It was raining outside and with the Acol Club empty I thought I'd watch the 'experts' playing in the 'Main' Club. The bidding went 1♦ 1♥ 2♦ 2♥ 3♦ 3♥ 4♦ 5♦. . of course it went off and the abuse commenced, in Turkish, albeit that one had a Spanish flag and it continued for the next 3 or 4 hands (I put it through an on-line translator (it was raining outside)) and it went along the lines of . ."you call yourself a teacher, I hope it's not Bridge you're teaching, IDIOT" Eventually one of the 'Experts' left the table and then a kibitzer with a British flag appeared hurling abuse in capitals (in broken English) at Expert 2. Expert 2 kept on through several new partners as the kibitzers repeated "BOOT BOOT 'name'" and other abuse over and over. I left for to get a cup of tea and the headache tablets!

I had wondered why people who don't play Acol played in the Acol room - I think I may have the answer!

I want my opponents to leave my table with a smile on their face and without matchpoints on their score card - in that order.
The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds the new discoveries, is not “Eureka!” (I found it!), but “That’s funny…” – Isaac Asimov
The only reason God did not put "Thou shalt mind thine own business" in the Ten Commandments was that He thought that it was too obvious to need stating. - Kenberg
