Dearest Dicky Trigg,
        Tried to contact you on Facebook, but somehow I seem to be blocked, reason I wanted to contact you, was I had one of those amazing prophetic dreams that I have now and then. Send me a friend request and I will tell you all about it. Before the sexual innuendo boys get on the bandwagon, It has nothing to do with that, more a spiritual thing. Hope you are well and this little Blackpool thing of yours went well for somebody somewhere.
All the best and remembering Happy Times - El Sid x

I don't know the full rules of this comp and how many attempts an individual can make at winning the prize. In the event that I am not outdrawn could I have book tokens instead.

Wer oft schiesst, trifft endlich. (Sorry! English only.) 

This early twenty first century photograph is of the devotees of the Devilfish, a clandestine cult whose soul aim was to promote sales of  forthcoming books written by the man who was also known as The Ulliot. 

The two devotees seen here are high in the hierarchical structure and are performing a divination prior to the launch of the latest Devilfish book,
(ISBN: FML666)

The ritual they are performing is to bring good luck! The white ball in the foreground is moved around the four corners of the earth, on uneven ground, all movements of the ball are reported back to other cult members, many who never see the light of day.

The subtle movements of the ball will predict future book sales for the Devilfish. At this particular juncture, they can guarantee one sale, as part of a competition amongst other devotees.

In the Chess game in From Russia With Love, they duplicated the moves of a famous Spassky and Bronstein chess game. The game I was thinking of originally, and vaguely, was ( I think ) in an episode of a TV series in the 60s or 70s. This by proxy chess scenario has obviously been used many time since and probably a few times before.
Shame there are no Grand Masters in poker that we might want to emulate, as opposed to the partially sighted leading the blind.

Possibly Poirot - thought it was more contemporary.

Photo reminds me of the movie where an intermediary plays two grand masters - walking from room to room - relaying their moves - without them being aware that they are actually playing each other.

There is such a thing as a free lunch - someone bought me one yesterday. Admittedly it only cost £5.95. ( also read about how I play heads up with myself in the mirror - and find out if it's me or the mirror image that always gets the edge. This technique is one of the greatest eyeopeners in poker.

To D. Morgan: Today is that new day I mentioned yesterday. To be twenty-one in a free country is a fabulous thing. People die in containers just for the chance to get here and do an honest day's work. Muhammad Ali's quote (paraphrased) that a man of fifty who knows no more than when he was twenty, has wasted thirty years, could not be more true.

Trust me when I tell you the future dictates the past. A lifetime of LOL's and PMSL's will only lead to self-recriimination. If you don't articulate your thoughts you will never know what your thoughts are.

Every man is his own life coach - Trust your gut feeling - Avoid the crowd - Crowds don't think they just react - Save and prosper  El Sid.

Is that a yes?

Greekstine:  Of course you would like me if you met me. Come down to Brighton for a bit of dinner. You will have a wonderful time. Bring Dickie Trigg, I have already met him. Do you like lobster, my man on the sea front gets hold of the best lobsters in the U.K. This is not a sham invite, come down and have a good time. Meet the missus, we always have a great laugh.

To Greekstine:  You remind me of that great old song: I don't want to play in your yard, I don't like you anymore! Have I said something to offend?
Have I not observed the niceties?  Is speaking ones mind a little off-putting? Let rip and say what you really feel - it's cathartic. Get it off your chest - release the prisoner - Soon I'll let you into the secret of the Dance of the Siddhars, then you will start to live.

To George2 LooseLautrec: You're not the first guy to think that I was farooked in the kop, and believe me you won't be the last. Love the way Jose Ferrer played you in the movie. Just adore the impressionists!

To: Go with the Crowd, D. Morgan:
Keep balancing on the fence - If I want to criticise anyone I do it face to face - never behind their back - You might be a full member but I doubt if you're the full shilling - Toadying sycophant, one minute, nauseating monosyllabicist the next - I'll tell you about pot and black. When I was an idiot savant I used to pot snooker balls blindfold, just by the sound of the balls. Look back at your posts, there are worse things than turncoats, but not many. You're 21 now and it's time to start acting like a man.

Don't dilute your personality by becoming a clack. Start thinking for yourself! Tomorrow is the start of a whole new life for you, make something of it and do something to be proud of. You won't want to look back at yourself in twenty years time to realise that all you were was a chatroom charlie. All the best with your endeavours, spend a little time in the library it will do you the world of good.
