"We're the Beatles, constable - you'll find the Rolling Stones next door at Keith Richards' gaff...."
...and while we are here, just wait for the shock awaiting you when you discover that Symphony Angel and Captain Blue were once an item! S.I.G.!
There's not even a mention of his membership of the Haçienda.
Always remember the spirit of Yorkshire's legendary tail-end bowler, Chris Old, who scored the third-fastest century of all time, at Edgbaston in 1977, with 100 runs off 72 balls in 37 minutes, the last 50 of which were scored in nine minutes. There's always hope!
The last man standing! Fond memories learning the game as a kid, in August 1972, during Fischer-Spassky, and discovering Leonard's column - and each Saturday waking up early to run to my local library to read it! Over 50 years later, still reading his column!
The last man standing! Been a devoted reader of Len's column since I was schoolboy in 1972 at the height of the Fischer-Spassky match. Fond memories of running down to my local library first thing on Saturday mornings to read his column!
Leonard's standing was complicated by JJ Walsh at The Irish Times. He started at the IT a couple of months before him, in July 1955, and retired in late May, aged 93. His column was just a daily chess puzzle though, his final one being #15,896.
I believe it came from PR shots from the first couple of seasons of The Wire, where they had all that chess talk and analogies. His character, Stringer Bell, was a gang-land strategist - he didn't play in the series, but in his apartment, there was many shots of a strategically placed chess set.
I think it was a typo, and they meant to say "...with one big drawbridge."
“And then, as if by magic....”
Not a lot of people know that.
Lie back Rosie and think of England!
Mr Blobby set to front new UK public information films.
I think CMAT is just a force of nature - unstoppable.
Well-known fact this is why there's no whales in Holland.

The TV series was one of the best BBC dramas of the early 1970s - compulsive viewing when I was a kid. Great cast led by Robert Wagner, David McCallum, Bernard Hepton and Anthony Valentine. You should find it all on YouTube.
It was the 1970s. He was into chess and a chess backstory was specifically written into the early 1970s BBC pow drama, Colditz, for him. He portrayed in the series the super-duper, uber-Nazi SS Major Horst Mohn, who before the war was a noted player.
Didn't this story not turn out to be an April 1st spoof from over a decade ago?
It's always a bit high-brow, reminiscent in many ways to the wonderful graffiti scene in The Life of Brian, with the Roman Centurion correcting the Latin: "What's this, then? 'Romanes Eunt Domus'? 'People called Romanes they go the house'?
Not in pubic, surely?!
Are you having a dig?!
His caddy's nickname is "Oddjob".
I've got my Hawaii driving licence with the name "McLovin" on it - I'm sure that will be good enough,
The best depiction was the brilliance of Mel Brooks in his 1976 flick "Silent Movie", with the only word spoken being 'No' by the normally button-lipped Marcel Marceau.

It's just like Hitler, who circa 1908 became extremely angry after his application for the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts was rejected.
We're all in a bad remake of 13 Days in October called 14 Days in La-La Land.
"I'll let everyone know in 14 days what I intend to do with Sergeant Howie..."
These days they would be flicking through the channels and called The News Seekers.
It's a bad remake of 13 Days in October - 14 Days in La La Land.
It's a bad remake of 13 Days in October - 14 Days in La La Land.
Fat chance these days of seeing a doctor let alone a medic!
It's a redo of 13 Days in October - 14 Days in La La Land.
The irony being, as typical for iPlayer, it is available for 29 days - no imagination there from those posting stuff on iPlayer!
I'm sure, just like Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, Marmite recorded a cover version of Yeasterday.

Now they tell me! For the past few weeks, on doctor's orders, I was instructed to keep a diary of my bowel movements.
No, the board is set up the right way round on the rectangular table for a game.
No, that would be misconception. Kibitzer is someone who offers unsolicited advice/thoughts/commentary on something to someone, generally used in cards (where it originated from c.1915) and more specifically in chess.
One will surely go extinct - my best guess would be Dino.
No, a spectator. This is a common misconception: Kibitzer, from Yiddish, is someone who offers unwelcome thoughts or advice - invariably referenced in chess or cards, by whispering to another spectator nearby.
It's not what you do it's the way that you do it.
And Nostradamus-like, also what Zager and Evans will be doing in 500 years from now.
I'm sure you were there, yes?
That's Gloria to you.
Don't tell me the fiver came from Lozza himself to get things rolling?

He already has lots of experience of people looking to kiss his ring.
It's a bugger shoplifting these days and trying to remove those security tags, isn't it?
He has all that experience already of people looking to kiss his ring.
You could well be asking the same for June.
There is actually one cardinal among the favourites with the surname of Scola - they should give him the gig just for everyone to call him Pope Scola.
They only have bells on their ankles so they can tell which way up they are after going to all those pubs.
I don't remember him in Tommy.
Ah yes, The Margo-a-Lago Conspiracy!
And more than likely you came back on Saturday late evening with money still in your pocket.
Don't forget the return of crown imprints on pint glasses in pubs - that and blue passports were hard-won rights for a relieved nation.
Yes, that's what they want you to believe!
Jerry will be furious when he finds out -and left-leaning environmentalists Tom & Barbara now not the only subversives living the good life on The Avenue, Surbiton.
His Maga fanatics are wondering what the Tesla gas consumption is.
I would have thought Trump's endorsement of Tesla cars would be the kiss of death for company sales. Then again, Trump is probably playing 4D Chess here by damaging EV sales.
Four MPs now, Paul.
I fear the global popcorn suppliers will not be able to cope with the demand.
I'm shocked, I tell you. Shocked that Keir Starmer orchestrated the by-election date to coincide with Reform UK's worst possible time, as a civil war breaks out between Farage and Lowe.
Statement from Nigel Farage: “We don't talk or have dinner with Rupert anymore - he’s in the People’s Judean Front."
"We don't talk to Rupert anymore - he's in the People's Judean Front."
Rupert Lowe denies tonight he's seeking advice from Ernst Lowe.

If he wants to see places he's never been to before, then someone should give him directions to his local tax office.
All getting a bit People's Front of Judea in Reform UK. Farage will be telling his members to go back to their constituencies... and tool up for a street fight.
"We're the People's Front of Judea...."
Rupert Lowe now seeking advice from Ernst Rohm.
Currently seeking advice from Ernst Rohm.
And getting a bit People's Front of Judea in Reform UK right now - rumours of Musk financing a new splinter party. They should call it Reform Reform UK.
Seeking advice tonight from Ernst Rohm.
Leslie Nielsen and Priscilla Presley would be pleased about the return of the beaver.
I worked for the Labour party at the time - it is true that we started to see the election ebbing away from us with the start of the Gulf War.
Ask it for Liz Truss's length in office. That and the lettuce.
Thinks he's playing chess - turns out he's playing Monopoly on a Risk board.
Where's Sean Connery when you need him most of all?
Tony famously was told to send a telegram back home to the British Chess Federation if he gained his final norm in Dubna. When it duly arrived, and they read it, it said "A Telegram."
