Hammered

We were well and truely hammered at Pub Quiz last night.

Our time finally came to play the mighty Sir Charles Whetham (with one team member, who legend has it once appeared on MasterMind!!).

It was a humiliating experience. Mind you saying that we lost 98 v 67 and other teams have been beaten with over 100 so maybe we didn't do that bad.

We were at a distinct disadvantage in one round which was "Local Knowledge" and comprised questions on what some of the roads around Neyland were known as by the locals. Seeing as Ianto and Myfanwy are from Nottingham and have only lived here 8 months and I didn't grow up in the Neyland area then we were slightly handicapped.

Blodwyn continued to know all the answers after they had been given but did pull some obscure facts from somewhere to help out a bit. We did have quite a good laugh though, mostly at the expense of the guy who had set the questions and is obviously well known on the pub quiz circuit as being a "bit of a dick"!!

No quiz now till 7th January, but hopefully we can pull some games back in the New Year.
