Yeah, Sean'd get it right.

We've had this discussion in re "The Wendy coup" where the player pulls the 
bid and spends the next 10 seconds looking at Wendy's legs (I would anyway). 
He then notices it's not the call he intended to make and his partner has 
not yet called. This is SO obviously L25A territory, i don't know why we're 
discussing it.  John
