I'd like to go on record as having been a fan of King William.  Now, unfortunately, it seems that South Africa will once again be under-represented and chess.com will be less regal.

 

Wow, praise from caesar :-)

Cool.

et tu?  Brutus?

Don't worry, I'll pick up the slack!  You can call me King Frapplo from this day forward.  

 

 

Ooooh, we should start a famous quotes thread, Shakespere and Oscar Wilde for me. :-)

To get the ball rolling Evil Homer, "Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one".

"A horse!  A horse!  My kingdom for a horse!"

There is only one thing in this world worse than being talked about and that is, not being talked about.

King William was the best thing since sliced bread.

 

Douche, here in the states, is a more specific term.  It's what it used to clean a... well... woman... in a place... that's as family friendly as I can get for the definition.  It's a pretty common insult here.  More common is 'douchebag.' 

Yeah, I was being facetious on that one. :-)

Oh, I have failed.  Damn you, internet sarcasm!

Aristokatt ye legendary lionheart im now very loverly melencholic and swayin with my lighter lit. QUality vid link cheers. :) :s :/ :(

"Regrets, he's had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
he did what he had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

he planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
he did it his way.

Yes, there were times, Im sure you knew
When he bit off more thanhe could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
he ate it up and spit it out.
he faced it all and he stood tall;
And did it his way.

He's loved, He's laughed and cried.
He's had his fill; his share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
He find it all so amusing.

To think he did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not him,
He did it his way.

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows he took the blows -
And did it his way!

"Regrets, I've had a few,

But then again, too many to mention".

ps, Anyone who can name the person who rephrased it thus goes into the running for a meat tray.

Oh, and the following might be more to his taste....

marysson,

if that is a reply to my question, you are unfortunately now out of the running for the meat tray.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is a meat tray and can we take the cash equivalent as an alternative prize?

 

A meat tray is exactly what it sounds like - a tray of uncooked meat. Often won at more provincial-style pubs, for example through a raffle, etc.

Regarding your second question, the answer is no - because I have already bought the tray.

How about:

As long as you agree to cook it on the barbie, I'm there.

Otherwise I fear it would attract the attention of our Dept of Agr :-)
