          Yasha was absolutely great. A superb presentation (and, in case anyone was wondering, it wasn't too deep to understand and he certainly doesn't believe any of the nonsense put about over the last few decades) and he tolerated a barrage from de Locksley with gentlemanly conduct.

          The photo de Locksley showed of his Masonic meeting is a true classic and I shall never forget it. Needless to say, it included one of his friends in a wizard's costume with pointy hat and moons and stars all over his cloak. Seriously.

                One of the highlights was when raffle ticket number 666 came out of the hat and was claimed by - you guessed it - de Lockedup. What a card that man is - four of clubs probably, the devil's bedposts.

                And yes, Yasha is a terrific speaker and really nice bloke - and a bridge player to boot. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the game as my parents met at a bridge club in the 1940s.

                Love,

                Caz

                  Caz, I'm glad your parents found a fit in hearts.

                  Couples who partner each other can get a bit - um - argumentative, though.

                    You can say that again, Robert. While my parents rarely had a cross word with each other, on or off the card table (my father liked a quiet life ), my first hubby gave me a black eye once for playing the wrong card during a game of bridge with friends - and I didn't give him the chance to do it a second time.

                    Love,

                    Caz

                      Blimey, Caz, my commiserations. Apart from its being cruel, I'm sure there must be some rule that prohibits thumping one's partner.

                        I think it's called one-no-thumps, Robert.

                        Love,
