@kewpie saidLovely that you should have mentioned Mikelom as last night I was looking for a thread he created here a long time back. It was about whether people here were part of a community and made lasting friends with others ... something you are very good at doing 🙂
Agreed.
In 1914 I travelled to Europe and the UK with my husband for several weeks, meeting up with drewnogal, aranya15, torunn and Ponderable who all turned out to be exactly as I expected from our chess chats. In 2016 we met mikelom's widow and she made us very welcome in their Bangkok home. In 2019 gording came to our home from the UK and stayed with us in Australia.
The RHP world is a global village. 🤗

@drewnogal saidCheck out the thread he started on 30-September-2012 "RHP - a real community of friends?" You have a long memory, it's more than 8 years.

Blimey.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidYou beat me to it chief!
1914?!
Blimey.
I was going to ask if it was an "august" holiday* and if they enjoyed the fireworks.
Seriously though, there are plenty of fine people frequenting this site. "On both sides". 😁

@drewnogal saidYes, Pondy and I met for Mexican food, beer, and some games. A meeting of minds.
Ever met one?
@torunn saidDo you know what first struck me when I started reading the responses in that "old" thread? NO PLACE TO CLICK THUMBS. 🤔 🙂
I remember that thread and I recall my posts.
@great-big-stees saidI think there were thumbs then but they seem irrelevant now.
