It's a code to be cracked and if you are successful it means you are eligible to join GCHQ. :roll:

Heard that on the radio yesterday and planned to look for it. Thanks for the link. Obviously I thought of 'you lot' when I heard the story... they're offering jobs, and some of you are probably over-qualified ;)

EDIT: Just looked at it.... Flaming Heck - that looks familiar - takes me back 30 years [if that is coding written in Ollivetti's BAL language I'll die laughing]

No idea whatsoever what you two are on about, but does this mean you're both applying to GCHQ? :lol: :lol:

As there is already one member of the family, my cousin, working for GCHQ I think I'll give this puzzle a miss. :lol:

No I'd rather you introduced me to him. Or am I thinking of Colin Firth? :D

I'm not sure I want to be shot by a firing squad. :?

Well, I'd LOVE to be able to introduce you to Colin Firth, but sadly he isn't on my Christmas card list. :lol: And no, definitely no firing squads please. :lol:
