Petrol prices are so high that I went to the car dealership and test-drove 3 cars to run my errands.

My partner's bridge playing
My partner's bridge playing

My partner’s bridge playing is like modern art—Confusing, bold and open to interpretation.

Due to the ridiculous fuel prices, I will no longer be stopping at stop signs or red lights. I can’t afford to idle.

Thank you for  your understanding and stay safe!

ETIQUETTE & MANNERS AT THE BRIDGE TABLE

ETIQUETTE & MANNERS AT THE BRIDGE TABLE

Above all, avoid any behaviour that would make anyone (especially beginners or new members) feel uncomfortable.

Do greet your opponents at the table and treat them with respect and courtesy.

Do not indulge in post-mortems with your partner directly after a hand is finished. (Save it for after the game.) Not only could a post-mortem undermine partnership confidence, but it may communicate information to other players who have not played the hand at other tables.

Do not criticise partner. (Keep it to yourself until after the game. You will have cooled down by then.)...And you may also have figured out that you share some of the blame.

Do compliment your opponents for fine bidding or play. (Especially beginners)

Do not gloat! (It is ugly) Be modest.

 Do say 'Director Please' in a pleasant tone. Keep your hand up so that the Director can quickly determine who called.

Do support your partner at all times.
