And, as said, he's quite a character, our Stef (got told off for swearing last time I watched him play - well, not really told off, as such, the tournament referee handled it really well, just saying quite loudly, 'could you tone it down a bit, Stef?' and he laughed and did indeed tone it down a bit - well, toned down the language, still quite high on the am-dram, but hey )
