Quiz 380

I'm sorry last night's quiz was a little to film orientated, I accept that criticism and promise to be a little more mindful of content from now on. It is hard however, when you don't have anyone proof reading for you, as you may well know you never proof read your own work as it is very likely that you would skip over a mistake without realising. Putting the quiz together is like trying to fly the Starship Enterprise with just a ZX81 and a couple of Texas Speak and Spells. Of the seven teams that took part at The Albert last night CJD ran out the winners with 93pts ending The Alliance's four week winning streak. The Alliance themselves came joint second along with The Magic Numbers both with 89pts.

In other news, I bought a new mug on Wednesday to replace the one that got smashed a couple of weeks ago, I wonder if I will still have this one in 18 years time. The next round of picture clues should be ready for next week, I have 59 pictures done and number 60 is ready to be edited on to the sheet. Then, I just need to print out a copy to make sure none of the pictures are cut off. Last night I had a visit from an old quizzer who hasn't been to The Albert for quite a while. He said he was writing quizzes of his own right now (Damn fool!) and would I be so good as to print out 20 copies of an old flags round for him for a quiz he is doing later this month to raise funds for the Staffordshire Air Ambulance. Of course I told him to 'F**k right off!' No I didn't, I found the file last night after I staggered home and shall be printing them out sometime over the weekend and will be giving him them next week when he turns up with a team... Hopefully.
