So what's your excuse? For running like the devil's chasing you?
See you in another life, brotha.
Funny stuff! I do believe KB has already cracked that one, although I can't recall whether he was the original author. KB?
Def for Classic Post anyway - and $5 HCDs for GG for making me giggle again.

No. It's all good. Planned many trips to the toilet block. Same winning idea as laast week. Besides, I'm looking gorgeous today.Originally Posted by GeorgeL

Thanks Garvin. V. informative.
Congrats to Jacob Edwards (picket fence) & Yi (aged 9). Both played well and both absolute gentlemen.
And here's one for the gossip column: Jacob married Regina Grenfell on Saturday. Wishing them many happy years together with my very best wishes. A very lovely couple indeed!

Yes congratulations to all the winners and commiserations to all the losers.
Cheers

who is Brett Williams (1900) ?
I don't see him on the ACF masterfile for Dec.
I made him up to inflate our tournament and make it look successfulOriginally Posted by GeorgeL
He is from South Africa and is out here for a couple of months for study.
I could not find a fide rating for him, but he says that he has a rating of about 1950 in South Africa. Not sure how that translates to our rating but Pat thinks that it is roughly accurate from watching him play.
