Message:
I'm back baby!!!
Anyone miss this Aussie chick???
What mischief has been happening while my back is turned... fill me in. Did breaker play nice ...and was flyer well behaved, ...well as good as he can be anyway?
Trip to the US was great. Work wise very productive!! BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT.... i do believe the very first GBH meeting has taken place... yes that is right! I met THE one THE only astinkyfart!!!!!!!! I had a few prerequisites for this meeting, such as open air locations and no spicey foods like ....chilli, to be consumed...he he. Well with a nickname like Keith's you have to be careful.
We had time for a real life game where I whipped his butt sooooooooo bad. (Parts of that statement may be false). It was lots of fun, and perhaps we have started the ball rolling for future GBH meetings!! I may be up north next year for work in Florida, so who can I lock in now... ;)
Unfortunately I must state that my 10 game winning streak is over as of today (Chimane I bow down to you!)... seems I made some blunders and trying to multi task 2 weeks of work and chess isn't the key to success. Oops! Great work with our team score... hmm maybe I should go away more often??
Carpe I tried to challenge you, but I realised since I am a free loving GK member I am limited to the amount of games I can play. This explains why Peter and I couldn't get our groove thang on. Obviously the great gods of GK don't realise who I am!! hee hee hee
Anyway it is good to be back, and sorry in advance for the lost games!!
Oh before I go, I should tell the laaaaaaaaaadies that astinkyfart is worth those frequent flyer points. Grddd.. He He He Seriously, thanks Keith for catching up with me!! Maybe next time we can con a few more GBH into saying hi!
GO GBH!!!

Welcome back! We needed that! So you and Kieth got it on? A game of chess I mean! As for not making it to 13 in a row I am sorry, but drron seems to have equaled the feat and appears to soon be passing me and leaving me in his hallowed wake.

Thanks for the welcome back y'all (did i say that right??), it is always nice to feel missed.... It certainly can't be for my chess prowess????..and I am sure DOK can vouch it isn't for my high quality jokes...hee hee

... to the GREAT WHITE SHARK - smallphish that is. . He is undoubtedly our star member at the moment and I have just embarked on what will probably be a painful experience for me against in a "friendly" game. Glad he/she is on our side!!!!!
There is also a new star on the GK site. i_do_not has rapidly emerged as one of the strongest players and is rocketing towards the top. Think that maybe an alias for Gary K????

Great way to end the year on our way to 150!!!
Anyone keeping track of the gothicgirl simultaneous games? I think I can boast about now that mine will be +1 for GBH!
And, for the first time, I have reached 1700, although I am not sure how long I can keep it...

... if anyone thinks our timeout rules are a bit harsh - have a read of the forum entry " Losing by TO " = the language may be a bit quaint, but the application of the rule appears totally uncompromising!!!! Think by contrast, the GBH arrangement at least has an element of reason, fairness and flexibility.
