    I blew a lot on vodka and tonic, gambling and fags. Looking back, I think I overdid it on the tonic. - The one and only Stanley Bowles

              It's things like 'guilt-edged' (it should be gilt-edged of course) that really get me, because the meaning is so different to the original - I mean how the #### can a glorious chance that is missed be called guilt-edged?! Is it because people think the player feels guilty for not burying it?

                You shouldn't be reading this thread anyway. Didn't you read its title?

                    Not sure a full stop is necessary before a question mark.!

                          Please Sir, if we are niggling about trivia (?), could the site's clocks be turned back an hour, we seemed to have missed last week's changes away from BST.

                            You can adjust that in your profile settings as follows:

                            < settings (top right)
                            < general settings (left pane)
                            < DST Correction Option: Automatically detect DST settings
