      Well if you have any "manifold accomplishments" at all, humour isn't clearly one of them
      Hard Brexit now!

        That's originalPM. His Mum allows him 1 hour on Civ 5 before bedtime as a reward, if there are no skid marks in his pants.

            And, while I'm at it, I'm not also a huge fan of Mr Trump but making the leader of the most powerful country in the world the focus of the "daily hate" isn't exactly going to ensure we're first in the queue for a trade deal is it?
            And again, I'm forced to post the image that sums up your opinion perfectly....

              Stop. Getting that belly laugh you get in CUK when you interact with the "Deep Losers".

But I've never written a line of code in my life, so happy to be corrected. I would imagine in coding that even the piece descriptor ('N' for knight) is unnecessary and g1-f3 would adequately describe removing the piece that occupies square g1 and placing it on f3 (or perhaps removing the square g1 from the piece that occupies it and adding the square f3 to the piece - but that might be more complicated when managing captures??)

                I do like the idea of coding so may teach myself some when I retire.

                    You went to all the effort of a completely inane and childish retort just for me? Ah bless.

                      I like to sink to your level sometimes, its fun going that far down.
