SLAUGHTER HOUSE BRIDGE CLUB GUINNESS BOOK RECORD No.2......

The Longest Ever Bar Room Slanging match

In April 2010 Gordon " Gobby " Mycroft came down to the bar with his partner , Barney " Big Mouth " Proctor remonstrating about their shameful and embarrassing scorecard . Each was full of recriminations about the other over the horrendous bottoms , and well below average scores , they had racked up during the evening's debacle. 
As the arguments and accusations descended into a tirade of venomous insults and unrepeatable aspersions , the slanging match went on for over an hour and 40 minutes inside the bar , and then for another four hours outside the club , before the police were finally called to restore peace and tranquillity to the neighbourhood.
In all over 4000 highly defamatory insults were exchanged , many of which deviated away from their shortcomings and failings at bridge , steering towards their sexual inadequacies, physical deformities and psychological disorders. Inevitably , their family , friends , and lifestyle habits also came under the spotlight for another avalanche of derisory snubs and mocking contempt. With every avenue of attack skilfully used  , each had tried in vain to find ways of cutting the other down with barbed comments , insulting remarks and devastating accusations
The slanging match , of course , ended in an ignoble draw, two arrests and two hefty fines.
