Marge “Which part of the morning paper are you reading Homer?”

Homer “The bridge column [laughing] Oh, that South you never know what he’ll do next”.

Certainly not Homer Simpson, but different
people and ages are hooked by bridge, and it is
a rapidly growing pastime with ever more
individuals enjoying what the game has to offer.

In these days of electronic entertainment,
including DVDs, iPods and the Xbox, more and
more people are returning to board and card
games as families see the value of learning and
playing together in a more social, interactive
environment.

Many couples attend classes together, because
bridge is a great inexpensive activity and it’s a
wonderful way to make new acquaintances.

Finally, bridge is prominent throughout the
celebrity and political world: from Bill Gates to
Winston Churchill, and Omar Sharif to Damon
Albarn! Sharif is quoted as stating that, “Acting is
my living, but bridge is my passion.”
