The great old names... <I have had playmates, I have had companions, In my days of childhood, in my joyful schooldays, All, all are gone, the old familiar faces. I have been laughing, I have been carousing, Drinking late, sitting late, with my bosom cronies, All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.> Dec-18-16    Domdaniel: <offramp> Quite. Somewhat to my surprise, I've never played a tournament game vs Hebden, Flear or Arkell ... though I've played in tournaments alongside all three of them. Dec-18-16    Domdaniel: <When you grow tired Of the friends you make Never ever turn your back on them Say they were the best of times You ever had The very best of times With the thoughtless kind. We dress conservatively At the best of times Prefer the shadows To the bright lights in the eyes...> John Cale Dec-16-19    Tabanus: Flear (38th) and Arkell (47th) disappared from the CG list after I edited the standings. Sorry about that. Dec-16-19    MissScarlett: I'm just happy to know that they're still alive.
