;) Helen I rather suspect that they would recieve backing from the Eoropean Union Courts in Strasbourg for going against 'their' Human rights :)

Need help adjusting? No problem. I turned fifty-twenty this year. I regard this as the mid-fifties. In ten years when I am (with luck) fifty-thirty, I will accept that I have reached the late fifties. As to the original problem: Age is more multiplicative than additive. That is, the difference between being 5 and being 10 more closely resembles the difference between 20 and 40 (twice 20) than between 20 and 25 (five more than 20). If you accept this multiplicative feature then the midpoint between 20 and 30 is ten times the square root of six. But I assume the real bet was that you could get forum posters to argue about whether or not 27 is mid-twenties. It appears that you have won! :D Thanks ken can I be 20 40 and will it help me pull the young birds :( :(

;) Wish I could have reason to care whether I was Early/Mid/or Late 20's But I can hope Actually late 60's anyone got a cure :lol:

:huh: More to the point do the Pirates have jurisdiction in international waters??? Lesser of 2 evils :angry:

:) I think under British Law it is still on the statutes to HANG Pirates from the Yardarm :D Seriously though why don't ALL sea going Vessels Tankers/Cruise Ships carry Armaments and just Blow the Barstards out of the Water :)

:rolleyes: hi Here in Blighty we tend to assign Teams at 2 Tables of the Same Number but Different Colour then N/S are at 1 and their E/W at the other. The opposing team being in the Opposite positions of course. Dependant on size of Field/s We use Red/White Green/Blue Yellow/Black Orange/Purple Yes we do have Large events up to 150 Tables at Brighton All Boards ARE preduplicated for ALL sessions even though we tend to have operators on site Duplimating for later sessions As Frances states we pass Boards To North in 1st Row to south in 2nd row and onwards unless concentric loops then boards come out at Table 1 Hope it Hepls :rolleyes:

:) the MI if there is/was any was in North's explanation to the opps that it showed both majors surely ; East does not have to consult the convention card he has been told the meaning; however North has not played to the system card :(

:o is the north explanation of the bid they made not relevant here ??? Surely North has mis-informed Opponents about the bid, then either north has Deliberately misbid but then told opps what the bid meant effectively giving mis-information to opps before the opening lead; or has phsyced this bid deliberately knowing that East in this instance will NOT now lead a Major suit ;)
