RO-ok-er-Y

Terry,

Please don't feel I was pulling you up for the smut and innuendo, I'm not that kind of woman. Any complaints were purely because I hate to be excluded from it. I love double entendres too.

Teech,

That's OK we'd give you one anytime.

im glad you asked teech,i realised that i only guessed the answer because you mentioned chess(and"nest site")i can't see any relevance of chess anymore.
ixion seems to have a much better explanation although,King Roy?

feel free to borrow The Duchess anytime,shes mad for it.

Ah - i see now that you are a Lady,Ms teech.
The offer still stands.

Trevor,

The chess piecery was my cryptic way of suggesting the answer I'd come up with - I'm not sure how things work on this forum, some places don't like you to spit out your answer. I am also confused by the King Roy bit but didn't want to admit it after already asking so many questions! Even if it alluded to roi I'd expect a pointer to say it was a different spelling.

Terry,

I set it up, you kicked it in. You now have to charge around the house with your shirt over your head, arms aloft, shouting, "GOOOOOOAL!"

Roy (roi), n. [F. roi.] A king. [obs.]

Teech,

Very apt. Match of the day has just started.

Now I've got the Match of the Day theme tune in my head.
