4) I have mentioned it before, and only Jilly was interested in my sending them to her.


Yes, thank you very much. I have had much the same response, only 1 club was interested in the material.
As far as I know the material has not been disseminated amongst the players.

For the record, this isn't me simply pushing my own barrow. I joined my local unit board and was
given the role of Membership & Education. I guess that allows me to officailly push my own barrow :)

The problem is that there is very little practical difference between "trying to deceive declarer and playing slowly" (thinking about falsecarding) and "trying to deceive declarer by playing slowly" (undisputably illegal).

True. But the Laws are interested in playing slowly in tempo sensitive situations without worrying abut whether the player is trying to do anything.

I never saw your previous offer -- I would be pleased if you would send your class to me.

Ditto - both parts.

In Stranger in a Strange Land, Robert Heinlein proposed the concept of the Fair Witness — a person trained to give testimony only to facts he or she has observed. He demonstrates the concept by having one of his characters, Jubal Harshaw, ask one of his secretaries, Ann, who happens to be a Fair Witness, "what color is that house on the hill?" She looks up at it and says "it's white on this side". B-)

Ian Stewart in The Concepts of Modern Mathematics:
[...]In Scotland there is at least one field on which there is at least one sheep that is black on at least one side!

(My quotation is from Simon Singh: Fermat's last theorem)

Thanks for that pran! I heard this at university and thought it was original. I do notice they changed astronomer to engineer though (the maths department had a long-running rivalry with the engineering department so it makes sense).
