Maybe we could double up on the last few episiodes - they aren't too long. It wouldn't be the same without you, TT.

Thanks - we'll see if anyone else minds, if not we'll double up with episodes 12/13, 14/15 and 16/17. We'll still do 10 and 11 as single episodes. Vote Og.

Now I do remember this episode! I was into chess and I had been to a real life chess game with my school mates... *No, I am not. I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.*
