Richie... are you the reason that screens are now bullet-proof? :P B) :)

Somehow I think Richie is only half-kidding. :lol: B)

 

(Why is it when I picture what Richie looks like, I think of Hyman Roth in the Godfather Part II)?? :)

My secret to playing well with Robyn when in Slovakia was to smile very sweetly at her and make some sort of joke about what a stupid game bridge was.

 

She now says that she really enjoys playing with me. I guess that's progress B)

You never smiled sweetly at me :P

I have a reply to his, but it is somewhat politically incorrect... :lol:

speak, speak... political correctness is a tired concept anyway

The promise of a beer after the session always seems to make partner play well. This is why I always add points to my hand if I have the 7 (beer card) and partner will be declaring, since I expect a magnificent effort from partner in attempting to score the beer!

 

Unfortunately the requisite mental energy sometimes detracts from partner's play on non-beer hands, and I don't have the money (nor do many of my partners have the alcohol tolerance) for me to offer a beer for every contract partner plays or defends well. :lol:
