Back in the game! After three months off, one day only, 15/10 tournament. Drawn against one of three Grand Masters so not off to a great start! Played well for seven moves๐Ÿ˜‚

Some of you may be familiar with the beautiful trad song โ€œItโ€™s a long way from Clare to hereโ€; Clare in the distance, Galway bay in between and the famous diving boards at the end of Salthill strand in Galway๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช

I donโ€™t know if reports that this gobshite has been a Russian asset since the 80s are true, but they are certainly believable๐Ÿซฃ

I think Greenland or Panama more his style, not unlike that other fascist bully Mussolini invading Abyssinia during WW2.
Yep letโ€™s keep in touch on travel plans.

Iโ€™m supposed to be going to US over next 18 months, to visit someone there, wonโ€™t be going on principle, I can see unrest there in the near future.
Donโ€™t think theyโ€™ll invade Canada, remember heโ€™s a huge bully, it would be one of the most stupid and profoundly traitorous acts ever.

If I can be of any help with info, pleased to help. By coincidence Iโ€™m thinking of a long stay in Canada, not sure about emigrating, but perhaps a long stay, havenโ€™t gone into the detail yet ( itโ€™s a very big country ), very small country here, you may find it only slightly bigger than your garden๐Ÿ˜Š

Just listening to the news from Saudi, Iโ€™m still confused, is Russia now going to be the 51st US state or is the US going to become a Russian republic?? Nice work Don Marco๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ
