For goodness sake! Just went to the local hotel for supper. The place was full of a chess convention with chess players everywhere in Reception telling us all how great they are at chess. Honestly, there's nothing worse than chess nuts boasting in an open foyer.

@NormanDunbar I read this, shrugged, moved on to read the next post. Then the synapses kicked in and I got it. Nice.
@NormanDunbar oddly enough, Hastings is indeed hosting a chess tournament over Christmas!
@NormanDunbar no pun intended ten did
🔥🔥🔥
That is the hell to which you are to be consigned. Did not pick up even a hint until that last line.
So, take this with you 🏅
Gawd, how I love a good pun, especially when I don't expect it. 😊
Chess players, a wretched hive of scum and villainy.
Literally, the worst of us !!!!
@NormanDunbar I just stole that and put it on a group chat where I knew it would play well (heheheh see what I did there?) It did. Thank you.
@NormanDunbar That is terrible enough that I will tell it to The Child, he will appreciate it 😂
Why did the elf quit his job roasting chestnuts?
Because the work was driving him nuts.
That is joke from Tesco Luxury Crackers, I wish I had spent that £8 on wine instead.
@NormanDunbar I'll rate that joke around 2250.
@NormanDunbar@mastodon.scot I can't believe how long it took me to realise this was a joke... but I still laughed.
