NEIL AGAIN ....paying homage to the revelations of the incredible Dr.John Yes, it's me again standing in for the absent Dr. John, who is still camped out at the bottom of his garden. His last message to me was to tell you folk out there about FEMORAL HYPOPLASIA, which is more commonly known as THE UNUSUAL FACES SYNDROME. This condition, more than any, affects large numbers of bridge players, who cannot stop themselves adopting unusual, bizarre and distorted facial expressions during the course of a game. In most cases the victim's subconscious has taken over, whereupon the urge to pull an unusual face becomes unstoppable. Suddenly, after a particular bid or play of the card by their partner, the victim will instinctively adopt a facial expression that mirrors his secret thoughts. Inevitably, an astute and observant partner might decipher what all these different facial expressions mean. Clearly, in the majority of instances they carry messages of disapproval, but whatever facial expressions have been adopted, something can always be deduced about the victim's feelings, fears, concerns and needs at those moments in time.
