If you are allergic to wasp stings, may I give you a word of advice? Keep away from them! Don’t hang around. Don’t flap your arms. Just leave the vicinity quickly and quietly. I wish I had shared these words of wisdom with Artur, my partner in Patrick Jourdain’s highly enjoyable Welsh Invitational Pairs last weekend, before he got stung and had to rush himself to hospital for an injection! The valiant Mike Hirst stepped in as substitute. Thanks, Mike!
My teammates, David Burn and Nick Sandqvist, won the event for the second year running — the first time the double has been achieved. Nick claims that David was red-hot the whole weekend, and offered me this piece of inspirational play from the vastly experienced Burn.
When Mike and I played this hand, sitting E/W, South ended up in 3♠.
