot of the drawings for example the engineering drawings hadn't been released they were still secret. And gradually. They were released and it took John 10 years with a team of volunteers around him and support local businesses and other people to do this replica in 2007 it was officially commissioned and turned on by his royal highness the Duke Kent and for the palace to Netanya and it's being demonstrated every week to members of the public who being going in the palace to the black sheep of trust and to die it's now a block I should be all of the talk which is the home of the National Museum of computing and it's regularly demonstrated and sounds and insistence seen it and I'm also as you would describe it that the sheer complexity and indeed all the almost hypnotic qualities of the of the gear wheels on the shelf on the back of the machine and the drums that. Go round. On the front as it basically searches through millions of possible combinations of. Of key settings until it an electric simply too small in the sense in Iraq alone on by and the place it comes up with retires and at that point the bell rings and what you then have is a potential key a diety and you can check with when you apply the key of the die to adjourn the message that you picked out to the wireless you apply the key of the dice the message is what you get out it's German then you've got the right key it sometimes happens with the machine to sound a full stop it's not actually the correct date you press the button again and it runs on until it finds another combination of. Let loose on those drums and which again creates the electric search at that point it will stop again and you can check and perhaps you get half a dozen of these or are sure to turn the catch up 2000. A period of several hours while we drums are flying around and it's checking for the sound and that marvelous night when it stops and you think part we got it where and it's an amazing piece of engineering really is and thanks for spending some time with us to explain it Dr Johnson it's been it's been a lot of leisure and lovely John into history for us thank you ever so much yes you're most welcome Good night Dr Roger Johnson who's a member of that group that looks at the cheering is bomb at Bletchley Park it's a hypnotic That's a great way of describing it I would highly recommend it again to say I'm not seen it I would love to go see it or just watching some stuff online because it's absolutely fascinating now time for our B.B.C. Introducing of the week every single week we bring you a new one and looking forward to a bit of a rock N roll that comes from our band this week from Bradford in West Yorkshire they come from our friends actually via introducing in your can North Yorkshire who clearly have very very good hearing will hasten especially recorded live tracks on Thursday but before that let's get to know the chaps they see as glass mountain and ghosts. a 27 minutes to tell. Me when I'm on southbound shut now for road works overnights at Junction 3800 Silk Road and the 637 south to the M 180 span also close for road works from Junction one at the. 18 to Woodhouse junction to till 6 in the morning. Inevitable. West bound for long term interest closed form St James's Place along to the junction with Jamaica street. And the end of the month was good news $28.00 all September. 3 I 123-0184 the latest on that and more. animals so on the show tonight and snakes. This is the text it didn't come through properly We've tried sending it through a few times and it's not going to happen on the computer one of the computer says no so we'll go with what we have and well that people fill in the gaps when I was 12 Johnny I had a friend who had a 3 foot long royal python I was terrified of it and wouldn't go near Sally despite all of the reassurances that my friend could offer a move to Manchester in a few months later I went to stay for the weekend I was still having nothing to do with the snake nor his tarantula or a Scorpions by the way that night something woke me the room was dimly lit by moonlight I rolled onto my back and for a 2nd something moved into my peripheral vision I froze a shape of what seemed to be a hand with the fingers and thumb pinch together resolved itself sort of something gently flicked my cheek just below my right eye a mite of wind put I certainly couldn't move the shape and that's where it ends. So I am just going to let other people fill in the gaps of whether that was your friend playing hilarious japes or whether that was one of his creepy crawlies or snakes that he had I'm going to say was probably a snake that are broken now and you were right all along to never want to darken his door and go and stay but who knows we shall never know and the mystery instead she'll just lie there hanging like a serpent in the night if serpents do indeed do such things in the night 81 triple 3 star their message with the word Johnny let's talk pigeons when it comes to sports I'm sure you'll be familiar with the likes of football hockey and Gulf pigeon roll in no this is a thing of what a couple of videos or videos on this this is really intriguing Yes you heard me correctly pigeon rolling it's been active in T. Size is $979.00 and the Middlesborough and district roller club who I would have thought would be probably roller hockey Darby are not their pigeon rollers they're looking for new members what is pigeon rolling don't worry about our reporter Anna Snowden has been finding out more for us. Money Armstrong won loss for medals for flying the All England Club and we also after a lot of clubs in Middlesbrough the Middlesbrough and district brawler club and the Cleveland County are all a clock or all the pigeons pigeon to somersaults you fly them in kits of up to 20 and the idea is to try and get as many of them 20 all wrong at the same time show me video on your phone they go in in a flock of our kisses he said of 20 and they all just come tumbling down swirling and down it looks like their leaves fall in from a tree is an evolutionary thing or have they been trained to do this nor one knows why they're all the ideas to breed families of pigeons that sort of pass the tree it's on down the generations and the Morse of his get all bets are all the secret is getting him to fly out there. For the right amount of time. Beds get the men feed them fly another kit combat help and fly the markets. But it's quite a spectacle for the neighbors as well to see bees pigeons constantly constantly flying around here there's the funny thing is when we're on competitions normally sometimes on a competition it might be fair T.V. Has stood in the street looking up in the air watching kids or orders many a time we've had the play stuff from Paul and that is what we are looking at people driving past and stopping and what he's all up and causes up to 2030 people at a time on a competition how these pigeons Mox because I imagine when once you release the pigeons in the air it's coming out your hands really they very just they're going to do what they want essentially Yetta's So when Xtend wants once they go out the loft does not appear to we could oh it's the training of. What you do eat you look for the pigeons that's not wrong when that when all the rest are all and he's hit them out replace them with something else and he and it's few weeks together kids are all as to perform probably. Ready we are standing in a shed to the bottom of your garden John and I walks in here and I am surrounded by pigeons I've got female pigeons to my left male pigeons to my right as you can hear having a bit of a chatter on how many pigeons do you have while at the moment it's sort of I've just finished breeding now of probably gusts around about 120 you started prefer sed Middlesborough roller pigeon club back in 1979 Why did you start the club all those years ago there was an all clubs and Middlesboro there was nothing more so me and a few lads got together and we use our meetings every week and we decided to start our own local club where do you start with it is east out with a couple of pigeons so you start with a full kit as you say with a temp agency men kind of build from there there's different with of going to my advice would be to go and see somebody. Well known and well known fly and go visit him as much as you can normally if you start out with pigeons the little feet out there will they'll give you beds and the lot of people along the way and. Pretty hard question John out of the 100 pigeons and I'll say this quietly said they don't hear how he got a favorite one. I would never have a power as a not really expensive all depends on what the breeder of the breeder values and I have pigeons and me that if someone offered me 1000 Pound I wouldn't I wouldn't part with them. Morse people spend a lifetime trying to find because it's found pigeons or produce top class rollers all the time I have like a mother and daughter need that do it every year so there's no way I would ever ever sell an owl Middlesborough pitchin flying all over the world that here Middlesbrough is nor charge of the top quality rollers in the world or everybody around the world just accept the best quality rollers in mid air in metals but the so we've sent me and probably half a dozen of the people in that will send our beds all over the world so when someone knows about your coming from Middlesbrough and your taking part in competition you are the guys to watch you have the best role of pigeons in the world and never Middlesbrough I'd no idea that that was because he says amazing we have the best quality rollers in the world and role in this different styles of Roland but we have the top quality rod as an oiled I just love to see pigeons wrong it's a it's a Bose when you see him doing a probably it is a really fascinating thing to watch actually and in flight they are beautiful they look gorgeous I'd never heard about this pigeon rolling Have a look online there is another version and it seem to be an American version where they literally roll pigeons along the floor and the pigeons flap around and roll like little balls which it's quite strange thing I can imagine the pigeon particularly likes it but these kind of pigeons that do the pit. Rolling in mid flight a beautiful thing that was a report on a snowed in net talking pigeon rolling about on a guess we're learning we're always learning it's always a lesson. My. Goal is. To focus. On moving. Objects to. GEORGE As for a. Move. On Budapest as we were just discussing he doing his best impression of Vic and Bob in the club singing Oh I do miss. You here. It grew rich who it appears. On the topic of out isn't snakes tonight Johnny off found an otter in a bush spent half an hour it's a can fight says before I noticed it was a robot always snake begs the question was a robot so we snake doing out in the wild somewhere. It was just a very still I'd never seen an adder and he seemed dead grass next now we've had. The rest of the story come through regarding the encounter with the snake in a bedroom So this the rest of the story for Mandy where we left it last was there and he had gone to sleep as friends that had a royal python nickname Sally. Was asleep and something flicks against his cheek he hasn't said which one I'll just below is right I I might have when put but I certainly couldn't move the shape dipped in I felt something warm and sing us on my chest as it wriggled lower still paralyzed with fear I managed to mutter. Help Sally's escaped. The so and so laughed of course he got and got her out of the very I'm a poor aunt to my pillow are normal person it was cold and she'd headed where it was warm I.E. Straight in summer PJ's Allen put the light on. By name Sally Sally he crooned and to my stunned surprise the beast emerged from the flap in my pajama trousers absolutely 100 percent. Of Fear incidentally there were no longer have an irrational fear of snakes I would say that's a rational fear of snakes not irrational one Andy P.S. Last year I move logs and saw a gas last grass Naik swallowing a frog and 70 years ago my dad living in Kenya at the time as a 10 year old was nearly bitten by a poisonous bones lying snake all the snake stories from Andy tonight well that was a great tale and it was definitely worth waiting for so thank you very much for that one triple 3 star message with the word Johnny or 801698584 your final tales of snakes place and on the other animal topic tonight of pigeons This is the reason Ramsay joining is a flock of pigeons that roll around here lovely to watch every day I'm never see I'm preaching their captive ones by They're owned by a roller roller club are they the pitches that go into back flips incredible things . Oh I did text. A while I thought was a slow turns out it was a. He's Was. Just what I have if you want to be a very late entry I should have plugged a small I'm sorry your to be but we were getting carried away talking about snakes if you want to really lay and trains or something to declare then get in touch now now now we're going to do in a moment's time now Johnny J.-O. H.-N. And Y. E B B C dot co dot U.K. If you were abroad right now where are you and what are you doing get in touch now we're with this place right now Johnny at B.B.C. U.K. Tell us where you are in the worlds. And what you doing it's as simple as that thanks to everybody get in touch regarding snakes tonight Johnny would you please say venomous snakes they are not poisonous in capital letters Joe get very irate about that I'm sorry. Yeah well venom poison I mean point is it not this the same kind of thing I don't know I'm against too much of a chemical debate about things Thanks for the pages of the text Johnny. And he's asked for a record we have many times in R. And D. But we'll see what we can do tomorrow because 1st Instead we must do this it's time . For the last night. Time for a brief and if not truncated version of tonight something to declare thanks to everybody get in touch from across the. Few of you this evening. Hello to Heinz that sent us an e-mail sent me an email this is. Thank you very much. Lovely to hear from you love listening to the show joining the library while studying into cultural communications in Atlanta Georgia how any of that means what it sounds fun. Journey back from Fort William hiking in the West Highland wagering stormily very windy I'd love to go to Fort William very gently. Asked the snake stories my husband has a mortal fear of snakes due to the time when he was allowed to drive his wagon down a bank into a nest of. Sounds. To this day he's she visit the site of one children used to find them in the garden and bring them to show if it's available on the floor in front thank you very much Laura. Greetings from Alabama USA is Christina here I was raised in Hawaii where there were no snakes at all so much of my shop now living in the Southwest makes a rumpus. My younger son found a snake in our living room Body year ago he is walking past the T.V. One night he screams. As if he had to think about about 5 seconds later I hear him say again. Husband ran into the living room and there was a 6 foot kitten kingsnake not venomous slithering out from under the. For my brain. Thank you very much. For. You've been listening to a wife reproductions program for the B.B.C. . Also Chelsea and feel proud of where. Baby sinews a 10 on. A public inquiry has been haring emotional and how rowing stories from some of the thousands of patients affected by the contaminated blood scandal the inquiry will examine how people received transfusions of blood containing hepatitis and HIV during the 1970 S. And 1980 S. Nearly 3000 people died one of the sites were contaminated by.
