REBECCA ROOD'S MAILBAG.............................................................................

• Dear Rebecca, Since reading Howard Bigot-Johnson's blog I have come to the conclusion that this bloody-minded bigot has only brought his big balls to bridge blogging, managing only to baffle peoples' brains with bucolic buckshot buckshee! Moreover, the mere thought of this man mouthing off even more madcap drivel might well bring down mountains of misfortune upon all those, who are misguided enough to read it. If you cannot cancel out the controversial crap that this cretin cluelessly creates, then who can I turn to? Please crack this c*** over his cranium with a killing cudgel. Yours usefully Ustinov
• Dear U, Take it from me that Howard Bigot-Johnson is a living legend. Much of what he has to say you must take with a pinch of salt. His blog, plus his contributions, were never aimed to please you.....but the thousands of people out there who enjoy looking at both the lighter and darker side of bridge. My advice to U is visit other bridge blogs ( most of which are packed with useful, interesting and entertaining material ).......or get a life ! Bigot-Johnson may be an impatient, intolerant, out-spoken, and outrageous hypocrite but I love him. Yours, find your own killing cudgel, Rebecca.
