Finch Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 A bit of culture needed here, I think.Not quite the name of a conventions, and very non-PC, but "Cosi fan tutte" = The wife's gone off in another cold game, but in this mixed pairs event it's an average"Die forelle Quintette" = A table of 4 LOLs plus spectator"Erbarme Dich" = oh no, she's declarer again, followed byHaydn symphony no. 94, slow movement: "She's made it!" maybe I'd better stop before I get too carried away here...

The whole The smiths first album is about a 75%+ slam were you didnt find 2 queens and you're knock out of the world championship. Reel around the fountain--- Round of bidding is coming to an end You've got everything now --- 4 Aces 2nd round controls everywhere easy slam to bid miserable lie--- hehe it didnt make pretty girls make graves ---you failed to find 2 queens. The hand that rocks the cradle --- you lost the match because of that 1. This charming man --- partner sympathizing with your bad luck. Still ill --- Yep we know the feeling Hand in glove --- If only you could have seen the the hands. What difference does it make ? enough IMPS to lose the match I don't owe you anything --- God answer when you asked why he didnt give you hints to find at least 1 Queen . Suffer little children ---- Those who beaten you goes to play agains Meckwell & friends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas43 Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 Used to play Vienna Club in the 1980's and couldn't stop humming (not during play) "This means nothing to me, this means nothing to me, oh Vienna...di-di di-di" A few years ago was lucky enough to see Midge Ure do the song live (just him and a guitar, doing all the fades by just turning his head away from the mic. remarkable) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
