Not in my bloody experience - never met an English bird capable of even making ends meet - as a rough guide, goin' out with an English chick'll cost minimally £1500 a month, normally more Laughing

At that rate, I hope she's at least doing your laundry too.

Nope, that the normal cost of just goin' out with 'em - when they lives with you they is even more expensive - that's one of the reasons (there are others) why only bin involved with one English bird in the last 25 years - prefer hispanics anyways Smile

Partially. We call it "going Dutch".

"Check" is not a misspelling of "cheque," just an alternative spelling.

In my opinion, the ideal way to go would be to map each square to one or more possible unambiguous signals. For example, you could group the alphabet into 8 categories (e.g. abc, def, ghi, jkl, mno, pqr, stuv, wxyz), then define the initial file by the first letter of the first word, the initial rank by the last letter of the first word, the final file by the first letter of the last word, and the final file by the last letter of the last word. This would allow a very wide variety of possible sentences as long as the first and last words are carefully chosen.

Oh, and only the first complete sentence should count. After that, you can continue with ordinary conversation while your opponent thinks about her move.

Or just have a unique sentence for each move.

"The geese fly high."e4

"The frost is on the grass."  e5

...

You'd need no more than 64x63 sentences .. about 4,000.

I'd just say, "Dear, I have an urgent conference call with the company CEO, it will only take ten minutes." Then leave the table, finish the game and return.
