| Apr-11-20 | | rogge: Takk for det, medborger :) Brakkesyke og hjemmekontor, men teams/skypemøter med jobb og familie liver jo opp dagen, samt viktig å komme seg ut hver dag. Alle friske og i godt humør, og nå mener Oxford-miljøet med 80% sannsynlighet å ha en fungerende vaksine allerede i september? Marerittet kan ta slutt tidligere enn antatt :) God og virusfri påske ønskes deg deg og dine, <Diademas> |

 | | Count Wedgemore: Takk for din hyggelige påskehilsen, Knut. jeg måtte en tur tilbake på sykehuset for noen dager grunnet mine hjerteproblemer, så jeg har ikke "sjekket inn" på en stund. Nå står alt bra til. Håper du hadde en fin påske, omstendighetene tatt i betraktning. Ideen med familiemiddag gjennom Skype hørtes bra ut! Vel, jeg håper det funket i praksis. Din venn Bjørn |

I don't know. Maybe it was the best. That was my list of the candidates. |

Please don't kill me... |

| | FSR: <Diademas> Hey, I won! No need to go on a killing spree. And certainly I'm not going after those wonderful people (or whatever kind of being you are - hard to tell from the avatar) like you who voted for me! Thank you! I thought my pun was amazing. As someone who's had 144 of my puns used (and more than twice that not used), I can tell you that it's virtually impossible to find a game that fits a pun so perfectly. But I will admit that the game itself wasn't all that great, unfortunately. White got a crushing position, then seemed to have blown it until Black stumbled into mate. |

“I always dreamt about wearing the yellow jersey and now it’s a dream come true,” the Norwegian said. “You can’t dream of a better start. We have a team of climbers and didn’t think of winning the sprints, at least not so early on but I felt really strong in the final kilometres and going to the line, I saw I’m going to win. It was an amazing feeling. I’m really proud of what I was able to do. The boys kept me safe during the stage but I was alone in the final kilometers. But I still found a good wheel. I was sitting on Sagan for a long time. Then I got boxed in but I saw Cees Bol starting on the right and tried to follow. I saw he was fading but I still had legs, so I went. It was an amazing moment for me.”> https://www.cyclingnews.com/races/t...Alexander Kristoff!! |

You have changed your avatar from a giant green grinning monster to a damn tiny green bunny rabbit kind of thing. It has no gravitas! Your humorous posts just don't have the same quality anymore. I am grieved. |

Yes, of course, deal.
<Your membership expires on Jan-02-2024> I am not certain that you will be able to extend mine, if I win, but anyway, I'm OK with it. Just please remind me if and when I have to lose my precious money because of this (hopefully suicidal) bet. Jan-22-21

If I lose and I'm still alive when the WC cycle ends this year (and I am not banned, but I think I can do it even in this sometimes favourable case), you will get the premium membership extension. OK, if in prison, I'll be forced to break the deal. Fortunately, I am not a criminal. |

As you see above (Diademas chessforum (kibitz #267)) I have other bets and with the same procedure. I'm not going to show up at your funeral to collect, but I would appreciate it if you showed up in mine. Mrs Diademas would certainly know how to cherish the comic relief. |

But as I am 33, I might have plenty of years to destroy my freedom in chaining myself to an even worse chess player in eternal love. The seller girl in the nearby grocery is at least 2760 in being beautiful, so wild ideas might appear. |
