Most of us know about and may indeed have experienced ‘road rage’. Personally I think it has little to do with the particular moment but rather more about something that is going on in the angry person’s life. However, not many of you will have come across my concept of ‘bridge rage’. First you have to be a bridge player, second you may need to be addicted or nearly so, and thirdly you are probably an impatient partner. So what is going on with your life (my life) which makes us lose our cool at the bridge table?
No doubt your/my partner has made a stupid bid or has not followed a signal or has failed to make a cold slam. The more one is addicted, the more likely it is that one will lose one’s cool at some point or other.
So maybe it is much better to be addicted to Cadbury’s Flake which is what I am. We have a wine cupboard in which a store of Flake is kept. There is no doubt that they taste better when they are kept in a cooler spot. If you are not already doing so, may I recommend you to follow my guidelines. I am, after all, an addicted expert on Flake. But what is it about Flake that has caused me to be addicted? I think the Cadbury line is ‘Only the crumbliest flakiest chocolate tastes like chocolate has never tasted before’. But the real point is to go online and view the advertisements!
