Of course we may all laugh, but it wouldn't have been funny had the plane smashed into Venus.

Has anyone done the "that wasn't venus that was uranus" comment yet?

Me, once we'd restrained him and I'd been patched up, I finished the game for him. I think the going insane act was an attempt at trying not to lose as he was in a hopeless position.Originally posted by SimonMac View PostWho won the game though?
Would never call a frenchy a cheese eating, surrender monkey though, seemed pretty handy with the knives...

Who won the game though?Originally posted by Zoiderman View PostI used to house share with a French Lad in London. He was very bright, lovely bloke, and we used to play Chess every night. One night, we're playing chess and he's acting a bit odd. He goes and picks up two knifes he owns (he was a sous chef), and as I start getting the better of him, he picked up his queen and swallowed her. Said he was protecting her dignity and if I got any closer, he'd protect her with his life and his knives.
Long story short, I got stabbed and he ended up sectioned. Parents flew in from Bahrain, where they lived, and said he had no history of mental illness. Just lost that night. Put me off chess for a long time....

One month he loses big time - he boss asks why. He says that Peter Rabbit has made the trades - and points to the next desk (which is empty) and says "Peter Rabbit sits there". He got given 3 months holiday!
