The incomparable Richard Burton did the narration.  The melifluous tones and rich timbre - his voice was pure gold.


Oh yes, the Beast does not lie. This film is real. Richard Burton narrating. Liz Taylor starring. And 90 mins of my life contemplating suicide.....

Brings the hairs up on the back of my neck whenever I hear the opening lines:

To begin at the beginning:

It is spring, moonless night in the small town, starless
and bible-black, the cobblestreets silent and the hunched,
courters'-and-rabbits' wood limping invisible down to the
sloeblack, slow, black, crowblack, fishingboatbobbing sea.
The houses are blind as moles (though moles see fine to-night
in the snouting, velvet dingles) or blind as Captain Cat
there in the muffled middle by the pump and the town clock,
the shops in mourning, the Welfare Hall in widows' weeds.
And all the people of the lulled and dumbfound town are
sleeping now.

have elephants died out. i don't think so and this product sounds good but if was put onto the selves how much would it cost ?

 Dai "electric" reckons with his contacts in the far east he could knock the full unit out for ~ £100 including wireless remote, headphones and integral DVD.


 what about the elephants?


 There aren't any in Wales ergo they must have died out.


 ok will we be able to see this new product on chess.com adverts

I was watching the movie channel at 4 in the morning the other day and I saw the absolute weirdest film starring Richard Burton as a priest.

I'm with you, Beast!  That's gold.  I used to have it on casette tape--anybody remember those?  It got chewed up though and I haven't heard it since:(

Was it called The Night of the Iguana by Tennessee Williams?  

Burton played a defrocked priest - considered by many to be his finest hour on the screen, he varied his acting with the three female characters, each of whom he tries to seduce differently: Ava Gardner (the randy hotel owner), Sue Lyons (the nubile American tourist), and Deborah Kerr (the poor, repressed artist).

In the six game round robin Welsh Masters tournament in Llanfair PG. I used a total of just under 30 minutes with a two hour time control per game and I still won with 5.5/6. 


then why is your rating 1400, you nasty little retard

Nasty?  Your command of English appears limited.  Do you really mean nasty?  I have not posted anything nasty.

Perhaps you are just externalising your own self-loathing?  Do you need a hug?

Your tone seems inappropriately offensive and in denigrating players with a rating lower than 1,400 you are labelling over 60% of the people playing here with an offensive, derogatory and wholly unacceptable term of abuse.

Quite frankly you have let yourself down, your country down and you should be thoroughly ashamed of yourself.

In reality and ironically (though that will undoubtedly go right over your head) the epithet that you have so crassly chosen appears far more suitably descriptive of your own hate-filled persona.

No, I think it was called Absolution.  The one you're describing still sounds normal.  Lots of young creepy Catholic schoolboys in this one.

I don't want to be the idiot who comes into a conversation late and says something stupid, so to make sure, can we confirm that this topic is a joke before I begin to say how ridiculous of an idea this is?

I don't know where to begin but sometimes I simply just play on my laptop and put the chess board on half the screen and make the other half a video or browser. Or you can just play on a board or your computer and look up at a tv. A better idea would be to put a screen into the board or use glass for the table with a tv under it that could maybe be holographic or something so that it interchanges making it viewable to either player based on who's turn it was.

I'm drunk, beligerant, and uncomprehensible.... I read that long opening thread and have no clue what the purpose was.  Call me stupid, but that really didn't have any significant purpose.  Don't take it personal, but that is from a drunkards standpoint.

no this is very serious, so now if you dont have access to wild elephants (which apparently  they are no longer around..) you can watch them on the tv that comes outta the queen. (i hope the peices are big...)

I think this idea has been taken in some form.

While your excessive verbosity merits a modicum of deference, the multiplicity of errors disillusions potential readers from your intent, frustrating your purpose. You ought correct those improperly formed parallel phrases, for example, and reconsider verbiage such as "persona," the comprehension of whose definition you fail to demonstrate.

I think Beast's persona is just fabulous.  He's exposed us all to Welsh culture.  Why do negatives have to come and post here?

I'm not gay.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.
