I was not really close at all. I was guessing that this was one of those situations where one person thought he was trying to sign off and the other thought he was making a slam try.

I guess 7NT, played your way, is a better contract. But anyway, it was, as you say, just for laughs as indy hands often are so enough said.

I agree with only 1 bid in this auction... 1♦

I'd probably agree with the double but double isn't a bid. :)

hand played on an individual event, meaning this is the first time you meet your partner and he can be of any skill

More importantly, he'll be gone in another hand or two, so you don't have to put up with his shenanigans for very long.
