  1. For the upcoming holiday season, i intend to publish an expose of our celebrated water cooler coleagues. The headlines are ready but, I need you all to fill in the blanks: 1. People magazine's worst 'Sexiest Man' : ____________ This onetime heartthrob has lost his luster because of bad behavior. 2. Primetime in No Time: Embarrassing pic makes ________ cringe 3. ______________ Stuns in Red Dress 4. ______________ May be facing mid-life crisis 5. Boycotts against ____________ gain steam.
  2. i was readung aboyt thus social network. i think at the moment the only soical netwitk i belong to is BBO. i was a part of some networks before, but after a while the stuff is meaningless, there is only so many friends one can have. (At least at bbo you can pass the time with the 'friends' playing or discussing one of the 53 billion deals) What amused me in this article was google's and facebook requirement og a real "Name"n since at BBo i have played bridge with Che Guevara and Omar Sharyff. Can I join facebook as John Smith? that is a real name, tho not my own.
  3. toy dont need to cook avocado will be ok thus us how it is done My link it is fattening
  4. I cant stand it. The boss went on the radio to invite members of the public to an event. "There will be a very safe atmosphere. There will be clothed policemen on the grounds and alos underclothes policemen" ( one only hopes the underclothes ones are not the fat ones!!!)
  5. the simple solution is not to plau those games anymore i played briefly at a bbo club where they imposed penalyies for slow play, and the opps would collaborate to eject me, brieflu, brielfy, no more.

  9. Fred has said on occasion whne he has no plans to implement a request
  10. So I have this freshly promoted boss. It was a long-awaited promotion, but the individual never impressed me as being very eloquent in public situations. And now, it is evident that the grammar of office memos is just apalling, horrendous, including semantic mistakes which should not be present in an eduacted native speaker of English. I thought of sending an email to abuse, but the boss does not play bridge. Since i cannot tell anybody I have to post here. PS I am a non native speaker, i have an excuse.
  11. there is a curmudgeon expert at bbo who is always host of his table. those who have been there will know he likes to use the word rubish: "partner is rubish", "opp is rubish", and boots anyone he does not agree with. I exacted revenge by managing to join his table as his partner and witness a most ridiculous declarer play after a cunning bid. I then pointed out to him the only way to lose was to play like an expert. He announced he was putting me on enemy list. Great, i cant join his table anymore but i got the chance to demonstrate to him he was an idiot. I have a no play category in addition to the enemy category so i just watch the colors on the interesting table area or the partnership desk.
  12. we need a commission of inquiry to look into these alegations
  13. i like the fifth chair foundation http://www.fifthchair.org/
  14. Speaking of the run-of-the mill 5 card major, I never understand the "1♦ is 4" requirement which some players use. In fact the only pattern that would not meet this requirement is 4-4-3-2, on which I open 1 ♦. Big deal if the guy responds 2 ♦ on 4, I can play with 7 trumps at the 2 level, if the guy is responding a weak 2♦, I was not exactlyu going to take that deal to the prom. I dont care for opening 1 club on 2 only, especially on 12-14 hands where I may land on 1nt with my netherlands exposed. The players who like this 1 club on 2 trumps things are probably people who even in their old age refuse to run with scissors. But, I digress, what i really would like to ask whether there are, or have been in the past, prominent bridge authors or champions who advocate this approach, and whether there are good logical reasons for one to play it? Any thoughts?
  15. many a truth is said in jest i recall a while ago slothy dispensing advice to a married fella to get some ear plugs now affected by hearing loss i find that cacophony disorients me, would not be so bad if the garroulous were not constantly around me hearing aids are just as useful as ear plugs, sometimes i dont want to listen thanks slothy, saved me alot of money on shrink bills
  16. because the bidding went pass by me- 1 spade by opp- dbl by partner- 3sapdes by opp pass by me- pass by opp- dbl by partner-- all pass i jach fifth spades, i apssed, he said i was an idiot this game is not for me
