Chambers definition
non sequitur noun (abbreviation non seq.) 1 an illogical step in an argument. 2 logic a conclusion that does not follow from the premises.
ETYMOLOGY: 16c: Latin, literally 'it does not follow'.
Peter T, I am not spectacularly well-educated. But there are aids these days.
Your comment was a form of 'knight move thinking'.

I think I heard Larry Page rang Demis up a couple of years ago wanting to his company, but Demis turned him down. Obviously this time the price was right.

Re: Media comments on chess
In the world's longest running soap opera (The Archers, BBC Radio 4) last week a character who is as old as the soap, Tony Archer (62) relived the trauma of receiving a chess set as a Christmas present (instead of the desired model racing car) when he was 10 years old. "I didn't want to play chess!" blubbed the pathetic Tony.

I'm a year older than Tony Archer, and also received a chess set as a Christmas present when I was 10 years old. I didn't know that I wanted to play chess!Mike Gunn wrote:In the world's longest running soap opera (The Archers, BBC Radio 4) last week a character who is as old as the soap, Tony Archer (62) relived the trauma of receiving a chess set as a Christmas present (instead of the desired model racing car) when he was 10 years old.

Re: Media comments on chess
I thought the world's longest-running soap opera involved chess federations in the North-West.
"Do you play chess?"
"Yes, but I prefer a game with a better chance of cheating."

Re: Media comments on chess
This probably explains why the actor who has played Tony Archer for the last 40 years has suddenly been replaced - after all what credence is there to a soap that killed off a major character called Mark Hebden?Mike Gunn wrote:In the world's longest running soap opera (The Archers, BBC Radio 4) last week a character who is as old as the soap, Tony Archer (62) relived the trauma of receiving a chess set as a Christmas present (instead of the desired model racing car) when he was 10 years old.
