sceptic

How many christians thrown to the lions (this may predate but the point is the same) How many jews gassed How many killed by stalin Yugoslavia ethnic cleansing Africa (too many to mention) How many innocent vietnaese killed by napalm How many civilizations did the spanish destroy( this may predate but the point is the same) And I am sure us Brits can't evade some kind of attrocity somewhere in our history How about uprooting people to test nuclear weapons and poisoning the land I would not like to pick a winner, I think this poll is quite sick

I am not happy about my bidding I was South how should I bid this hand 6 clubs was at best optimistic, I was not happy with 2 spades either [hv=d=n&v=n&n=st64ha4dj5caq9852&w=s92hj9765dkq4c743&e=sj8753htdat872cjt&s=sakqhkq832d963ck6]399|300|Scoring: IMP[/hv] West North East South - 1♣ Pass 1♥ Pass 2♣ Pass 2♠ Pass 3♠ Pass 4♣ Pass 5♣ Pass 6♣ Pass Pass Pass

DO YOU REAALY CARE ABOUT IT

Helene, the nuthouse is the right place for you and that has nothing to do with your bridge :o

clever bugger

Jesus only had one biological parent, explain that to me?

well if GOD gaves us brains and the ability to be creative in what we do (as he does move in mysterious ways) should we not try and manipulate the gene pools of life and create new types of life, to compensate for the right we seem to have given ourselves to destroy life with our way of living, maybe that is the answer to the ultimate question, GOD does not exist, we are GOD

Phew I am glad we are all agreed then :mellow:

with a pick up pard, what should I bid with no agreements?

I was tempted to bid 1 heart, decided against it as opps would get in or we have a major misfit I was also tempted to bid 4 hearts, I thought this would just give opps 4 spade contract or what ever else they may have I was tempted to bid 2 clubs and wish I had now 2 loser hand so I went for a 6 heart bid what do you think of 6 hearts and how would you bid it [hv=d=w&v=n&n=saj2hatdkt52cj962&w=shkq9876542daq84c&e=skq6543hdjct87543&s=st987hj3d9763cakq]399|300|Scoring: IMP[/hv] West North East South 6♥ Dbl RDbl Pass Pass Pass

Should I have passed 3NT [hv=d=s&v=a&n=sk9754ht8d2cjt942&w=sa82ha643dj8654ca&e=sjthqj2dakq97cq75&s=sq63hk975dt3ck863]399|300|Scoring: IMP[/hv] West North East South - - - Pass 1♦ 1♠ Dbl Pass 2♥ Pass 3NT Pass 4♥ Pass Pass Pass

After my pard went down (I dont think that that was unusual for this hand) he said I should pass 1NT, we had no agreements so I played 2 diamonds as natural [hv=d=e&v=e&n=skt98h654dk982cq4&w=saqj72h7dq754ca87&e=s3hkqt8daj63ck632&s=s654haj932dtcjt95]399|300|Scoring: IMP[/hv] West North East South - - 1♣ Pass 1♠ Pass 1NT Pass 2♦ Pass 2NT Pass 3NT Pass Pass Pass

ignore someone asked it

Is it possible on a tournament for the TD to manually close the tourney down when play has finished, so that outstanding adjustments can be done before the results are published?

Hi all, does anyone know where a good resource is for standard carding 2/4th leads etc

If you had spent 5 minutes chatting to your partner and agreeing a system and some conventions, you would not have this problem. A quite common fault amongst pick up partners in the MBC:(

no expert here but with 3 losers why not just bid game forcing bid "2 diamonds" or is that a bit to obvious, I must be missing a brain cell here 2D 3C 3D P 3H p 4H p *then what ever you decide to do after that will get you to 5 level or poss slam I am not sure 4HCP from pard is enough to bid anything other than cheapest Heart next

Op wins first trick then opps lead K clubs pard no clubs left pard ruffs low with AQJxxx ops dont over ruff, they discard a diamond then comes a undo after a few mins undo granted (I did not delay) when undo granted my pard then requested and undo to change to a a higher trump what are your thoughts

Hi all I am posting this on someone elses behalf, can I have comments on the 2 club opener and if you feel as I do, that 2clubs is a poor choice, please can you explain why and what action you would have for bidding this hand and continuations also could you explain what can go wrong by bidding 2 clubs (and if you feel I am wrong, please feel free to be as harsh as you like) :) I never try teaching btw, I am not good enough :) # Thank you [hv=d=w&v=e&n=sthakq5dakj3ckjt3&w=sa95hjt863d97c874&e=sqj8643h7d864c652&s=sk72h942dqt52caq9]399|300|Scoring: IMP[/hv] West North East South Pass 2♣ Pass 2♦ Pass 2♥ Pass 3NT Pass Pass Pass H6 HA H7 H2 D3 D4 DQ D7 D2 D9 DA D6 DK D8 D5 C7 DJ C2 DT C4 C3 C5 CA C8 CQ S5 CT C6 C9 H3 CK S3 CJ S4 H4 H8 HK S6 H9 HT HQ S8 S2 HJ H5 SJ S7 S9 ST SQ SK SA

right clicking on the name of people that accept your invite, this is assuming you can see the names on the screen allows you to auto place people this I find easy

If anyone can answer that question, you could become a billionaire What ever the reason she wants to be friends, I think he should meet her, if he does not he it may bug him for years, get it over with and get on with your life

If anyone can answer that question, you could become a billionaire

if you want to keep her as a friend, DO NOT say "told you so" when it all goes tits up :)

may be if the market crashes the people that led the world into possible reccesion will get an abrupt wake up call after all you lot voted them in, unfortunately I expect the have feathered their nest well enough that only the numbties that voted them in get burnt and I hold my hand up high, I really don't give a toss if it all comes tumbling down, maybe the world will be a better place once America is no longer the leading power in the world I cant say I have ever met any chinese that are not pleasant, maybe it is thier turn for a bash at top dog, I dont want to see the russians get in, who in thier right mind would want some idiot in power that thinks they are above the law and wants to take over the world by any means possible hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm perhaps if they did, no one would notice the difference, except the hammer and sickle over Iraq
