  Stonehenge: Dispatch Mode.

<While Depeche Mode were touring with the band Blancmange in the early 1980s, Fletcher was renowned for his skill at chess. Neil Arthur of Blancmange has mentioned in interviews "never winning a game of chess with Andy Fletcher!">

  perfidious: Different Andy Fletcher; I knew the player here quite well in the first half of the 1980s, and will submit any of our four or so encounters at the board if I come across them.
