I became completely addicted to it
it's a different game every single time
I played all night
an endless learning curve
so many different people from so many different walks of life
I always say I was born with a pack of cards in my hand
yeah
apparently Claudia Winkleman is a very big bridge player
I can play a game if you're listening to this Cordia
I love a game
12 hours of bridge
only 12
you just made me a better loser because I've
I've lost a lot of times
but he said Jonathan
I'm kicking you off the chess team
I'm sorry and I said why
why are you kicking me off
he said well
you spend too long in the bridge club
I think we should stop having a go at chess at this point
it's a good game
and so building my confidence at the bridge table
has definitely translated into building my confidence
in the workplace
or giving them that missing piece of the puzzle that
you know they needed to
to strengthen the connection with my dad
through playing bridge online has been incredible
very applicable to everything in life
you know we all speak the same language
in bridge
first time we played we came second and I won two quid
I think your personality can change
when you get to sit at a bridge table
it does show you how much
you know the human mind really can cave under pressure
so I like to have multiple partners in a bridge sense
yeah um
because doctors I played with
teachers I played with accountants
people in their 90s
a bit of a billionaire
you can do it all over the world
and just someone I can have a laugh with at the table
is probably the most important thing
cause there's always the chance that you'll do the right thing
at the right time yeah
