Quiz 385

Last night's quiz would've been very enjoyable if it was not for the three morons who were loud and rude all night. I spent eleven and a half hours (yes I timed it) putting the quiz together and some pricks decide that they are going to have a laugh regardless of others feelings and my time and effort. Why is it that Yorkshiremen like the sound of their own voices? The old saying 'empty vessels make more sound' springs to mind. Anyway, we soldiered on in spite of the vacuous cockroaches and at the end of the night we had a tie for the second week running with The Magic Numbers and The Alliance who were back to full strength with the return of Margaret coming top with 91pts each and Burger Face were third a ways back on 83pts. I am in the same position as I was this time last week with only a blank template to start with but I'm not going to time it this week as I think that was a mistake as it proved to be a distraction. Just squinting at my list on the far wall I can just make out that next week's guest round is due to be....Caricatures. So that's a trip to Kall Kwik on Wednesday for some photocopying. When I've published this post I have to go to the council offices and politely ask how I can sent a letter telling me that I am in arrears with my Council Tax payments when I haven't received a bill? (Useless wankers). Anyone wishing to contact me can either leave a comment on the blog or email me at quizard_97@yahoo.co.uk.
