Championship Diary

When England met USA II on VuGraph in the Bermuda Bowl they took a 10 IMP lead on the first board. As board 4 was being completed Jean-Paul Meyer commented that it had taken USA II no time at all to take the lead (the score was about to become 10-18). Perhaps he had failed to notice that one hour of the match had already elapsed!

If you hear Tacchi sneezing you can be sure he has been overindulgent the night before!

The first person to produce a list of guests at the VuGraph commentators ball is England Captain Alan Mould. Unfortunately Count Squeeze is unable to attend at all, but his wife is here, a Squeeze without the count.

She has also brought along her twin sons, a double squeeze and her daughter who is an 'exotic dancer', strip squeeze.

Mr. & Mrs Transfer are here, with their son Jacoby. They have also brought their American cousin, Texas. The cousin lived in Johannesburg for many years and is now called South African Texas.

Mr. & Mrs Club have bought their young daughter, short club, their boy scout son, prepared club, their body builder son strong club, their Italian relation, Neapolitan Club, and their Alaskan cousin blue club.

Mr. & Mrs. Major have brought their son, little Major.

Mr. & Mrs. Sykes have bought their son Ferdinand Sykes, who can be a lot of fun.
