» Evidence that you're getting old

Walking past a toy shop...
I saw chess sets for sale. I took a fleeting glance and stopped. The board was set up wrong.

all the pieces were in the right places (even the Queens, which is my usual gripe), but there was one major flaw.

The bottom right-hand square was black.

within seconds I found myself complaining to the girl behind the cash desk, explaining how it would make playing Kings Gambit a nightmare.

wow, on top of that sad outburst, I laughed at my "great" almost pun above..."knightmare"

in fact talking of knightmare does anyone remember the TV show? it was great.

oh...what was I saying again...
