Today, we remember Alan Turing, who died on 7 June 1954.

A mathematician, codebreaker and pioneer of modern computing, Turing's work helped shorten the Second World War and laid the foundations for technologies that shape our lives today.

For decades, his achievements went largely unrecognised, and he faced profound personal challenges because of who he was. Yet his contribution to science, innovation and society remains extraordinary.

On the anniversary of his death, we honour a man whose ideas changed the world and whose legacy continues to inspire generations of thinkers, problem-solvers and innovators.

@jogdundee @offtheballbbc I’d swap Jocky for Gordon but good list 👍

@StorrPaul Wasn’t sure what the local rules were, I just played on. Was quite a moment of hilarity
If I’m being honest there’s a better than even chance that any rehit would have ended up worse!!

Beautiful wide open fairway. Guess who’s (pretty good) drive clobbered off the telephone poll to end in the rough?

@johnbarrett2468 Love it
The first time I saw them I was astonished at Garvey’s size. He looks like he maybe should have been a bouncer but sings beautifully. He looked nothing like I imagined when I first heard him sing
Top radio host too

@DailyPicTheme2 It was lovely. The rooms didn’t look at all like cells. But I loved the way they managed to maintain the prison look whilst making it most comfortable

But it’s not really England

@Rhutchison9 @smithy1893 It’s an interesting off season. I wonder how Elvis will handle it. He has to release some players and I thought Clark would be released. Maybe he’s trying to be too nice and give Clark some sort of deal and not just releasing him 🤷

Arrived in Gdansk last night. Passport control was a nightmare.

The heckling when getting my photo taken didn’t help. “Adopt a neutral expression” said the machine. “Don’t laugh said my pal”. Well that was Ian creased.
Try again sighed border control.

This week’s #AlbumClub
Revelation by The Brian Jonestown Massacre

The guys were all pretty together on the one. Good music, nice riffs, but a little low on song development. A little too long. As someone said: volume with little depth
