charon 4,943 Posted August 15, 2014 It seems that chess is becoming a dangerous game these days, as it is reported that 2 players playing in the World championships in Norway have played their last games, one from the seychelles. I didn't realise thatchess was such a stressful pastime. Cos it sounds like the female equivelant of 'Thatcher.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Galento 24 Posted August 16, 2014 I must start showing more respect as I had forgotten that the Thatcher boy is now a Baronet and is entitled to be called the Honourable Sir Mark Thatcher. What a fucking joke!!!!!!!!! I seem to remember him getting involved in an attempted arms coup in some far-distant country with Simon Mann, who got 34 years in jail, whilst Thatcher walked away free. The Dear Bill column in Private Eye some years ago summed him up for what he was then and presumably still is now. Is his sister still hawking it about?

And apparently they were a bunch of exiled Soviet Commie scumbags who were presumably kicked out for not being scummy enough, and then went on to scum around in the scumhole known as East Germany.
