This year I have already had 8 flights with a further 7 booked for later in the year and a possible 2 before then. But the 8 and 2 won't add any new countries, the 7 will add 3. Portugal, Italy and France.

wouldnt 15 flights only 'do' 5 darts, as each dart has 3 flights?

there would seem to be only 1 answer to that....!!

I would say, as a Maths teacher (ex), it is great for mental arithmetic skills!

I coudln't decipher "dart@ even with Maryam-Webster dictionary.
Anyway(s), I am nowin Geneve, at the airport whose name in Serbian sounds like a woman.

In three hours I take for Amsterdam.

Hope I'll increase ELO in a OTB tournament, but before this, I'll see Nick Cave live and meet Dutch branche of my family.

Darts is a popular (ahem) sport in the Netherlands and England. It's the only sport apart from Sumo wrestling in which there is almost a requirement to be severely overweight (and preferably drunk).

This is a demonstration of how to play:

Not really my type of music, sonhouse. I found it quite boring, but thank you for posting the links anyway. I do like to try listening to new artists every now and then. (Obviously I'm aware he's been around for many years as I have heard of him from various quarters since my schooldays). I like to use Spotify and skip through the songs/pieces I don't like. Then I can save the ones I do to some list for future listening.

Mind your step! Mind your step! Mind your step!
This is the mantra at Schiphol - Amsterdam airport.
Flight No 2 (Geneve - Amsterdam) accomlished - now waiting for the third: Amsterdam - Luqa (Malta).

The Hague was rainy - sunny - showering - cloudy.
Tommorow is the first round.
I am preparing a tread for Chess forum, in which /tread/ I am going to mercilessly dissect my two defeats on first day of Coenhagen tournament where i lost 70 ELO points. (So as to follow Botvinnik's advice to study your own defeats.)
