Is Bridge a sport? The court must decide.

I say no.

I'd say that rifle shooting does involve physical activity as to aim properly you need to be able to control your body and breathing as you concentrate.

A sport, for me, is something that requires an element of physical skill (be that sum, steadiness, speed, strength,,etc.

So: darts, bowling, baseball - sports.

Chess, bridge, my little pony - not sports.

That's as concise a definition I've heard that works for me, though it would seem to include tiddlywinks and buckaroo as sports.

No, Snap is pure mental stamina and grit determination. You clearly have been playing snap against weak opposition.

At the cottage: I bet you shots (of Ribena).

Yeah, played by people who are no better than they think they are. It's just whist with delusions of grandeur.

Come the revolution, Bridge players will be the first up against the wall.

In "out of the blue! Shock!" News now:

I have just discovered that fewer depots ordering things means fewer things get ordered! And I have proof!

Now I have to simplify that for sales people.

I get paid for this sort of insight. Adds value , I do.

How odd, I don't have a text cursor (windows 10, firefox 40.0.3) now I have found out what version I have, I have a cursor again.

Remember the War Z, which was basically a DayZ ripoff? Well they've re-released it as 'Romero's Aftermath'. Great, you think, one the greatest horror movie directors of all time is involved, might be better this time. No, George C Romero, his son (otherwise known as Cameron Romero). Brazen.

The Child has been bitten at nursery. Again. Her nose, this time, and enough to draw blood. We'll be having a chat this afternoon as to what the nursery proposes to do about it.

Fairly sure. Although this is the fourth time it has happened. To avoid doubt, we even asked it if was The Child sticking her fingers into other children's mouths. Oh the joys of all this.
