Here is the inside scoop from today

- Rachel (remora91) does not like English food
- Kirk is the blackest man on earth
- Liam is fighting a gum addiction
- Chrismo has a secret fetish (He blindfolds people to play chess against them)
- Boris hasn't grown an inch since the last meet-up
- Freddie is gay (now its official, let me be the first to congratulate)
- Sicilian Smaug is the easiest-to-beat 1900 player RHP has (LOL, got a headache mate ??)
- Gambit05 needs a lesson in 'Tandem Chess' (else he kicks butt !!)
- Russ (and Chrismo) have been extremely nice to everyone buying drinks and pizza
- Where was Colette ???

Just wanted to say thanks to another nice day with little serious chess but much laughter and even more beer - Photos to come (lots of people took lots of photos, so please post these if you could)

If I can ever make it to a meet-up, I'll be the easiest-to-beat 1600+ player, at least until everybody else is drunk.

I'm wondering if the 'fish and chips' are any good in England.

Also, is there something over there called a 'chit buddy' or something like that?

Where would I have to go to get some good horse?

But the breakfast is great. And if you have had a proper English breakfast, you don't need anything else for the rest of the day. Besides, fish & chips aren't bad either.

I heard worse, same food... but I heard they really scraped the burnt shmeg off the edges of the grill.. or burned the 'chips' well in greese.

I think I would have to ask around where to get the best one, and the worst just to try them!
