Jun-21-16  Cibator: Thanks for posting the game <Nosnibor>. As a matter of interest, where did you get it? I've only seen it myself once before, in a long-defunct UK publication that I no longer possess.
Jun-22-16  Nosnibor: <Cibator> The game was gleaned from the 1964 B.C.M.PAGE 286.Incidentally his win was by the huge margin of two points finishing on 9/11 with 4 others on 7/11 including former champion Golombek and 2.5 points ahead of Penrose the holder.

  offramp: There are Haygarths and there are Hogarths. There are no Hegarths or Highgarths, but there is a Hughgarth.

Hughgarth there! Friend or foe!

I have cut all these games out of the BCMs and I have sellotaped them together into a big ball and given them to Vasily Ivanchuk, and I've told him to give him to User: Plaskett who will annotate them and upload them.

Jul-28-17  Nosnibor: <offramp> You are simply amazing !

  Stonehenge: < Pronounced "Henjee">

Thanks for pointing that out, I thought it was pronounced <Throatwobbler Mangrove>.

Jun-01-22  jerseybob: Didn't mean to be condescending. Just wanted to make sure my pathetic pun was at least pronounced right.

Jun-02-22  jerseybob: <jessicafischerqueen:<jerseybob>, <Stony Luxury Yacht> That's funny!
Jun-02-22  jerseybob: <Stonehenge: Oh no, I was just joking. You can call me Hengey all you want.> OK, now that we've moved forward, are you from the Salisbury Plain area? I visited Stonehenge back in '96, and actually got to walk next to the Henge. That pre-911 era was so carefree!

<jerseybob>

Interestingly, if you visit Salisbury Plain thinking you're going to get a good tuck in, the closest inn serving palatable salisbury steak is a good three day's walk.

However, thanks to sciencing articles, I can report that the journey to the <Dutch Treat *authentic* English Salisbury Steak and Pankoek Haus> is well worth it!

You can find the directions in this handy documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=666...

Jun-02-22  jerseybob: <jessicafischerqueen: Interestingly, if you visit Salisbury Plain thinking you're going to get a good tuck in, the closest inn serving palatable salisbury steak is a good three day's walk.> I wouldn't know a "palatable Salisury steak" if it suddenly appeared in my kitchen. That's something I only know from 1960's TV dinners!
