You're quite correct UP.

Ooooh, I'll guess at Ship Called Dignity.

over to you.

Well, it's the only Deacon Blue song I know, so I reasoned that if I knew it, it must be really popular with actual fans.

Er. Right. Hmmm... (trying to think of one before leaving for the Friday lunch pub

)

What's the RRP of the Nintendo Wii, which was released at midnight last night?

£199.99?

(the picture was taken in Barcelona last year. It is indeed The Devil and God playing chess on the Ramblas - I'll try and post a bigger version when I get home)

Ooohh... not quite near enough.

£200 then.

chris de burgh high on something or other wrote: Well the railway man he cut the cards
And he dealt them each a hand of five
And for the Lord he was praying hard
Or that train he'd have to drive
Well the Devil he had three aces and a king
And the Lord, he was running for a straight
He had the queen and the knave
And nine and ten of spades
All he needed was the eight

I'm insulted you'd think I'd be that picky.

Wrong direction.

£199.98

Here's that picture by the way

The Cardinal is nearest, so it's his. £179.99. And the office was suspiciously empty today. As it always is the day after a console launch.

Who's playing black?

All yours, Your Em'...

I thank you.

Staying on a chess theme, what is the minimum number and lowest rank of pieces you need to achieve a checkmate in chess?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Sat Dec 09, 2006 2:16 pm

no idea. but a bit of logic suggests two pawns and a knight (and your own king)
