MORE QUOTES ( MAINLY ANONYMOUS ) ON BRIDGE.....
..... ( Research by Pun )


  • The thing about bridge , like any other sport , is that swearing is very much part of it
  • Bridge is nothing more than a ritualised form of non-physical combat : if that weren't the case , it wouldn't be the game it is
  • I thought bridge players were all sportsmen and totally honest : how wrong can one be ?
  • Bridge is a game where all players can't believe what is happening to them
  • As the non-playing captain of a bridge team no one can accuse me of dropping players : I simply make changes
  • Bridge is the only gaming sport I know where young , ruthless , predatory men can legitimately hunt down and slaughter defenceless little old ladies
  • I remain of the opinion that there is no game from bridge to cricket that is not improved by a little light conversation : a view which is shared only by a small and unjustly despised minority (Osbert Lancaster )
  • One of the chief duties of a bridge player is to engage in arguments with partners and opponents alike. This department of  the game is unfortunately the one which is most talked about and reported.
  • Bridge players never lose to superior players : poor results are the consequences of coming up against cheats and " being robbed "
  • Personally , I have always looked upon bridge as organised loafing ( Howard Bigot-Johnson )
  • Bridge players with big inflated egos , who love to stand tall, will always come down to my height as soon as they sit down at the table
  • The uglier a player's personality is , the meaner he/she is at bridge table : it's an irrefutable fact 
  • No one is more sensitive about his/her game than the weekend duplicate bridge player
  • If a bridge player is described as a " real sportsman " , then he is likely to be a desperately over-sexed , testosterone-fuelled hedonist ,   who makes it his mission in life to take newly acquired female partners to late night parties and bacchanalian orgies
