Every time I leave something to the ordinary members, it goes wrong. Even announcing the right date for next meeting is too difficult... Tsk.

Tony, if you say so! I was born with the ability to delegate - the problem is the less talented people I unfortunately have to delegate things to. Can I hire you to do the PR for our exclusive little club?

RE msg 7, Guido: (...) that will cost you an extra loss on our next meeting mister chairman. (...)

=> Don't threaten me, amigo. You seem to forget that we had a draw two weeks ago, so the score is only 21 - 1,5. I'm a modest man so I leave it up to the bright readers of this board to decide which name belongs where in the score...

msg 6 doesn't make sense Hans, you may be born to delegate (those that can, do, those that can't, delegate)

the skill comes in recognising the capabilities of the underling you delegate to, and accepting the blame for the mistakes he/she makes.

Tony

ps I'm retired now, have been for some time, but believe me, you could not afford my time, even if I gave it away.

RE msg 1, minertor: Your help (words in a post) is once more much appreciated. I found out in other cases also that this kind of help is available in the expat community day and night.
