Ihope you have all been enjoying the glorious weather, long may it continue. I myself have been busy on the quiz for this Thursday and all that is needed for its completion are 16 questions, the final faces round and a Leprechaun's Pot 'O' Gold question. I compiled the music tape yesterday and think it's only fair to advise those who usually play their Joker on it that there is a distinct eighties flavour to it this week. Sorry, but that is just the way it turned out. This week's guest round is Connections, nine general knowledge questions with a clue in either the question or the answer to the answer to number 10, what is the connection. I had something of an epiphany for the theme and while I am struggling with the last three or four questions I am quite pleased with it thus far. Carry on enjoying the sunshine and I hope to see a full house at The Albert on Thursday. quizard_97@yahoo.co.uk as always is my email address should you wish to contact me in the meantime. Finally, I have definative proof that the Irish discovered Africa. Don't believe me? Check out the video at the end of this post. It's the first time I've posted a video so fingers crossed that it plays.
