Quiz 454

Have you ever had one of those days? Well, yes we all have. Yesterday I got the quiz finished early and went down to Kallkwik to get it printed out only to find I'd put the shortcut of the Dingbats guest round on the memory stick instead of the actual file, this was at 5:21pm. I busted my ass to get back home and put the correct file on the stick and get back into town before they closed, I even remember seeing a magpie and though I'm not superstitious I could hear it's call seemingly mocking me as I hobbled back across the Aldergate car park. When i got back to Kallkwik I found that in my haste I'd put last week's Trackword on instead. What an eejit. That's why there was no guest round last night. Mia Culpa. Sorry. on the plus side Next week's guest round is already prepared. Another disappointing turnout - sometimes i don't know why I bother - only four teams. Our winners last night were CJD with 87pts, A Much depleted Alliance team were second with 81pts and Drunks Aloud were third with 71 pts. I am still looking for another place to present a quiz so if anyone knows of a pub please let me know.
