A Good Read

 

I’ve read most of the morning 
It’s an indulgence I rarely allow myself during the day, and it’s interesting that I only allowed myself the time to do it once every chore I could think of had already been completed. 
I take after my mother in that respect.
She would only have a drink once all the hoovering had been done

Quizzing

 
That's my quiz sheet from last Sunday night. The sheets cost £2 each and they are self-duplicating.

You win two beer tokens for a line, two for the four corners and four for the most points plus all the entry money collected. As it happens this sheet won the four corners:-

Q25 Who is the gamekeeper at Hogwarts School?
Q4   What JOTB  describes what someone  does when they decide to follow a current trend?
Q23  Which range of mountains separates France from Spain?
Q11  Name the iconic sit-com whose co-creator recently said that she was embarrassed about the lack of diversity on the show.

As you can see, supported by my three teammates, I scored 21 points out of 25 overall. The four I got wrong included: What kind of foodstuff is a morel? I put cherry when the answer was mushroom. I could have kicked myself.

Q 17 was a "true" or "false" question, that question being - There is a service station in Berlin, Germany where motorists are attended to my topless women - true or false? The answer was surprisingly, "true".

It's fun to focus on a quiz with three or four friends. The quiz provides a focus for the night so it's not just about drinking beer and  general conversation.

Mick and Mike and I cannot remember exactly when we started quizzing together but it was certainly in the last millennium. And there's always time  for catching up on things - family news, hobbies, the state of the nation, holidays, sport and male grooming products.

The fourth member of our team is Danny but he has only been with us eighteen months or so. He was once one of Mike's closest neighbours. Recently it was his seventieth birthday and he invited us to a slap up lunch at "The Prince of Wales" where Mike, Mick and I quizzed together before the place became a fairly posh restaurant.

By the way, if you hadn't already guessed, I was lying about male grooming products. We don't need them.
