Okay I'm going to be brief as I am late posting due to the fact that I have been in bed most of the day trying to shake this damn cold. Another relatively quiet night at The Albert last night with only seven smallish teams. Our eventual winners were CJD with 85pts, The Props and The Alliance came joint second a point back on 84pts. So a very close run thing. In fact, the lowest score of the seven teams was 74pts so just eleven points seperating first from seventh. That's how I like it. Quickly looking across at the guest round schedule on the wall to my right I can see that next weeks is due to be Dingbats. That should keep Bob happy and quiet for a while. quizard_97@yahoo.co.uk for any questions and/or comments between now and Monday when, touch wood (yes I did), i shall be feeling a lot better. I'm in day 5 of it now so not much longer to go.
The pot reached an impressive £79 for the end of the month finale last night. The question was: What was the date and year of the only dead heat in the Varsity boat Race? The answer was March 24th 1877. I wonder if Mark behind the bar felt like going to work last night. it was certainly worth it as his guess of June 5th 1876 was the closest and he is now £79 better off.
