Another cracking night at The Albert yesterday. It really makes all my efforts worthwhile when I see a pub full of happy faces ready to do battle. For the second week running we had eight teams competing and our eventual winners were CJD with 90pts, The Alliance were second six points back on 84 and The Kavfords came in third with 78pts. I'm going to be as brief as I can today as I'm a little behind with things today and I still have to go into town to pay a bill before 5pm. Any questions, suggetions or comments email me at: quizard_97@yahoo.co.uk Finally check out the joke of the day at the end of this post, it is something I came across whilst searching for a picture of Jade Goody for yesterday's Faces round.
Leprechaun's Pot 'O' Gold
For the third week in a row £22 was collected. Last night's question was: What is the total area in square miles of the county of Staffordshire? The answer was 1,047 sq miles. Kate behind the bar was the closest with her guess of 1096 sq miles so she got half of last night's pot. Next Week Carol is away so Margaret fom The Alliance has very kindly stepped in to had out the slips and collect the monies. As it is the last quiz of the month the whole pot is going to be won by whoever gets closest answer, that is whatever is collected on the night plus £33 that has accumulated since June 5th.
