Life is to complicated for me regardless. :lol:

[hv=d=s&v=n&s=s3hakqj972d1096caj]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] 2♣ - (Pass) - 2♦ - 4♠ Pass* - (Pass) - X* - Pass 5♥? * = Substantial huddles. 2♣ = GF or 22+ bal. 2♦ = 0-1 control. (Aces = 2, kings = 1) EW summons TD. 5♥ was -1, but 4♠(X) = 10 TD inquires about NS bids and agreements. North said the first double was made as the auction was forcing. South claimed that North double was for take-out, they cannot double for penalty, once South has passed 4♠. NS couldn't explain what the difference would be betweem a direct 5♥ and a pass and pull. He mentioned that partner might pass. NS brought system notes. On paragraph of interest said: "General agreements about T/O-doubles" which stated:"We play T/O doubles almost everywhere". Another paragraph: "When we have forced to game, like 4M, passes are forcing, typically warning or with lenght in opponents suit." South claimed that the first paragraph was obviously the one in effect here, as the second referred to auctions with fit. Your ruling? Edit: Level of players: At the level where it is certain that the concept of forcing pass is known, but that the claim of no agreement about the pass-pull is plausible.

Abby looks good, let me get in touch.

we have talked about the real football :P If it's "real" football, how come the goalie gets to use his hands? What americans call football, is a sissy's game. - Everybody is covered with extensive padding. (Wouldn't want to feel any pain at all.) - Everytime anyone has run 10 yeards, everyone stops to catch their breath. - If you are to clumsy to hold on to the ball, you get three more tries. No, take a point blank hard-shot soccer ball directly into you balls, just to have your team lose with three goals instead of four, then we might discuss it. I see you need to go outside your house into your yard. Move to a point about 10 meters from your house, turn and face the house. Now as fast as you can run towards your house while lowering your head and shoulders. Under no conditions stop until you hit the house. You have now learned how to tackle in American football. Oh wait!!! we forgot to tell you to put on your pads and helmet :) Well, if it was an average american house, I'd topple it. A North-European house however, I might ask for some padding.

Much would be achieved, if some commentators could only see two hands. If Roland asks me to comment again I'll try it. (Duct tape.)

North 100% for forcing an obviously mental person to play bridge with him.

2♠. I'll leave partner hanging in the expected 3♣. If I bid 2♠, what is partners 2NT? Could it be used to show 5-5, or maybe a Max. hand?

Kinda' sums it up.

5♥ is silly. Since East somehow forgot to double 2NT, 4♣ would have been a nice try to get the message across.

At MP's the ♠T is standout. At IMP's I just lead it.

The James Caan way, not that sissy remake.

No.

Very proper way you desribe it though.

not really no matter how high you are at 3 am :) I am not even going to try and discuss what the word fat means at 3 am...i am too old. Well, it was morning here, when I wrote it, a good time for bacon. But then anytime is good for bacon.

It is high time, bacon is recognized as a vegetable.

A fitting number of NT's, rightsiding what is 90%+ likely to be the final denomination.

Miss the option: "Reluctant pass" in the poll.

Would overcall. Far too old for one of a major, and marginally too old for 1NT. What remains is left as an exercise for the reader. A more interesting exercise for the reader is figuring out what you think the auction is, as you seem to overlook what else remains. Well, I thought the auction was two passes and 1♦ to me. Could be right to bid four clubs, but not very likely. Partners always seem to think I have something when I bid two clubs. Maybe I should bid three. What do you reckon? Change the ♣8 to the nine, and 3♣ is automatic. But I don't sit around, waiting for the perfect hand, so 3♣ it is.

I assumed it was used with this meaning (From Urban Dictionary): "Clearly one of the greatest adverbs in the English language. Can be used at the start or tacked onto the end of absolutely any - and I mean ANY - sentence for emphasis, adding that extra-special pretentious feeling that one desires in one's speech. Used particularly when the speaker would like to make the person being addressed feel that what is being said is purely common knowledge and that they are utterly retarded for not already knowing it or for disagreeing with it." Clearly, you don't know what the ***** you're talking about. i went up to page 5 out of 27 for definitions of gay and couldn't find that definition. suffice it to say that you do, in fact, have no clue what that word means nor how to use it. Clearly, my post was about the word "Clearly".

Well, I used the word "Gay" in the meaning: Stereotype male homosexual. A meaning that has been in use for centuries. Take the story about Robin Hood and his 200 gay men. They lived in the forest, clad in leather with no women around. They fought with their "sticks", penetrated other men with their arrows and one of their best was Little John, who was in fact "Real Big". Clearly, it can hardly get any more homo-erotic. Now, I am not a homosexual, therefore I don't: - Wear pink. - Eat salads as a main course. - Watch musicals. - Play American football. Thats the good part of not being gay. Furthermore, I don't indulge in casual sex with strangers I meet in parks, parking lots or public restrooms. Thats the bad part of not being gay.

I'm not gay.

Using that argument again?

Then "Descartes Evil Demon" will do the job. Enough silly buzz-words from. Off to bed.

Anyway, the universe was created by The Flying Spaghetti Monster. Common knowledge.
