Default [Dixonary] Round 2942 Results: Haverhill Fever

As i compile this on a small phone, and editing is maddening to a
health-threatening degree, i will skip a few cosmetics.

Debbie (sorry, i can't find your full name at present) you take the next
deal with your 5 asterisk'd points!

Real Winnah is Tony Abell, with 4 natch. D1 with only one DQ is probably a
personal best for me.

I may not submit bluffs until i get the use of a proper PC or at least
tablet. This sprained my brain!

I'm assuming it was Johnny Barrs who was DQ, although from the scores, it could have been Tim Bourne.

You know what they say: when you "Assume" - you're absolutely correct.
