Mark Twain is also good:
“Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.”
Excellent advice which I ought to bear in mind more often! :D

It's a shame Alan Llewellyn isn't still around, I feel like we would have crossed that 250k posts and be quickly heading towards 500 by this time, sad to think it's been a whole year since he last posted.
Lose one queen and it is a disaster, Lose 1000 queens and it is just a statistic.

I am quite fond of Alan and we have good chats about rugby on Facebook messenger. He told me he has gone cold turkey with the posts and lapses have been very few over the last 6 month. Certainly during the current amazing World Cup.

Peter - that is the greatest quote ever and one I am going to remember. Thank you.
