Back in 2010, ten year-old chess prodigy Samuel Sevian played an impromptu game of speed chess at the US Chess School in LA with visiting international grandmaster Greg Shahade.

The game took about four minutes.

Pieces were knocked over. 7-Up was chugged. An ass was handed to its owner.

A truck has lost some of its load in the centre of town in  A couple of bales have come loose and fallen off. There is now a standoff between the local barber and the farmer.
The farmer is waiting for someone to come down and help him reload, the barber is livid because the hay is effecting “footfall” and “crippling my business day”.

They’re arguing, the barber says he’s calling the Garda because this is “obstructing pedestrian traffic and is now a matter for the law. More as I get it (unless my bus to Dublin comes first).
