27/07/2023 Chess & Pizza Night
Jonathan Arnott has sent out today an e-mail which may be of interest (especially if you like pizzas) and reads as follows:
And now for the webmaster’s joke about Long John Silver’s parrot:
Long John Silver’s parrot was agitated and squawking on its perch while holding its wings to its stomach. Long John asked what the problem was and got the reply: “Pizzas I’ve ate”
(It helps if you’ve read R. L. Stevenson’s Treasure Island and know the parrot tended to say, “Pieces of Eight”, referring to the Spanish coin of the C16th.)
