As I suspect you know, there isn't a magic, fast way of suddenly becoming a great defender. One thing I'll add to the advice already here is to try playing just teams rather than match pointed events. At teams, your job on defence is to beat the contract whenever that is possible, which both helps to concentrate your mind on the task and simplifies the task itself.

vwd indeed Burn. In BBO commentary, I did note that the tournament was displayed in many places as "Lady Milne Limerick" and tried to start a competition. However, only Jim Hay took the lure and we both agreed our attempt was awful. Well, he said my last line was awful and I'm sure that comes to the same thing.
