Bought Coffeehouse Reportoire x2, now have the eternal question as to whether to keep the volumes pristine (usual) or annotate the hell out of them with marker pens etc. What's the profrssional view? @GMGawain

Chairman Message We wish all our members good health and be assured we will reopen the Club at the first opportunity. Whatever the restrictions, we will find a way to go back to Winton Liberal Club on a Tuesday and relaunch the Chess Club with an optimistic view for the future.
Ideal for social distancing purposes...
In fact @ginger_gm is largely underestimated in the chess community. He not only rocks a cool hairstyle and plays like a drunk Alpha0, but he actually is a fine(!) player, with healthy opening ideas that are often ahead of their time. This is one of those non-sarcasm tweets.👌

Lidl management today said that because of the panic buying and pandemonium in their stores, they are taking drastic action and opening another till.
As a failed Nerdy Scientist (the science bit, not the nerdy), I am extremely pleased to see the PM surrounding himself with excellent advisors of this type. I take a scientific view over a ranty political comment any day. Hoorah for the Nerdy Scientist!!
