@gambrel saidA certain clan could use you at this point in time.
What have I done?
Of course it is always nice to see you.

@billyray saidPerhaps sticking in something less “mamby- pamby” would give us more hope of your hanging around?🤔😉👍

I formally retired from active chess a few years ago to spend time with my grandchild. Last Sept I retired from butchering due to health reasons.
Now I just watch games and study, trying to teach my grand baby the game now.

Nice to know you are teaching your grandchild the game, lucky to have a teacher like you.
I also, hope you understand my position in leaving Metallica, one of the most difficult decisions I had to make. I always stick to what I say I am going to do once I make up my mind as you know.
Kindest Regards,

@very-rusty saidCan we stick with keeping clan issues in the Clans forum?🤔👍

@great-big-stees saidThanks for trying to keep me in check, but I'll say as I wish to an old friend Stees!

I know we try to keep conversations of clans out of here and other topics, but the poster I was talking to and I have played on two different clan/teams together and have not spoken in person, but have talked for hours on the phone.
He doesn't put in an appearance that often so just catching him up on the latest, sorry if it offended you! 😛 😉

@torunn saidOf course and I concur with you.
We are all happy to see Gambrel.
I will not be told what I can say to him, that is just me.
I think we should probably just move along, stick to talking about nothing. 🙂
