haha I never bother asking I just post

IF he was a racist he would not have black, coloured and white people serving (look at photo) why should you not be able to define who you want to trade with? I wish I could only have english speaking employees, it would make my life easier I have yet to work with someone who does not speak english that can not get their point across when they have a complicated pay query, yet fail to understand a simple instruction when it suits them when in Rome do as the Romans do just my humble opinion as a quite liberated person when it comes to race or colour, does not matter to me, assholes come in all breeds, colours and religions I think Phil's cafe is entitled to trade as he wishes and I admire his conviction to say what he thinks to many people are afraid to say what they think as they tend to get judged by others (and who the hell are they to judge someone else)

I am looking for ideas about how to structure the days can some of you give me some formats that you have seen before that work i.e. a lesson 1 followed by a tourney and then a lesson start time etc finish times ?

CLYDE AND THE TRUCK ACCIDENT An old farmer named Clyde had a car accident. In court, the trucking company's fancy lawyer was questioning Clyde. "Didn't you say at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine,'?" asked the lawyer. Clyde responded, "Well, I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favorite mule, Bessie, into the......" "I didn't ask for any details," the lawyer interrupted. "Just answer the question. Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, "I'm fine!'?" Clyde said, "Well, I had just got Bessie into the trailer and was driving down the road...." The lawyer interrupted again and said, "Judge, I am trying to establish the fact that at the scene of the accident, this man told the highway patrolman on the scene that he was just fine. Now several weeks after the accident he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question." By this time, the Judge was fairly interested in Clyde's answer and said to the lawyer, "I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favorite mule, Bessie." Clyde thanked the Judge and proceeded, "Well... As I was sayin', I had just loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into the trailer and was drivin' her down the highway when this huge semi ran the stop sign and smacked my truck right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch & gt; and Bessie was thrown into the other. I was hurtin' real bad and didn't want to move. However, I could hear ole Bessie moanin' and groanin'. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans. Real soon a highway patrolman came on the scene. He could hear Bessie moanin' and groanin', too. So, he went over to her. After he looked at her, he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes. Then the patrolman came across the road, gun in hand, looked at me, and said, 'How are YOU feeling?' "Now what would you say?"

One day, a man came home and was greeted by his wife dressed in a very sexy nightie. "Tie me up," she purred, "and you can do anything you want." So he tied her up and went golfing. A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband. Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen. "Careful," he said, "CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh my GOD! You're cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter. Oh my GOD! WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER? They're going to STICK! Careful....CAREFUL! I said be CAREFUL! You NEVER listen to me when you're cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! Are you CRAZY? Have you LOST your mind? Don't forget to salt them. You know you always forget to salt them. Use the salt. USE THE SALT! THE SALT!" The wife stared at him. "What in the world is wrong with you? You think I don't know how to fry a couple of eggs?" The husband calmly replied, "I wanted to show you what it feels like when I 'm driving."

bidding goes 1 major and you hold 17+ hcp and a mediocre 5 minor card suit (two of top 3 honours) and axx of bid major when is it appropriate to double then bid the suit and when is it worth understating the hand and just bidding the suit I just want some guide lines as to what rules there maybe to follow

Q/. what do you call a man in a swimming pool with no arms and no legs? A/. Bob? Two Homosexuals on a Cruise ship, first homosexual falls in the sea and the second homosexual raises the alarm, first homosexual shouts "HELP, HELP, HELP SAVE ME" The second homosexual shouts back "HANG ON I WILL THROW YOU A BOUY" the first homosexual shouts back "I HAVEN'T GOT TIME FOR THAT I AM DROWNING"

sayc I bid 2 clubs forcing 1 round so it seems safest option 2/1 I bid 1NT force then probably bid after 2C or 2D 3spades next then after 2 Spade resonse I would bid 4 spades

I would bid 4 spades after the 3 heart bid I think north at fault pard void in hearts and I have a singleton,

no the problem is I am just unsre whether to bid 3nt direct or not thats all, I think I have come across that hand (well sort of the same) about 3 or 4 times and I am curious about the best way to tackle it

Ben excuse my ignorance here, could that not be construed as a singleton or a void?? I dont play kickback or anything fancy

♠ KQx ♥ KQx ♦ KQJx ♣ KQJ This is a balaced hand with 22-23 HCP. But you have the K clubs in your hand, how can you construct a hand that does not have the 4 keys covered?

Happy to be where we are, but a thought came into my mind (a strange occourance for those of you that know me) here is the hand 2 Club 4 loser hand 2 Diamond waiting 2NT 22-23 balanced 3 Spades Minor suit stayman (Thx bobh for teaching me that) 4 Diamonds 4 card diamond suit 4NT 1403 [hv=d=e&v=n&n=sk3htda9764ck8752&w=st72hj86543d8cq93&e=sq964h972dj52cjt6&s=saj85hakqdkqt3ca4]399|300|Scoring: IMP[/hv] West North East South - - Pass 2♣ Pass 2♦ Pass 2NT Pass 3♠ Pass 4♦ Pass 4NT Pass 5♣ Pass 7♦ Pass Pass Pass my first question is missing the Q Diamonds how do you proceed over the 5 clubs here are my thoughts and I would like to know what you think of them 2/. 4NT bidder must have 1!A so we have all keycards 3/. bidding 5 Diamonds must be Q ask???? 4/. it is not reasonable for p to pass 5 Diamonds after that auction?
