What can we learn from this? Well, firstly that my father is a monstrous bully and it is high time I returned, charged with the lifeforce of a thousand PC strategy games, to exact a humiliating vengeance.

Whenever I selected a piece he'd nod, lift an eyebrow and say something like "oh, so you're doing that, are you?"
