defeat felt game mind state
It had nothing to do with Graeme. It was just the way I played, the way I approached the game and the state of mind I was in. I have never felt as down after that defeat as I did then.

I thought we were fine but apparently it was one British holidaymaker who complained to the crew. That was the reason why the captain thought we should be taken off the flight. It's perfectly reasonable for him to be thinking about the safety of his passengers but I couldn't see any problem.

I'd be surprised if I got my money back.
