Scuttlebutt from Peter Pan and Wendy

From Congress:  On arrival at the Mt Manganui Club quiz night, a certain non-WBC member’s hubby, who recently moved to Paihia, bumped into Wendy. Ever the gentleman, he offered to assist with the carriage of the drinks order. Wendy, clearly not happy, voiced doubt on his waitering skills. Not an issue for him, his instantaneous answer was "not likely, I’m carrying wine!!"

Random comment on quiz night. Noted by Peter after winning: "this is as much fun as you can have with your clothes on" … really?!

From the Club:  Thursday Teams - A certain grand master accused his partner of being lazy for 12 hands. 'Very hard to to be declarer when you have no points in your hand' was the dejected response.

Peter played a 3NT contract as if he was in spades, I ask you! Thankfully he made 4. When Peter asked Wendy why she didn't put the contract into spades, “Well you opened the gambling 3 NT was the reply”. The retort from Peter -  “what are you talking about, you opened 1 Spade and I replied 3NT, telling you I had 3 spades and an opening hand!"

Six spades was on! Peter may forgive Wendy next year! Fortunately our astute partners managed to fox the opposition into thinking incorrectly where the Q clubs was, going down in slam.

Why do we play this game?
