...and my pet peeve. Maybe it's just me, but the biggest rows I have with my partners are when they absolutely won't admit they were wrong. Even when team-mates, all experts consulted, everyone and their pet cat says they were wrong, they will just refuse to discuss it any more....

2. Never tell anyone else of partner's mistakes


I disagree with this one. The teams events I enjoy most (though actually not my most successful teams) are when I am playing with one particular good friend & regular partner, and scoring up with my husband and his partner. Our partnerships stay sweet and harmonious because my husband & I can moan to each other about our partners' absurdities without anyone else knowing.

Ok, Frances... I admit that I didn't think this through... but would you still tell Jeffrey about partner's mistakes if you knew that Jeffrey would go tell all of your friends? I meant, don't spread it around... and very few people other than spouses will keep that level of confidence. Debbie is the only third party to whom I moan about my partners .. because I know that she keeps it to herself.
