The Winstone Churchill: Former Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill Saluting the management of Bletchley Park Early this morning Trust opened an heritage eviction trail last month with an enactment of Sir Winston Churchill being evicted from A Block.

M. Pitts International Correspondant Major Toady An excavation in Berlin, Germany, unveiled a secret room inside Hitler’s Bunker, decorated with scores of motivational posters. “The posters range in size and quantity,” said Dr. Robert Herzog from the University of Berlin, “from the poster of an eagle soaring over a mountain range with the words ‘Dream big’ at the bottom, to the kitten dangling from a tree branch beneath the phrase ‘Hang in there, baby.’” Speculation abounds as to what purpose the room held for the former dictator. “We believe that Hitler used this room as a way to overcome the hardships of being a mass-murdering psychopath,” said Bletchley historian Major Toady of the room covered in posters of encouraging mantras and ham-fisted stock photography. “It was his escape-his fortress of solitude.” Doctoral candidate Leslie Metz stitched together a portrait of the fall of the Third Reich. “It’s easy to picture the Furor here, crestfallen, during the final days of the war,” said Metz, “with him looking up and seeing the word ‘Perseverance,’ under a photo of a vast ocean, and mustering up the courage to blow the back of his skull out for his terrible crimes.” A number of crude drawings found in a box marked “Mein sketches” revealed that Adolf had even tried to design his own posters. One depicted a baby seal with the word “Aryan” scrawled on the bottom and then crossed out, as if to suggest that a different phrase would lend itself better to the inspiring photo. The dig culminated with the discovery of Hitler’s wastebasket, containing several discarded posters. “It appears [Hitler] had no interest in posters with themes that imply accountability, diversity, or tolerance,” remarked world-renowned anthropologist Dr. Amanda Kelley. “With the benefit of hindsight it’s shocking to see how insecure the tyrant was in his own leadership...Well, no, actually that explains a lot.” Bletchley Bugle Page Number III NASA photo of Earth’s most inhospitable place is Bletchley Park Management Offices A NASA photo of one of the most inhospitable places on earth was not Mount Everest, but Bletchley Park Management Offices, according to officials this morning. NASA originally la- A. Tom Smasher belled the photo “EverScience Editor est from Space” before eagle-eyed Internet users spotted an Iceland, KFC and a complete lack of intelligent life. “We apologise for this error in captioning our photo, but we remain behind our assertion that it’s a photograph from space of a place on our planet not designed for human habitation.” “Sure, oxygen levels might be OK – when the water treatment works aren’t in full swing – and the temperature might be considered acceptable by some, but it’s truly one of the most desolate places on Earth.” “There’s a reason David Attenborough hasn’t made a documentary called ‘Park’ – no-one would want to live there for a year to film it.” NASA officials claimed that although the photo was taken by mistake, there is plenty they can learn from the harsh surroundings of Buckinghamshire’s least welcoming lands. “We hope to one day explore distant planets, untouched by civilisation, perhaps with inhabitants that don’t understand us and want to do us harm – what better way to prepare than a field trip to Bletchley?” “What started as a mistake might one day be essential in our journey to the stars.” Wartime Discovery Andy Friese Raving Reporter A World War II Japanese TwoMan Sub Found In Bletchley Park lake A member of the Bletchley Archaeological & Historical Society has just announced an unbelievable announcement. Speaking before the monthly meeting of the BAHS, Executive Director Mervin W. Kiddlefuddle, 61, stated that a couple of scuba divers from Scubaducks, Aylesbury, have told him about the discovery of a Japanese two-man submarine from World War II The two scuba divers identified as Dante Kaminski and Fletcher Ortega told The Bugle that they were searching for old discarded silver when they came upon the sub which was submerged in 29 feet of water and totally buried in the lake mud except for the periscope. Kaminski stated that he and Ortega knew right away that it was a Japanese sub because of the Japanese lettering on the periscope which spelled out the words Made in Japan. Meanwhile Major Toady has gotten into the fray. He has made it abundantly Hurundi V Bagshi Oxford The Park Trust is photographing their staff at the rear of hut 4, then using the images to create identical, obedient copies.

Scientists discover coldest place on Earth Hairy Seagoon Wales nel Sanders office. We walked in and found him practicing how to cry in front of a mirror.” Scientists have declared that the newly discovered black abyss where Colonel Sanders heart should be is now officially the coldest place on earth, having recorded temperatures of -95.6 Celsius. “He then asked us if anyone wanted a hug because his PA had been teaching him different techniques. He went as far as to rub my shoulder in an overly familiar ‘pally’ way but I just felt very uncomfortable. Once we realised that the source of this ice-cold temperature was the hole in Sanders chest it made a lot more sense to us.” Scientist Albert Whinestein, who led the team of experts, said: “When the results first came up as Bletchley, UK, we were flabbergasted.” “We followed the device and it led us to Colo- Photo Credit: Aby Apperture A World War II Japanese two-man submarine being dragged out of the lake clear that the Secret Service, MI6, MI5, and GCHQ will all be looking into the amazing situation and find out exactly how in the world the World War II, two-man sub was able to get into the lake at Bletchley Park. Colonel Sanders said that he has personally spoken to the Japanese government and they will be sending Mr. Hiroki Takanaki, 93, to Cheltenham Mr. Takanaki is regarded as the world’s leading expert on Japanese two-man submarines in service during World War II having served aboard three of them. For Further Reading on the subject of Japanese two-man submarines during World War II, read Mr. Takanaki’s definitive book on the subject, titled ‘Turn Reft At The Righthouse.’ PARK TO REPLACE STAFF WITH DOCILE CLONES Museum giant Bletchley Park is to scan faces as part of a plan to murder Guides and replace them with clones. These new findings beat the previously declared coldest place on Earth, at the heart of Antarctica, by over three degrees. The team of scientists were initially shocked at the satellite’s findings and sent a small team of experts into the heart of Buckinghamshire to investigate and locate the precise spot delivering such abnormally cold readings. February 2014 The investigative team went on to explain such extreme temperatures are difficult for non-scientific people to understand. They explained, “A temperature this low is very hard for people with an ounce of sympathy, humility, kindness or human warmth to contemplate.” “However, looking at his track record of public policy and obscene cuts to exhibits, it’s really not that surprising.” Logan said: “It was a vast basement full of transparent cylinders, each containing what appeared to be a human. “As I watched in horror, one of the pods opened and out stepped the goo-coated clone of a woman who comes in to guide twice a week. “Lab-coated Park scientists wiped the slime off her and she said “Must Guide” in a weird monotone before marching out.” A Park spokesman confirmed: “We will photograph your face and body in our staff and Volunteers room, use this information to make a clone using sheep DNA and then when it’s ready you die in your sleep and it replaces you. “There’s no point trying to hide it as noone can stop us. “We were fed up with the general staff being unable to follow our simple rules and techniques without giving the full customer experience ’. How fucking hard can it be? “Hence we needed to make a slightly more bovine version of the staff.” Mother-of-two Nikki Hollis said: “Bletchley Park is good. Home of the code breakers. Birthplace of modern computing.”. Fury over Double Car Park Theft Loverly Rita Meter Maid It has been reported that not one but two car parks have been stolen from Bletchley Park. Firstly, the mansion car park, complete with white lines and several disabled spaces just disappeared overnight and secondly, the tennis court car park complete with railings was also then stolen some days later. The mansion car park was essential for tenants who needed to be near their offices. It was also important for disabled visitors to be able to visit the mansion without the trauma of a long walk from other car parks. In an interview with one of the operations managers he was quoted as saying ‘Sod the visitors, they can go elsewhere.’ Scotland Yard said that a tennis court would be difficult to ‘fence’. They have asked that if anyone who thinks they have information that may help with their enquiries, to please ring Whitehall 1212. Bletchley Bugle Page IV Beginner’s Guide to German To facilitate a better visitor experience, the Park management have put into place a mandetory German class for all volunteers and staff. Nikki Maypole German is a Education Editor guage spoken lanby over 80 million people. There have been many great people throughout history who have spoken it. Learning German can allow our visitors to understand anyone from Wankel to Seimens, from Kahn to Kant. From Bach to the Fuhrer. It is an elegant but guttural language, which is intended to be shouted angrily in a shrill voice. One important thing to remember is that all the verbs come at the end of a sentence, just like Yoda. For example, if you wanted to say “This sauerkraut has not been prepared efficiently”, you would actually say “This sauerkraut efficiently has not been prepared”. Or in German: DIESE SAUERKRAUT EFFIZIENT NICHT BEREIT!! Shout it yourself and see how it sounds. We are now ready to begin the lesson. The possessive in German is given by MEIN, meaning “my”. The most common sentence in the whole language uses this. MEIN HANDTUCH DEUTLICH ICH HIER ERSTE ZEIGT WAR! Or in English: my towel clearly indicates that I was here first. Please note that the word WAR at the end of the sentence doesn’t actually mean “war” in English. It means “was” and is the past tense of IST. The word for war is KRIEG, as in the following example: ICH DIE DEN KRIEG ÜBER WEIß NICHT SPRECHEN I hope you are remembering to shout it out loud. Translation: I don’t know which war you are talking about. That last example ontains the letter ß, which is pronounced like a ‘b’ but pronounced from the back of the throat like a violent cough. Try this now. Finally, we come to questions. Questions are unique in German because the verbs at the end of the sentence must be shouted twice. The second shout should be significantly louder than the first. Try this one: SIE DER NEUE HASSELHOFF RAP-ALBUM HABEN GEHÖRT? HABEN GEHÖRT!!! By now you should be able to translate it by yourself, so I will leave out the English. Congratulations! You can now speak fluent German and are now fully qualified to give our visitors a world class experience. Please be warned though, as speaking German can lead to mindless aggression, bad taste and a fondness for facial hair. AUF WEIDERSEHEN!!! February 2014 Shocking news as hut prices are on the rise Bombardier Brownose Birmingham Post Office It was confirmed this week that Hut prices are continuing their unstoppable rise, as estate agent Shackleton’s announced that the price of a one roomed garden Hut had risen by 150% in the last year. A spokesman for the company said that demand was massively exceeding supply. The rise in prices has been welcomed by Hut owners but is not good news for everyone. First time buyer Wong Price and his wife Toohai have been looking for a cheap Hut for their garden, but were shocked to discover that it would cost more than their house was worth. They are now looking to see if they can rent one instead. Garden property analyst Yardley Hutterwood said that the problem lay in the housing market. “Until recently, Huts were only used by people to store their useless crap, or for husbands to hide their porn stash. But now they have Hut that old Hutdy image, we are increasingly seeing that people are choosing to buy a Hut to live in, or as a long-term investment. This has pushed up the prices so much that casual Hut users are no longer able to afford one.” As Huts become more popular as a place to live, Photo courtesy of Ashton Kutcher A World War II Hut can now cost more than a council estate terraced house there has been a great demand for luxury versions too. These can contain unexpected features such as swimming pools, attics and even four-poster beds. Many owners try to outdo each other in how luxurious they can make theirs, inspired by property shows such as “Load Your Hut”. There has also been an increase in the number of people who were offering a “two for the price of one” Hut - essentially by cutting it in two and renting both halves separately. Although this increases the amount of Huts available for rental, it has led to numerous court cases due to people complaining about their half-Hut being too small. Lawyer Yulgeta Waiwethit famously defended a Hut owner from a litigant by saying that although the property was legally too small to house a chicken, there were no laws defining minimum property sizes for human habitation. Some enterprising would-be Hut owners have had to resort to building their own Huts, but even they have found that the cost is not as cheap as expected. Hutterwood said that there were “Hutloads TRIP ADVISOR SHAM Rufus T Firefly Toddington ALL the reviews on TripAdvisor have been written by a single socially-isolated misfit. 41-year-old loner Roy Hobbs has admitted writing all the reviews ever posted on the consumer website. He said: “I have a number of hobbies, including collecting Babylon 5 action figures and spying on my neighbours. But my best one is TripAdvisor. From Beyond “I have never been to a restaurant or stayed in a hotel so it is nice to play out all the potential scenarios in my head. “For example, what if the mattresses were a bit lumpy, or there were some Belgian students having a loud party in the bar until three in the morning? I would be cross. “On the other hand, it might be nice with lovely views and free mints.” Hobbs added: “I do a technical thing to make it look like I’m using a different computer every time. Also I vary the spelling from poor to abysmal.” Hobbs’s computer hard drive contains over 260,000 made-up reviews varying in tone from intensely passive-aggressive to nauseatingly fawning. Hobbs said: “I suppose I am quite lonely, getting people to choose restaurants based on my writing is the closest I get to human interaction.” Web analyst Emma Bradford said: “He’s telling the truth. After all, what normal person would even consider writing a review on TripAdvisor?” Page V The Bletchley Bugle Supreme Court allows BAHS to dig into Park leaders’ brains Horace Rumpole London The Bletchley Archaeological & Historical Society (BAHS) has been given permission by the Supreme Court to dig into Bletchley Parks Managers’ brains.

February 2014 FURNITURE REMOVALS P. Ickfords London Rumour has it that removal vans were seen at Bletchley Park-or were they? Certainly some rooms have been shut, maybe they are storage areas?The removal of furniture ensures that there are no chairs left for visitors to sit down. Concern has been raised for booked groups of visitors who may need to stand to eat their lunches, proved unfounded when three visitors were seen sharing one chair that had been left. niences! In the main museum one disabled visitor had trouble fending off others who obviously wanted to avail themselves of his powered mobility scooter (smuggled in as only wheelchairs are provided for) since at the time he was watching one of the films being shown ‘I know people want to sit down to watch films shown on TV screens but if they sit on my knee then I can’t see them myself’ he remarked.

The removal of BP volunteers from the species Homo sapiens is part of a Managerial plan to extricate the Park from certain aspects of the European Union. if a snail is elderly or disabled, so almost no one will qualify for seating related benefits, much as with the current system.” Ms Hayes, a hairdresser from Lowestoft, said: “I worry this means I will no longer be able to enjoy salty snacks, such as peanuts, without shrivelling up and dying. “However I understand that most snails are hermaphrodites and I do like the idea of being able to copulate with myself.” Trustee William Scarlett said: “Species is a pretty subjective thing, and to be honest ‘slow-moving with a slimy sheen’ seems to describe most of the people one sees in the supermarket. “If all of our Voluntarty staff are ostensibly gastropods, the Court of Human Rights can’t have a say. And if they put together a Court of Snail Rights we’ll just make everyone a sparrow.” Frederick Howl supports the policy: “There will be immense savings in the travel expenses system. As everyone knows, snails carry little houses around on their backs, so are ineligible for travel expenses.” Photo Chris P.

Chan China A team of the world’s best physicists have come up with a noise 100 times worse than bagpipes. The International collaboration of scientists has been made to work in “lockdown” conditions with Dyson technicians, by Bill Gates and Stephen Hawkings until they come up with something not boring. Recently quoted as having “lost the plot” due to silly inventions like the Higgs Boson and Quarks, it looks like the new invention, dubbed the “Bagophone accoustic weapon” will win a Nobel Prize for the team before Summer. Photo Chris P. Bacon Contrary to popular beliefs, the brain is expected to be there. The Bagophone accoustic weapon, a cross between Ralph Harris’s invention, the Stylophone and Dyson bagless bagpipes is said to emit such a terrible sound that rats and cockroaches have abandoned buildings where it is being tried out. Jacobite sympathiser, Alex Salmon says he is set to adopt it as a National musical instrument after the planned coup in the spring. Page VI Dear Dottery I’m going prematurely bald and I am paranoid that women won’t be able to see beyond my massive shiny noggin, glinting in the sunshine. Do you think anyone will notice if I use a sharpie to colour it in? How does Wayne Rooney do it? F. Buckinghamshire nDOTTERY SAYS: A school visitor from Y6 has a brother who knows the best friend of a lady who once saw Coleen Rooney on the tube, and he told us that apparently the reason Wayne Rooney was banned for two matches is because he was caught illegally harvesting the hair of corpses in order to fashion his new barnet. Apparently he started out using belly button fluff borrowed from the navels of sex workers, but it just kept sliding off his bonce and making him look daft in Liverpool nightclubs, so he soon escalated to grave robbery. One dark night, when Kai was in bed and Coleen was tanning her earlobes, Wayne dressed in a black football strip and sneaked into the cemetary. By the light of the moon he used a pair of nail scissors to plunder the armpit hair of thirty-seven cadavers, pausing only to vomit into his football boots. But it was all worth it, when he could look in a mirror with pride again and see a man with bizarre fluffy corpse-hair grinning back. Unfortunately, Wayne failed to seek the permission of the Head of FIFA in advance and therefore he was immediately branded a bad sport and told he was banned from playing until he had made an even more magnificent toupee for Sepp Blatter. Dear Dottery One of my so-called ‘friends’ has apparently been slagging me off on Twitter and I’m not willing to let him get away with it. The person in question is always nice as pie when we’re face-to-face but as soon as he’s online he’s tweeting about how I don’t know what day of the week it is. Can you believe his cheek? To make matters worse, this place only has one computer which he’s always hogging so I can never get online to check what he’s been saying about me. I’ve asked one of my staff here if I can get access to a laptop but they just smile at me and tell me to take my medication. How can I stop this two-faced elderly cyberbitch before my reputation is ruined forever? I. Buckinghamshire nDOTTERY SAYS: It’s at times like this when you need to forget about social networking and get back to basics by having a good old fashioned playground scrap. Put the word out after morning meeting that there’s going to be a fight and by lunchtime you’ll have half the Parkstanding in a circle in the playground clapping and baying for blood. Remember to remove your tie and any valuables such as marbles, pipe cleaners or conkers so they don’t get lost in the scramble. As your opening move, grab your opponent’s jumper and swing them round several times to disorientate them, following up with a swift and decisive push to the middle of the back, The Bletchley Bugle winding them and sending them flying on to the concrete where they’ll hopefully get a nasty graze to the hands and knees. By this point, you’ll need to make a quick exit, because the woman from education will have spotted the fracas, spilled her coffee down her blouse and be wading angrily through the crowd towards you. The nearest hiding place is behind the portacabins where Stacey Diddle takes boys to show them her pants. With any luck the teacher will collar someone else or get distracted by a fox turd on the croquet lawn and you’ll be free to fight another day. Dear Dottery I’ve been single for a few years now, and as I’m 35, it’s only a matter of time before my lady garden closes to the public for good and my ovaries turn to dust and are blow away on the wind. So on the advice of my complacent married friends, I have reluctantly decided to begin internet dating in the hope of finding a suitable husband. Aside from the usual fears about ending up dismembered in a wheelie bin, I’m worried that it might all go wrong and everyone I meet up with will turn out to be a balding loser. Can you give me any advice on how to avoid this? G. Oxford nDOTTERY SAYS: Apparently, in the olden days, there was no such thing as the Internet. In fact, there were no computers or mobile phones or X-Box 360s either. I know! Can you even begin to imagine how pointless life must have been back in the 1980s when the only sources of entertainment were Australian soap-operas, the Radio 1 Sunday chart countdown and Buckaroo? No wonder people went on strike all the time. I have no idea how people ever managed to make friends or have a relationship back then – forget about Facebook, texts and email – the only viable channels of communication available to them were photocopiers and primitive TV remote controls. So while you’re getting all whiney about having to resort to Internet dating, just be grateful that you have that opportunity at all, unlike our poor mummies and daddies who have witnessed first hand what it’s like to use a fountain pen, and whose only hope of ever finding love was by donning flammable turquoise leisurewear, drinking half a bottle of Mirage and doing The Lambada in some smelly nightclub in Hull.
