A Whole Day....

Post by Joey Stewart » Thu May 22, 2014 8:48 am

This must be a forum historical moment. A whole day has passed without any posts being made - come on you lot, I demand entertainment.

In "General Chat" maybe, but take a look at "International News".

Oh yeah, maybe, but general chat is the only real section.

I just had another check - over 100 people have viewed this post since I wrote it and only a single person has made a comment. Come on you cowards, say something, stop being a silent majority!

Slightly inaccurate. It was such a good post that I viewed it twice, so you have to reduce the head count.

Roger must be unwell - or, perhaps, he doesn't have a view :)

Or, he could be trying to establish a statistical link between the number of posts and the knock-on effect of the ECF Membership Scheme.

I guess this would be a prudent time for me to finally delurk...
Hmm...say something?...what is there to say?
...nothing?
*goes back to lurking for the next few years*

Roger is playing at the e2e4 event at Sunningdale - so probably he has other things on his mind.

A Whole Day of Sport. The Monaco Grand Prix, Orient & Rotherham play-off final, England against Sri Lanka at Cricket and the BMW Golf from the Wentworth Club. I’m sure there’ll be some Wrestling later, there usually is, but commentator Ken Walton and big stars Mick McManus, Billy Two Rivers and co don’t seem to feature nowadays. And there’s live chess from Ayr here http://ayrshirechesscongress.co.uk/index.html. As Ian Botham just said in commentary “Too many extras”, but I think he was talking about the England bowling.

I'm afraid that Mick McManus retired to the wrestling ring in the sky last year aged 93. Kent Walton passed away long before that and Billy Two Rivers has gone back to fight for Indian rights in his native Canada.

8) And the first day of the French Open Tennis as well, I am watching that at the moment on ITV3 but will switch to BBC later for the Monaco F1 highlights.
