FEB's joke
news flash!!

Two Merseyside footballers had their homes burgled today, in the first Steven Gerard had all his England caps, his two F.A. cup and Carling cup medals along with his uefa and champoins league winners medals stolen.

In the second Evertons Tim Cahill lost a kettle and a toaster!!!!!

Tell you what...don't care which team you support, but I'll bet you'd LOVE to have Tim Cahill in YOUR team !!

I reckons he is a much under rated player, the Toffees always play better when he is in the team (wish he played for Bolton !!)

FEBs joke
Couldn't agree more calmrolfe TC was a snip at £1 mill.... You could have bought 20 of him for one Robbie Keane, Then sold 12 of him back 6 months later... And I bet Gerrard was really happy he didn't go to Chelsea otherwise he would have had his premiership medal stolen as well !!!
No longer with you guys but still with you.... If you know what I mean :)

''once a blue always a blue''......................... now who was that???? and where is he now???

New blood
Greetings chaps, it's about the time of year when I drop everyone a line. I'll skip the excuses for now, you've read 'em all before! However here I am to say that I've had a quick look at the lengthy list of applicants for a team place, and approved new membership for no fewer than 5 new recruits!
Welcome on board stevepiper, tehya1, mandog, godusty and davidlundqvist, I am sure we can find them a few challenges over the next week or so. Will be updating a bit here and there, be in touch again soon...

"We will never surrender"

Regards, mercury_whyte

An Englishman, Scotsman, Welshman and Irishman
…were captured while fighting in a far-off foreign land, and the leader of the captors said: “we're going to line you up in front of a firing squad and shoot you all in turn. But first, you each can make a final wish.”

The Scotsman says: “I'd like to hear The Flower of Scotland just one more time to remind me of the auld country, played on bagpipes in the style of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards.”

The Irishman says: “I'd like to hear Danny Boy just one more time to remind me of the auld country, sung in the style of Daniel O'Donnell, with Riverdance dancers skipping gaily to the tune.”

The Welshman says: “I'd like to hear Men Of Harlech just one more time to remind me of the auld country, sung as if by the Aberavon Male Voice Choir.”



The Englishman says: “I'd like to be shot first.”

patient police
Visibility wasn't good the other day,when I got pulled over by a traffic cop doing 80mph.

He said, "What would you do if Mr Fog came down suddenly?"

"I would put Mr Foot on Mr Brake", I replied.

"Let me start again, slowly", he said, "What would you do if mist or fog came down suddenly?

BLIMEY !!
I've just bought a DVD with 650 Classical Chess Books on it.....for £4.50 !!!

It's got every classic on it, even Garry Kasparov's "My Great Predecessors" Volumes 1-3, they come in at £35 a go in book form. Incredible value for money.

It's amazing what you can pick up on EBay, at a stroke, my Chess Library of 270 books has become redundant.......

Only problem is I'll probably have to give up playing Chess in order to find the time to read all those books !!!!!

I want one
Hi Calmrolfe,

I want one what is it called and how can i get hold of it, sad to say never been on EBay.

It's on ebay under item No. 140331022726

OR search the following as a heading

A Collection of over a 500 eBooks on Chess - PDF


The only slightly bad news is that he has only 2 left, and he has upped the price to £8.99, but at least it is Post FREE. It is still a terrific bargain, I have looked at several of the books already and they are great. He also has private collections, for example, one author has simply collated everything he could find on the Ruy Lopez and pasted it all together, it runs for 1,259 pages for just that collection only. For a Ruy Lopez fiend like myself it is priceless research material !!

I think the whole collection on DVD runs to about 4.7 gigabytes

There is loads of Dvoretsky and Kasparov on there as well. (I might give the Schiller, Reinfeld and the Keene books a miss though !!)

Good luck and happy hunting

Atherton's finest !
I see that Nigel Short is due to go over 2700 in the next rating lists and re-enter the lists as a Super Grandmaster. Surprisingly he has now overhauled Michael Adams to regain his England No1 status.
