For those members who are playing regularly on BBO and have become frustrated with not being able to UNDO a bid or a card play please check out the article under Bridge Base Online>Misclicks. This may help you avoid making the wrong bid or playing the wrong card

Some new ones....

After laying down the cards in dummy declarer says to partner 'Where is the hand you held during the bidding?'  .... Think we've all been there!

Heard recently  ... 'Your play gets worse day by day but today you are playing like it is tomorrow!

Also.. 4H is an excellent bid partner but not on that hand

Lastly.. when partner asks how he should have played the hand the reply was 'Under an assumed name'
