Not surprised. Anyone that thinks Crippies are Monks are in for a big surprise. Intellectual doesn't mean not interested in Sex and Romance. Respectfully Crytptologic Technician Communications 1st Class William "Chiip" Nagel USN(R).

CSM Charles Hayden - Bletchley Park, No I regret to say, I did work at Bletchley Parks Satellite Site at RAF Eastcote with the Navy Counter-Intelligence folks. That was very unique. Inside what looked like a Deserted Wing of an Ancient Building walk towards the end and it was straight out of "Get Smart" Open a door and bright lights and your in a cube with one way glass and another door that requires a cypher. Under the Glass was a slot and there was a speaking circle in the middle of the glass, to talk to the people inside. Where folks would drop off their messages with me. It was pretty wild. After the War Eastcote was also used for Storage of Specimens for the Royal Museum so it was not uncommon for us to find specimens in Formaldehyde laying around. One of the Wildest times of my career and this was Straight Out of some Spy Fiction.

CSM Charles Hayden - RAF Eastcote also had a US Marine Corps Bar that the Big Wigs at the Metropolitan Police would drink at. I was at the gate house my last Christmas Holiday there shooting the breeze with the Ministry of Defense Police that were our guards and this guy comes out of the front of the building blown out of his socks drunk, Walks out the Gate into the middle of the road and walks down one of the main drag middle of the night blitz the MOD POs are laughing their asses off. "Why didn't you stop him, It's Not Safe what he is doing" "Oh Hell no Mate, Were not doing that, That is the Counter Narcotics Chief of the Metro". OMG!
