Lorry = Truck

In a pub, if you order "two half pints" of beer, they give you "two pints a half," which equals two pints and another 1/2 pint, or three glasses in all.  

The bartender looked at me like I was just another idiot Yank.  Apparently I was.  Laughing 

Thank God they conquered the world, and saved Americans from having to learn more than one language.  So who am I to complain?

  Have you notice the quality of the forum lately ? To me is declining. No fun nor good discussion going on. So far excellent contribution posters are Estragon, waffllemaster, can you think of anyone else ? For me I'll give the Forum a 3 out of 10. What are your thoughts and how would you rate it ?

depends on the forum topic; some of the stuff specifically about chess is good, at least for me; some of the forums are just gossip columns, propaganda, etc. I did like the one about favorite chess movies. and favorite book (chess or non-chess). and there's a lot of good chess analysis by good players; if there's a subject you'd like to discuss you can always add a thread...........
