AS BRIDGE PLAYERS YOU KNOW YOU'RE OVER THE HILL WHEN........
- You find club members laughing at you..... rather than with you
- Your only chance of getting a semi-decent partner is to rely on the stand-by system
- Dreaming about becoming a good player has become a real embarrassment
- It becomes necessary to sit on comfortable seats..... with pads on
- In the interests of your physical health, another 3 hours of sitting down becomes eminently sensible
- You fail to appreciate the fact that " pacing yourself " has turned you into the club's slowest player
- Opponents stare at you as you play the cards.....but never in a complimentary or good way
- Looking for your name on the results list is a lot quicker if you start from the bottom upwards
- The only time you now pull off a successful squeeze is if you can get into trousers you bought 3 years ago
- Table talk about " master strokes " and " heart attacks " makes you feel distinctly uncomfortable
