'Voluntary migration'  - bollocks

That was the line taken by Mosley's British movement n the 50s, towards black Britons. That was hypocritical bollocks, as well.

On a reread of Robertson Davies, including reading The Salterton Trilogy out loud to my wife. Maybe my favourite writer

Dear Thread,

Well as I explained on a earlier post which is now lost, lost I tell you :P the agony, sheer agony of it all :P anyway on recommendation from old Almost Sensible I am reading the Immortal Game, fascinating book, it is my wee ten minute read before I head off to dream land.

I am following the game on my own Chess board and have to admit it has awoken my love for the game again❤️ and found out that I am a romantic Chess player :P I am all charge, death to the infidels, the best form of defence is attack, which is why I am rubbish at the game, just an old wood pusher but I love it.

But now! one of the interesting things the book talks about is this child genius stuff is mostly bunkum, the psychology studies point too, that old adage "Practice makes perfect" anyone any thoughts on that.

The history part is also very interesting, Chess with Dice, what! I mean what :o

Gonnagle.
